AutoQ2 will get You the right Q-Value.
So You can do One-Pass-Encodes with CCE.
With AutoQ2 I use another prediction methode.
THX goes to Prodater64 for helping me out with the predictionmode.

I support Windows 2000 SP4 & Windows XP SP1/SP2.

I didn't test the basic edition. Normaly it should. Create a ecl-file with the basic edition and take a look for the first line in the file.

You can also setup a customize CCE version using your first line.

this might be a stupid question but i will still ask. What does the audio input of AutoQ2 do? Does it mux the encoded video and audio together at the end?

[Amnon82]

AutoQ2 only reads out the infos from the audio files. Authoring is not implemented yet.

Hello Amnon82,

When I want to load the next avs-script, I get this
errormessage:

"List index out of bounds (14)"

What does it means?

[Amnon82]

Welcome to this forum. ;)
I always like people who post their first post for my apps. :D

When does it happen?
Did you use the latest version 1151?

Please upload the picture to imageshack (http://imageshack.us/) and the avs to megaupload (http://megaupload.com).

thx.

[DVB-Freak]

Thank you for the welcome-greetings.:D

It is version 1151. When I load my script, following message
comes:

http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/697/listindex1ky.jpg

Then I start the prediction and then comes the next error:

http://img430.imageshack.us/img430/2913/framesize5xp.jpg

This is my avs-script:

I hope, you can fix the error.

[hddvd]

now about the first error, but i think the second one means that you have to resize to 720x480(NTSC) or 720x576(PAL).

[Amnon82]

@DVB-Freak - What you can do:

First Bug: Load a AVI or D2V directly and see what happen.

Second Bug: Load your AVS into AutoQ2. Take a look on the informations AutoQ2 reads out. Hit 'Run prediction' and abort the run. Don't close AutoQ2. Go to your AutoQ2 folder and search for the 'temp'-folder. Save the prediction.avs-file somewhere else. Play this AVS in MediaPlayerClassic. It seems You don't have the right resolution.

News about the upcoming 1152:

1152 will support VOB-Files !!!

Here some screenshots:

What do you guys think? :D
DVD Authoring will come soon ...

[Amnon82]

So. I added VOB Support, but I forgot to add an abort function.
The question was now where to place the abort button.
The solution was to use the 'working'-window and use the abort-button of that window. Also I found a way to bind the infomation-window of DGIndex to the 'working'-window of AutoQ2.
If you move the window of AutoQ2 you also move the information window with it :D

Here some screens:

[DVB-Freak]

@Amnon82

Sorry that i nerve you again with my problems.:(

I use version 1153. I load the d2v-file and autoq2 creates
a avs-script and a ecl-file. Then i run the prediction and the
same cce-error happens. Have a look at the ecl-file:

http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/4932/ecl7vd.jpg

Why write autoq2 the wrong size into the file?
I am confused.:confused:

[hddvd]

WOW! This program just keeps getting better. Once you add dvd-authoring, its over with. Keep up the great work.

[Amnon82]

@DVB-Freak: You can't nerve me at all. I can't reproduce your problem. I took your script and added one of my D2V-files. I started with logoaway 4.01 filter and also without. In both it worked. So the problem must be the d2v-file of yours. Try to load your script into MediaPlayerClassic or VirtualDub and see what happen. Also you can load now your VOB-files directly. If you have an mpeg-file, rename it to VTS_01_1.VOB or use the DGIndex you'll find in AutoQ2/DGIndex.
