Okay, that's true that as a script is already involved, this operation can be done by the script. I agree with that.

BUT ! The problem here is that I didn't wan't to do a "non anamorphic" target, but an anamorphic one (that means that even if the box has been enabled, I wouldn't have checked it).

The problem is : as the source was identified as 4:3, the target was done without the anamorphic flag set on. And when I put it into DVDLab, the file was identified as 4:3 and not 16:9 !

I had to parse all the m2v via dvdpatcher to activate the anamorphic flag befor to author the DVD.

That is why I thought the box should be activated anytime. To tell if you want to set the anamorphic flag on or off in the target.
But perhaps your idea of this box differs from mine!

A "Override Automatic Settings" check box, perhaps

I don't know if it was posted before but ich I choose on Pack-Shot 5.1 AC3-Sound the Output File is a MP2 Stream with 128kbps. If I look with the Editor in the Command lines the AC3enc is choosen. I don't know what it is.
Is it a bug, inc.???

Hi EM ,you should wait to hear from INc but in the new version of pack shot there is a message about there being a problem with AC3 or something did you read that because maybe it defaults to Mp2

Just a guess though

Hi sorry for beeing that late.
The issue was a bad " -f1 " parameter in azid( ) and thats fixed now.
New Version 1.02.3 is online.

According to the warning window. Thats an agrement with DSPguru, so it clearyfies that ac3enc is just a 3rd parity filter and so DSPguru will not be responsable for any ac3 issue which could happen.

Well in my case .. ype, mp2s sound louder but all my ac3s do sound even louder than the original VOB if auto Gain is choosen.

Another little bug I've found. Not realy bad but a bug. If you choose the credits and again and again then the credits you can see first once then twice etc.

using PackShot_1.02.3+BeSweet

VIDEO:
source ntsc 720x480 AR 16:9
target : ntsc 704x480
GOP 18
FPS 23,976 NTSC FILM
2 pass
pulldown

in AUDIO:
track 1 stream 1: pt : ac3: 6 ch
track 2 no audio
audio track1 ac3 5.1 256 0db 48.000khz (would be wrote 48Khz or 48000Hz!)
audio track2 grayed

observations using win2K:
the windows run slow and if i try open the win explorer the system crash(freeze)...happen 2 times, was needed to reset the system(reboot) then i re stard and don't open the win explorer and PackShot run ok!
feature request:...ink can we have a "process priority" option (if is possible)

AUDIO result:
final size 0 bytes (ZERO) why?

VIDEO result:
final size 1,06Gb
quality (powerdvd) wow! very good image!

loading the video in tmpgencdvdauthor i got:
The video GOP is too long.
The video GOP is too long.
For a standard DVD it is necessary that the GOP fulfill the following condition:
Max 36 fields (18 frames) (NTSC format only)
Max 30 fields (15 frames) (PAL format only)
why if i was choosed 23,976 ntsc film ,GOP 18 and pulldown

jorel,

if you want to change the process priority, start encoding as you normally would, then cancel it with CTRL+C, go to MS-DOS command prompt, move to the Packshot\engines folder. You should see the file called encode.bat, which is the one containing the command line for your last encoding work (the one that you cancelled).

In the command prompt, use this command line to restart your encode "start /belownormal encode.bat" (without the quotes). Now it will run in below normal priority. Use "start /idle encode.bat" if you want it to run in idle priority.

@ Boulder (always with shine hints)
(i'm using win2K)
i don't have a encode.bat in Packshot\engines folder.
i "found" ---> process.bat where are the command lines:
"mencoder.exe" -of rawvideo -sws 9 -nosound...."
"engines/BeSweet.exe" -core( -input "D:\..."
is that the right .bat
have a way to do another .bat that call the process.bat
using "start /belownormal xxxx.bat" (without the quotes) ?
thanks in advance my friend!

@ ink and all:
about the audio..

AUDIO result:

maybe this is the reason:
i was ripped in dvddecrypter the main movie and the portuguese audio only in "file split"---> none and got a big vob ~3,18Gb.
when i load the ifo file in PackShot and choose the
track 1 stream 1: pt : ac3: 6 ch
and in the process.bat command line was wrote: ...-substream 0x80..
but the portuguese is the ---> -substream 0x82
then i change the command line to the right substream to the right audio !
....then i get the right audio.

i can't choose the right audio track in PackShot ripping the vobs like i did!
i did something wrong?
thank you!

Yes, that's the file you should launch. I don't know if the 'start' command works from a bat file, that's something you'll have to try

Jorel I did tests on a NTSC VOB where both audios came out perfect, even in AC3!

So thers something wrong you did set.
Kwag also already did encodings and had no Probs with audio or EVEN GOP
As the Keinterval will be set in the process.bat as you choosed it in the encoding settings. So IF GOP 18 is choosen, the keyinterval in the commandline will have that value

So my advice to you and ALL is ... if you got probs dont quote parts of the process.bat but do quote here the WHOLE generated process.bat of the engines folder! So I can clearly see what will be processed and where could be the problem!

So Jorel Post in here your process.bat content and I CAN SEE.
(sorry for confusing ... theres no "encoding.bat" but a process.bat in the engines folder.)

EVERY Time DO RIP ALL Audios from your DVD when using DVDdecrypter and Packshots IFO recognisng option!!
If not, do NOT load the IFO!!, and therefore use the Stream IDs in the Audio Track Combo List box instead!! That stream ID then will be then given to Besweets Commandline.
Because the IFO recognision will be corrupt if you do choose only the neded audio in DVDdecrypter, means the 0x82 will still be 0x82 but the IFO will tell packshot that the first audio is 0x80 !!

Do you plan to change things or will I have to use dvdpatcher any time ?
It's stange that you dont suffer from this yourself. Am I the only one that use dvd2avi just to cut the credits ?

New Packshot is released!

Its beta, so please do report bugs, thanx!

The resizing engine of Mencalc is now included, means direct avi/mpeg4 support.
In case of a wanted cropping of the blackborders before (when adding noise on black borders containing sources) please in this beta state do use "commandline only" and do tweak the resizing parameters to your own needings. The final release will contain a "Film Pixel" cropping support where that will be no problem anymore.

http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10915

Read also the included Readme, as Packshot now comes including a codecs.conf file so users just have to install ffvfwmakeavis (if really needed for avs) and put the copy of mencoder.exe into the "packshot" folder, thats it.

hi Inc.,

I found a really HUGE problem- the filename is "1.0.50" but it should be "1.05.0"

Finally installed and ran this now and it is fantastic!!!!!! Lot's of features and the batch encoding is really great. Thanks a lot for making this

Hi incredible,
I tried packshot on my win98se machine and .. well... the command line is too long apparently and I see the command-line call to mencoder but the result is "Bad command or file name".
It seems the command-line is too long. Could you save some of the options to a temp.conf file which mencoder would read instead?

Thanks anyway.

As in here at kvcd now many users do "try" to generate proper working KsVCDs/kDVDs ... I added a "Caution" Remark in that Packshot Download Thread.
Its a fact that everything which bases on mencoder.exe should be handled carefully and no author of a mencoder GUI can take the responsibilty as the main problem relates to the non proper working ratecontrol code of mencoder.exe

So see that GUI only as a possibility for experienced users to get "tweakable" commandline outputs.

Well, a report . PackShot 1.05.0
1. The source is *.vob with 3 audio tracks. Audio 1 German 6ch, audio 2 German 2ch, audio 3 English 6ch. I want audio 1 English 6ch 256 kbps, audio 2 German mp2 128 kbps (from the 6ch track). I select the appropriate tracks after loading the *.ifo and click "Command line".
The generated command line is:

Code:
"C:\PackShot\PackShot\engines\BeSweet.exe" -core( -input "E:\LOTR\Teil1\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB"
 -output "E:\LOTR\Teil1\VIDEO_TS\lotrfotrfull.1.mp2" -substream 0x82 )
 -azid( -g max ) -ac3enc( -b 256 -6ch )
 
"C:\PackShot\PackShot\engines\BeSweet.exe" -core( -input "E:\LOTR\Teil1\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB"
 -output "E:\LOTR\Teil1\VIDEO_TS\lotrfotrfull.2.mp2" -substream 0x80 )
 -azid( -s dplii -L -3db) -mp2enc( -m s -p 2 -b 128 -e )
 
"C:\PackShot\PackShot\engines\mplex.exe" -v1 -f 8 -r 0 -p 1 -V -b 232 -o E:\LOTR\Teil1\VIDEO_TS\lotrfotrfull.mpg "E:\LOTR\Teil1\VIDEO_TS\lotrfotrfull.1.mp2" 
"E:\LOTR\Teil1\VIDEO_TS\lotrfotrfull.2.mp2" "E:\LOTR\Teil1\VIDEO_TS\lotrfotrfull.m2v"
Well, I expected for the first track the output to be *.ac3, but it is *.mp2. Maybe this is in favor for mplex muxing I don't know.
2. I start the encoding, but had a feeling it is too slow. So I decided to reboot. Kill cmd.exe, save settings in PS, reboot. Launch PS, load settings. The source is loaded (vob), I specified the same target, but the ifo is not loaded, the field is greyed out (I cannot load it). First track is there (English 6ch)-OK, the second is also there(German 6ch), but greyed out. I clicked Command Line to see what for line it will generate. The Line:
Code:

Hmm, for some reason as input in mencoder line I have the expand settings. As expected only one audio is taken in consideration.
3. The last I will report only for fun and completion. I am sure and aware that THIS IS NOT PACKSHOT BUG. The mencoder used was from MPlayer-mingw32-1.0pre4.zip. The encoded *.m2v has NEGATIVE (Yes, yes, MINUS ) average bitrate, namely -235 Kbps (shown by VDubMod, and I seen it in cmd.exe, before the ecoding to complete). Nevertheless it played OK in MPC and the quality is also OK (av bitrate specified you can see in the command lines here above)
So, that's it.
