Re: Calcumatic 1.0.12 out!
 

Okay, I can accept it to go till 25KB if you integrate a good (and fast) mpeg2 encoder to it :-D

Re: What the hell...
 

PURRRRRRRRRRRR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mrrrr prrrrr!!

I take it it need the origin vts_01.ifo file, not the movie ifo file (I'm getting a size of minus 40000 - :lol: :lol: ).

Not a problem.

Thanks Kwag - it's brilliant (I like the preview too, very nice). This is in PowerBasic I take it? Sounds like fun!
Most of the basics I've played with are geared to games, not apps.. Liberty, XBasic, DarkBasic and Blitz (tried them all, to small degrees.)

HI is anything needed special for the new version,when i hit preview i get the box to open and hear the audio but can't see no video,tried different sources

I also don't understand reading the ifo

I popped the dvd in went to video folder and picked the first ifo and also got -4000( i went through all 19 to be sure and they all were under 2 minutes except the alst one which was also -4000)

I know i am doing something wrong but can't seem to get it :evil:

Re: What the hell...
 

Exactly. You need the original vts_01.ifo file :) No No :!:
It's PureBasic. Not Powerbasic :D PureBasic is also geared at developing games, or anything!, because the output is optimized assembly language. That's why it's so fast and so space efficient. Just like if you had coded it in assembler. As a matter of fact, you can even hand optimize the assembly output if you want, before compiling to machine code. But that's an extreme case (if you really need it) ;)

Re: Calcumatic 1.0.12 out!
 

:lol:

After you click "Preview" and the box opens, when you hear the audio, if you move the box can you see video :?:
This happened to me last night, and it might be a problem with DirectX. When I moved the box the video appeared. I'll look into that. Maybe I'm doing something wrong :lol:
What DVD is that :?:

-kwag

;)

Hi Karl thanx for the reply and if i move the box then the video does appear :D ,didn't think to try that

Its Scary Movie

edit-Just tried a different dvd(Spy Kids) and it worked so maybe its that some dvd's it won't work with.

Don't know if its anything to do with it but the Scary Movie has computer stuff on it,what i mean is with spykids it only has 2 folders(audio and video) but with Scary Movie it has 6 folders

Thanks for the update with the svcd mux calculation... Haven't tried it yet but I will...

Perhaps you can add mini-DVD-Rs. :)

Like here:

Mini-DVD-R = 1,47 GB

Mini-DVD-Ram = 2.92 GB

Thanky you!

Perhaps :cool:
Go get 1.0.13a :lol:

Kwag,
i'm still getting negative values from .ifo files:
minutes -4800
seconds -79
and all numbers in "results" are negatives too.

loading the .d2v from the same vobs source i get:
minutes 76
seconds 36
of course all numbers in "results" are rights!

doubts:
how the "preview" work? no matter the source choosed i get:
error,
can't load the movie... :?

thanks!

Your're realy a workerholic. Great kwag. :wink:

I'll fix that a little later. I'm adding some stuff right now :)You can only preview AVI or MPG files.
If you open a IFO, the source is really a VOB, and I can't preview that (at this time).

-kwag

CalcuMatic 1.1.0 is out!
 

Fixed: Movie preview wouldn't display until screen was moved.
Added: Animated spinner on "Preview" button, indicating that preview playback screen in active.
Added: IMDB (Internet Movie Database) quick movie search browser.
Just type your favorite movie title, and a pop-up web browser will immediately display all matching titles.
From there, just copy&paste movie time into "Minutes" field of CalcuMatic.
Note: The idea is for a future version to automatically pick the movie runtime, and automatically fill in the minutes field ;)
Added: Animated spinner on "IMDB" button, indicating that IMDB search screen in active.

The IMDB feature is awesome I think its excelent the way you intergrated the little mini browser into Calcumatic. :D

:rotf:

hello again guys :)

i have a couple of quick quezzies about calcumatic if you will humour me :)

1. can it be used with QuEnc or FreeEnc? if so.....what do i put down for max bitrate so i can make 1cd conversions? or will it make a difference on final video size?

2. calcumatic gives me 2 average bitrate values.....one of them has 0.57*Average in front of it......what is this one for and why or how would i use this?

thanks, and i appologise if the are dumb questions :)

cheers
KYUSS

HI KYUSS

i don't know the answer to your first question but this

Is used for the minimum bitrate in Tmpge

What are you speaking about ? Calcumatic ? It can be used for any tool that need to know an average bitrate (i.e, even if it works in 2pass).
And min and max don't have any importance there.

thanks guys

CalcuMatic 1.1.10 is out!
 

Hi All!,

New: Supports up to 4 different audio bitrates, so when authoring (K)DVDs, you can calculate each track with different bitrates.
(Thanks to rds_correia for the idea ;) )
Link always available on the first post of this thread.

:bowdown:
As I've already said before, Karl u da man.
A few hours latter I post the request and you already have a release candidate...
:bowdown:
I just can't thank you enough.
I'll post any bugs in the original thread ;-)
Cheers

Hi Kwag,
I use the latest version of neuron2's dgindex (an update/bugfix to dvd2avi).
When I try to open a d2v file created by dgindex using calcumatic, I get an error:
File is not a valid DVD2AVI project file!

Could you try to support this changed format?

Best regards.

There is no realk need to open the d2v with calcumatic : this is necessary only to retrieve the length (in minutes) of the source, but you can enter it manually !

Of course, you are right, it's a good enough workaround. The reason I posted this was that I usually open the d2v - it's my usual behaviour!
I found an earlier version of calcumatic which did read it, strange.

I'll look into that ;)

-kwag

I'm in panic.
If the thread was 42 pages and now it's only 38, which posts are not visible?
Were those erased?
Or is it just showing more posts per page and they're all there?
Cheers

Exactly :)

Versions updated. Top of thread.

Linearity
 

I just ran a quick prediction test with the latest CQMatic, and with the new TMPGEnc Plus version ( 2.524.63.181 )
CQMatic hit CQ value on the second cycle :!:
Coincidence :?: Or did Pegasys-inc fixed CQ linearity on the encoder :?:


If anyone can make a test, please let me know.

Thanks,
-kwag
