Mpeg4modifier does not start

Hi. I've just bought a new pc, AMD x2 3800+. Mpeg4modifier runs fine on my Intel P4 but on the new pc it just pops up with the following error. "MPEG4Modifier.exe - Fatal error, CLR error: 80004005. The program will now terminate." Any help with this would be appreciated. Im running XP SP2 and .NET both patched to the hilt.

The new (beta 1.1.x) versions of XviD now come with such a DSdec filter. Or if you're happy with the version of XviD you already have and don't wish to install the beta, you could just swap the decoder filter with this version.

Sadly, there are very few Mpeg4 DSdec filters that can detect PAR/DAR signalling.

I use media player classic with ffdshow. Which of those are to blame for the fact that the adjusted AR is not recognized? I'm going to bug those responsible to get this fixed.

You have to enable aspect ratio output in ffdshow first. So blame yourself

Oh well

Where is that setting?

And BTW, shouldn't it be enabled by default?

No idea. It should be though. Perhaps Celtic Druid can make it a default setting when compiling the binaries from source?

Should be a simple matter of changing the nsi script. Could be a very good reason why it isn't the default setting though.

I must admit it confused me aswell.... I think AR signalling detection should be activated by default too

Script for batch removing PacketBitStream

I was make simple script for batch removing PBS from avi files in same folder.
Save this text as ie: removePBS.bat and when you want removing PBS fro mall files in folder just run it

It is first release you can publish, edit and distributing as you want.

@echo off
rem Path to UnpackCL
set path=c:\windows
rem temporary directory
set temp_dir=temp
rem Set extension ie: AVI, DIVX
set filter=avi
rem ************************************
echo Removing PacketBit stream from Avi(Xvid) files ...
rem create temporary directory...
md %temp_dir%
for %%f in (*.%filter%) do (
echo ----------------------------------------------
echo Konverze: %%f
%path%\UnpackCL.exe -i "%%f" "%temp_dir%\%%f"
)
echo
echo ---- Cleaning up... -----
rem move thumbnails and remove temporary directory
rmdir %temp_dir%
echo ----------------------------------------------
echo "Done. Copyright by Lowprize. Visit www.lowprize.tk !"
echo ----------------------------------------------
pause

I tried e-mailing the ffdshow guy using the e-mail address in the 'about' section about making this a default setting, but I haven't gotten a reply. Is there some way to inform them about this or get a reply as to whether they can do it?

It certainly looks like that but I haven't tried it . Gambit's GUI works very well, though.

Unpacking results in artefacts?!

Hello all,

I read somewhere on Doom9 unpacking a packed bitstream has no effect on image quality. Still, since I've started unpacking only recently (for playing on DivX/XviD capable DVD-player) I always compare the unpacked file to the original one when I encounter artefacts to assure myself of this fact. Until now I never found artefacts that weren't present in the packed file. Below you find links to image samples of the artefacting after unpacking. Does anyone have an explanation for this?

After unpacking:

Before unpacking:

Some more info on the source file:

Packed bitstream: Yes
QPel: No
GMC: No
Interlaced: No
Aspect ratio: Square pixels
Quant type: H.263

I-VOPs: 686 (1,15%)
P-VOPs: 22864 (38,20%)
B-VOPs: 36298 (60,65%)
S-VOPs: 0 (0,00%)
N-VOPs: 0 (0,00%)

Max consecutive B-VOPs: 2
1 consec: 33,96%
2 consec: 66,04%

User Data: DivX999b000p, XviD0038

This is a bug in MPEG4Modifier that needs to be fixed. Try importing the packed video stream directly to *.mp4 with MP4Box, MP4Box will unpack it and do it correctly. I've seen the same issue as you have right now when modifying MPEG-4 video with MPEG4Modifier, like for instance when changing Aspect Ratio from the left (not Display AR). Doing that has resulted in b0rked picture quality.

Packed bitstream has nothing to do with quality. What it does is to improve decoding in the *.avi container, because the *.avi container isn't really suited for MPEG-4 video, so it needs packed bitstream.
