I read more posts and found out abou the filename length problem - definitely the reason for the above. I was using very long filenames -of the form myhero-1xn-bla bla bla bla bla-k3s.mpg... It works fine now (I just use a short name instead.)

You are right -- but it could be a preset size perhaps (776megs for an 80m CD)... just thinking aloud.. :?: or we could set our own preset sizes?

CalcuMatic updated to 1.0.7
 

CalcuMatic Latest version -> 1.0.7 http://www.kvcd.net/CalcuMatic.exe

Now displays correct time when project file was made without "Force FILM", and frame rate is 29.97fps.

Can someone show me the new link to this guide?This link isn't working

CalcuMatic 1.0.8 released!
 

@All,

This new version now takes into consideration DVD/VCD/SVCD multiplex overhead.
A button, which defaults to "No Mux Overhead", can be toggled between that, "VCD/SVCD Mux Overhead" and "DVD Mux Overhead".
I also added "Tooltips" to all items.

Enjoy ;)

it's here....thank you thank you for CalcuMatic 1.0.8 !
:D

May we have the source of this tool ?

If you look for me...









.... I'm already out

:-D

:lol:

Thanx Karl for the new version

Since we can go directly from VOB now is there a way to get the Source to grab the VOB or no.

Just curious :D

Thanks bigggt,

No. I wish that too :D
I would have to scan the complete VOB (just like when you open a VOB in Vdub) to get the complete time code.
So that's a no no :)
You can, however, open AVI files. Both XviD, DivX and Huffy.

-kwag

Thanx Karl

I figured it wasn't logical or it would have been done a long time ago :D

Well, thinking about it, I could probably use some of my "turbo" reading routines that I use in DIKumciser. But I would still have to scan the complete file. I'm sure it would be faster than the time it takes to load a VOB, say in Vdub, but it would still be maybe a couple of minutes or so to scan a ~5GB VOB.
But I'll give it a thought for a future version :cool:

CalcuMatic 1.0.9
 

Added 9.4GB DVD size to target selection.
Thanks for the suggestion Encoder Master :)
( and enjoy your new dual layer drive ;) )

-kwag

thanks again!

Version 1.0.9.a out!
 

Corrected size error if choosing 24Min. (240MB) CD-R size.
Corrected to exact size for DVD5 selection.
Corrected to exact size for DVD9 selection.
Renamed 4.7GB DVD to 4.7GB DVD5, in target selection.
Renamed 9.4 DVD to the corrrect definition of dual layer DVD which is 8.5GB DVD9, in target selection.
9.4GB would be the case for a double sided DVD. Not a dual layer DVD, as it was labeled :oops:

( Thanks again Encoder Master, for pointing out the dual layer size issue :) )

-kwag

:rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

I love your humor!!! :rotf:

I can't agree with that :!: The tool size is already 18 KB :!: Do you want to make it become a 20 KB monster ?

What could I fit in :arrow: 2KB :?:
Hmmm.... We'll see :cool:

-kwag

Kwag - how about IFO reading then? The timecodes are in there I think (?)

Yes, but they are also in the DVD box and printed in the DVD :!:
So it's just a matter of entering the minutes :D

-kwag

:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

<have you EVER seen a cat blush!!!???>

Oops - was so wrapped up in the idea I missed the bigger picture...
Sorry, mate..

(mind you, some of those quoted times are not right!)

<Fluffbutt wanders around feeling very silly...>

:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

:lol:

What the hell...
 

Well, what the hell Fluffbutt. Go get your CalcuMatic version 1.0.11 that can open IFO files, and also .mpg files ;)

Re: What the hell...
 

:lol:
Let's see.... what else can we still fit, and keep it below 20KB :D :cool:

-kwag

Thanx for the new version Kwag but

what does opening an ifo do ,i tried the one i still have on the computer and it was 5 seconds?

It should give you the time of the selected title.
Unless the IFO is corrupt or something :!:
I tested it on a NTSC rip, and on a PAL DVD, and it gave me exact time.
There could still be errors on IFO reading using this version, because it's the first version that I implemented the feature.

-kwag

Ok thanx Karl

I don't know but maybe it is they way its ripped with DVD decrypter because the way i learned to do it(newbie way) dvd shrink will not open the ifo . :?:

I use IFO mode and not File mode

When doing that you ripp only the movie related IFO and not the VIDEO_TS.ifo needed by dvdshrink (or any other DVD ripper).

I don't know which one is needed for Kwag app.

Thanx Phil,i am going to start using file mode as it seems everything is geared towards it :D

You can read the IFO's directly from a DVD, without the need to rip.
As long as you read the VTS_0X_X.IFO file. (Usually the VTS_01_0.IFO, the first title)

Calcumatic 1.0.12 out!

( And still weights under 20KB ;) )

-kwag

Thanks for the great new version Karl CalcuMatic is getting better all the time. :)

Btw love the new preview feature. :D
