DVD2SVCD: DVD2KVCD Plugin - Page 12

Big2hd · #**221** 01-16-2004, 05:44 PM

i think it is a great tool to use, especially the early version dvd2svcd where all you had to is put the ini files in the right place and you get a perfect kvcd.

This plugin was gonna be greatest but the file comes out way too big sometimes which is now for me all the time!

Azel don't give up dude, with little bit tweaking I think it might be success

You forgot that you have to use gripcrop in order to set the KVCDx3 resolution and use overscan, and it is known for having a lot of problems.

You forgot that D2S muxes with bbmpeg that gives file bigger than with tmpgenc (even if according to kwag, this one has problems sometimes, I never saw any)

You forgot also (or don't know) that D2S use a "B spoilage" set to 20 and that is not good at all.

All that do not make D2S the best tool for making KVCD.

Can't forget something I don't know

All that do not make D2S the best tool for making KVCD.[quote]

I agree, but it sure doesn't make it the worse, and correct me if I'm wrong(like you won't) but that is why dvd2kvcd plugin was made.

To (s)kvcd and dvd-->kvcd a lil easier

I don't care what anybody says dvd2kvcd plugin shows great promise and it would be nice(answer to my prayers lol!) if it was further developed(including some avi-->kvcd of course lol!).

So azel let us know how it is going dude

If you want I test it for ya, I'm very good at f!@king these things up so I should find every bug there is

For sure but what is the benefit to use a tool whith such defaults and only one advantage (to let you be lazzy) ? I really don't think that worth the cost.

You are right. The plugin if for people more lazzy than the normal D2S user is ! When I use D2S for KVCD I do not use the plugin and I set things myself by hand. As soon as you set all the parameters ONCE, there are only one or two things to change for each KVCD. But it seems than EVEN THAT was too much for some peoples. Then the plugin was done.

But the plugin does not bypass the defaults I resumed above. BTW, how would it do that ? They are internal to the program and can't be avoided !

Perhaps AZEL do not have time to lost in doing things completly useless. hugh ?

Dialhot you confusing lazziness with conveince dude, and what the heck is wrong with making kvcd's "on the fly" while your going to work or to the gym and you can just set it forgot it.

Well I did not know that, but I think with a lil bit more tweaking it could probably bypass some of the defaults.Anyways thats why people author's make new versions of there apps and go to forums to talk to superduper genious's like yourself for help

yeah I'm sure Azel has better things to do than to make a supercool all in one app that convert dvd & avi(hey maybe can throw mpg in there!) into kvcd/kdvd with few simple steps.

Dahm, this program was working perfect for me until yesterday..
I haven´t used it for about a month or so, but yesterday I wanted to make a SKVCD, and did exectly what I did all the other times.
But this time this happens:

Code:

I had the program in c:\DVD2SVCD before, but tried to change it, to see if if might work...
Some times I get TMPGEnc to pop up on the screen for about a split second, and then it comes with a failure, and closes.!
I have tried different versions of TMPGEnc now, and they all do the same.

You can also see it by the time stamp:

Video Encoding finished.

And then bbMPEG comes with a error:

Input file C:\programmer\dvd2svcd\movie\encoded_video_tmpgenc _ntsc was not found

With I can understand, since TMPGEnc dosen´t make anyfile at all...

Has anybody else had this problem.???

Im totaly lost here...

^^ i don't think this prob is caused by the plugin
much more probable is that your avs-script is not working correct.
try to open it with a software player, and maybe there's an error message!
if not, post it, but i'm pretty sure it's cause of the script

and i don't think dvd2kvcd works when it's not placed in dvd2svcd-folder!

No it won´t work unless it´s in the same folder.

Heres the Avs-Script that it creates:

Code:

LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\DVD2SVCD\AVISYN~1.5PL\Mpeg2dec\MPEG2D~1.DLL")
AVISource("C:\xxxx.AVI",False)
ConvertToYUY2()
Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_max=8,variance=0.3,seed=5823)
Deen()
GripCrop(480, 480+0+0, overscan=1, source_anamorphic=false, dest_anamorphic=false)
GripSize(resizer="LanczosResize")
Undot()
TemporalSoften(2,7,7,3,2)
DCTFilter(1,1,1,1,1,1,0.5,0)
GripBorders()
function ConvertToYUY2(clip c){ return isYV12(c) ? c : convertToYV12(c) }
function ConvertToYUY2(clip c){ return isYV12(c) ? c : convertToYV12(c) }

It´s very strange, because it worked perfect a month ago...

KYUSS · #**229** 03-20-2004, 06:35 AM

does this proggy work with perm subs?

bazzy2004 · #**230** 05-08-2004, 09:58 AM

ok so i read all the way through the posts...
its meant ot be easy as 1..2...3... yeh?

select kvcd... , choose which kvcd u want... skvcd etc...
then wen dvd2svcd loads, just rip n convert, right..?

and it should work right?

in the faq it says 352x480 will get 120 mins, will it do this automatically?
or do i need to fiddle around with it?

soz for looking dumb, i have just started on this whole vcd/svcd/cvd/etc..
plz dnt mind...

Dialhot · #**231** 05-08-2004, 10:42 AM

It should work but have in mind that a new version of dvd2svcd went out recently and there are perhaps some changes that make the plugin to not work anymore.

Give us the result of your attempts.

bazzy2004 · #**232** 05-09-2004, 06:28 AM

i chose the skvcd 528x480 one, with 2 disc, because i wanted good quality! and it did it!

3 hours on 2 discs, 1 hour 30mins each...

use a clean install of dvd2svcd, then simply just install this plugin, chose your settings, badaboom badabing... sorted! just rip and convert!

leave it for aboout 11 hours for 3 hours movie!

Sorted!

Done this at least twice and still no go! All I seem to get is a red message in TMPGen saying somthing about Gripcop! I am using OS 98 second edition....Still Iwill keep trying.

Dialhot · #**234** 05-13-2004, 01:46 PM

Try to give a little more details on this "somethign about gripcrop" please.

English Bob · #**235** 05-18-2004, 07:44 AM

Well installed DVD2SVCD and the plug in again to a empty second drive along with TMPGenc, and I now get this message.."avisynth script file avs can not open or unsupported", I have used DVD2SVCD plenty of times with great results using CCE and TMPGenc,just when I use this plugin there seems to be error after error...so Im confused.
Thank you!

Verify in the VFAPI tab of the settings of this second TMPGENC installation that readAVS is well configured.

Normally it is declared by DVD2SVCD but I don't know what happen when you install 2 times the product (as it seems you did).

English Bob · #**237** 05-18-2004, 11:04 AM

Sorry about this, moved up the settings as suggested and no go, so formatted my hard drive and installed my older version of DVD2SVD on the drive with the plugin in and TMPGenc and got the red gripcrop error again, details as follows.

Script error, there is no function named " gripcrop"

D:\file name,AVS line 4,

Looked at the file and gripcrop is indeed line 4, moved the sript to other folders hoping it would find it but no avail, could it be a DLL I need or what?

Mant thanks.

Dialhot · #**238** 05-18-2004, 11:54 AM

For sure : you need all the plugin dll called into your script ! Gripcrop pis only the first one but you will miss all the ones that follow this line

Is it the first time you use a script ?
