New ffdshow build (?)

[Eragon4ever]

All translations are incomplete: this is a developpement branch of ffdshow, so new features are added everyday. Even the Japanese version where haruhiko_yamagata is working on won't have everything translated (DeBand, Treshold, Output queueing, ...).

Look what was his answer:

I'm aware of this (well, I didn't think about the other translations).
I didn't want to say it must be perfect in a project with this high activity, however some - I assume they are - old things are completely english. (Just looked ist 2/3 or more english)

And about the patch: Neither have I an idea how to make one nor is my english well enough to translate it correctly.

@foxyshadis: It's the AVI Splitter but exept that you are right.
And yes, libavcodec should decode "WMV3/9". Maybe this is the "incomplete" part.:rolleyes:

[Amour]

And about the patch: Neither have I an idea how to make one nor is my english well enough to translate it correctly.
In fact, you cannot imagine how difficult it is to translate this project. Each phrase is assign a number AND a group number. You have to find both numbers in order to be able to translate one phrase. There is no list of phrases-to-translate. You have to find them one by one among all the source files of the project...

But before you can even start translating, you need to learn about some alien thing called SVN, and finally learn about how to do a patch... I hope I will make it one day.

Other softwares I know have easy XML files available for translation.

\src\settings\filters\TresizeAspectSettings.cpp
strncatf(buf,len,_l(", horizontal warp: %-5.3f, verticalWarp: %-5.3f"),simpleWarpXparam/1000.0f,simpleWarpYparam/1000.0f);
Should be:
strncatf(buf,len,_l(", horizontal warp: %-5.3f, vertical warp: %-5.3f"),simpleWarpXparam/1000.0f,simpleWarpYparam/1000.0f);

\src\settings\filters\TsubtitlesSettings.cpp
tsprintf(s,_l("%s %3i%% (%s)"),w?w->_(id):_l("Horizontal position"),x,w?w->_(id,posS):posS);
Should be:
tsprintf(s,_l("%s %3i%% (%s)"),w?w->_(id):_l("Horizontal position:"),x,w?w->_(id,posS):posS);

I will try to propose a patch for all those corrections during the week.

[foxyshadis]

Actally clsid has been fixing the typos as you've found them. Thanks for searching, btw, it must be very tedious.

[clsid]

@Amour, I have added all your text fixes to the SVN.

[TFM_TheMask]

I think I found a bug in the latest tryouts.

It seems like when your source is *.MOV with AAC 6 channel audio (for example the HD trailers from Apple (http://www.apple.com/trailers/)) and you want to encode the audio to AC3 with the ffdshow AC3 encoder there are a lot of downmix overflows. The sound seems to be distorted as if the volume is to high.

Now I have installed back an old version of ffdshow (dated 24-11-2005) and the sound is Ok now when doing the AC3 encoding. No downmix overflows.

How about this bug???

[LoRd_MuldeR]

@drevil_xxl
Is it possible that your builds turn off the H.264 deblocking?
I installed your rev202 today and I was wondering why my H.264 video look so much blocky.
Then I noticed deblocking was turned off completely :scared:
But I cannot remember to have done that...

[haruhiko_yamagata]

But before you can even start translating, you need to learn about some alien thing called SVN, and finally learn about how to do a patch... I hope I will make it one day.
Oh, I'm sorry. If making a patch troubles you, please submit the whole translations file.
As for the typo, patches are more desirable though.

[BlindWanderer]

I think the deblocking turn off may have been a new feature (i don't remember it existing before).

I installed rev202 sse build and it works (but i did set the installer this time to erase my settings) so all is good in the world again.

I peaked at the ffmpeg source and I understand r6290 (and why it was required) but the more i wrap my brain about the source; the less it makes sence... suppose a proper education would help ^^;

[ianken]

How about this bug???

I too have found that AC3 encoder and output does not work for any build newer than 20051129.

Which is a bummer since that is one of the coolest features, particluarly if you've got aome AAC 5.1 stuff.

I also use it for XP-MCE to handle layer 2 audio for live tv, do volume normalization and output DD 2.0

[BlindWanderer]

http://i9.tinypic.com/3zk5kkn.jpg

Yeah, that checkbox is what i was reffering to (i found it while looking for checkboxes).

[haruhiko_yamagata]

@developpers

I'm trying to install hook script for the svn to send notify e-mails. Untill it begin to work, you may have weird e-mail from sf.net. Please ignore.

[_xxl]

I think it should have been working in old ffdshow.
I have ffdshow-20040806.exe and ffdshow-20050303-sse.exe.
ffdshow-20040806.exe don't have strereoscopic option.
ffdshow-20050303-sse.exe have stereoscopic and does not crash, but it's not viewable.
Because building from old svn is hard, could someone help me?
ffdshow-20050703.exe works ok.
ffdshow-20050822.exe is not.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Yeah, that checkbox is what i was reffering to (i found it while looking for checkboxes).

But why disable deblocking? Maybe usefull when you know what you are doing, but should not be disable for normal users. They might think H.264 looks very blocky and switch to WMV9 instantly...

[haruhiko_yamagata]

ffdshow-20050703.exe works ok.
ffdshow-20050822.exe is not.
Thank you. I deleted stereoscopic subtitle because nobody seems to need it. If anyone need it, we can revert anytime.

List of known issues in revision 209:

1) VC-1, VMnc, and VP6F do not work. ffdshow isn't even placed in the DirectShow graph. (reported by clsid)
2) VP6 has artifacts and weird colors when decoded. (reported by clsid)
3) SVQ3 crashes when used in combination with Haali's MP4 splitter. Possibly not a ffdshow issue. (reported by Peuj)
4) Some SVQ3 files play with artifacts / color shifts / totally messed up picture. (reported by Peuj)
5) If there's an error in avisynth script in ffdshow, the error message is displayed on top of video. That's ok, but interestingly enough, even if I uncheck the whole avisynth page in ffdshow, the error message still remains. (reported by Egh)
6) When there's more than one audio-stream in the file and you're using ffdshow's built-in audio-switcher, ffdshow performs all audio post-processing on all of the streams, thus slowing it way down. (reported by flanger216)
7) When outputting the audio to AC3 using the ffdshow AC3 encoder there are a lot of downmix overflows. The sound seems to be distorted as if the volume is to high. (reported by TFM_TheMask)

Notes:
- Problem 2 does NOT occur in FFplay. So FFMPEG/libavcodec code is working.
- Problem 4 also occurs in FFplay, so problem is likely due to incompleteness of SVQ3 in FFMPEG code.

[KoD]

The h264 in-loop deblocker must be enabled at all times. It's part of how h264 works. Which means that "skip deblocking always" checkbox must be unchecked.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

The h264 in-loop deblocker must be enabled at all times. It's part of how h264 works. Which means that "skip deblocking always" checkbox must be unchecked.

It can be chcked for better performance, but it definitely should not be checked by default.

[Egh]

Yeah, that checkbox is what i was reffering to (i found it while looking for checkboxes).

I suggested some time ago that those checkboxes need to be moved to another page ^^ Decoding options looks like proper candidate for them.

And the best solution is to redo them as in CoreAVC -- single combobox with "standard deblocking, no b-frame deblocking, no deblocking" options in it. This would make is much less confusing for the users, who discover a checkbox more than a year after it was introduced ^^

I just tested MPC using the Cyberlink video decoder in my last test report.
Sorry about the misunderstanding.

[Jeremy Duncan]

is DeviL.dLL a part of FFdshow's code ? Or is the only program that uses it Avisynth ?

[clsid]

It's not part of ffdshow.

I found a bug.

If ffdshow is inputing DVD decoder's output as raw video,
and if mpeg2 is disabled or DVD decoding is unchecked,
and if Subtitles is unchecked and "File" is valid,
the video shows subtitle unrelated to the DVD movie.

In my reproduce test, DScaler DVD decoder+Queue is problematic. It works with MPC's internal DVD decoder.
Interestingly, if mpeg2 decoder of ffdshow is enabled and DVD decoding is checked, the problem goes. ffdshow does not decode actually. Please see if it is true with your case.

Thank you very much for the French translations.
Your translations are included. Please see if it works.

Seek problem with DScaler DVD decoder is fixed. Please check.

Windows NT 4.0 sp6 have not been supported by my builds. This time I have built custom msvcr80.dll to support NT 4.0 sp6. If you are a user of NT 4.0 sp6, please test. If you are not a user of NT 4.0, normal msvcr80.dll is installed.

The build is labeled 228, but it does not include the change of 227 (simply timing issue).

Your translations are included. Please see if it works.
Looks ok, but the shortcuts from the Start Menu aren't translated (audio decoder configuration, uninstall ffdshow, ...). I'll try to investigate. [edit] It's because I didn't translate it... gomen.

My small test is conclusive: the phrases to translate are case-sensitive (so you need both to translate “None” and “none” for example).

Clsid builds do not offer language choice at installation time. Maybe an auto-detect language script would be convenient.

Now it needs to complete the translation work (add the GNU licence, fix layout for long phrases, complete the translation(s)). I will see another day. :)

@Amour: I'm currently working on the German translation (I found more or less out how it works:D ) and you only have to save the file and (re)open the ffdshow window.

This really helps.

The installer doesn't check the boxen (in the installer) based on the current settings in the registry. It will re-use the settings chosen during a previous installation, or else use it own defaults. I can change the behaviour to read settings from the registry if there is enough demand for it.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

So if your installer can "remember" the settings from a previous installation, this means you save those settings to some place in the registry. But why save the settings in installer-specific registry keys when ffdshow saves the settings in the regsitry anyway? Wouldn't it make more sense to use the same registry keys for ffdshow and the installer? I personally would appreciate if your installer could load my current ffdshow settings from the registry.

Anyway, thanks for keeping the builds up-to-date :)

Yes, revision 236 is working well for me on Vista RC1 v5728. In fact I consider this the best Vista solution for multimedia, with Haali's matroska splitter.

Though, can someone please explain:

1. Why the default install overwrites mp1, mp2, mp3 and lcpm used in windows with open source ones?

2. Why the default install has flac disabled?

Thanks alot of ffdshow.
