Couple more questions
 

I hope I am not a bother by asking more questions. After your reply, I checked my versions of D2S and D2K plugin. I have the correct versions but I am still unable to get the correct resolutions in D2S. I enter the template I want to use in D2K, start D2S and the "resize to" shows a different resolution from what I selected. Do I need to check one of the editing tabs under "edit the frameserver script file" to get the correct resolution? Also after trying a few encodes with "use cqmatic" checked, my my files are coming up too small, usually around 730mb. I compared the used plugin cq value with a predicted cq value from the standalone cqmatic and the plugin value is much smaller. What do you think the problem may be? Thanks for the help and thanks for your time and effort with the plugin.

Re: Couple more questions
 

It seems like you use the old version of DVD2KVCD.
Install The latest version (DVD2KVCD 2.0.3).

PS: "Use CQmatic" has no function. I just placed it there, because I'll add it later. D2K 2.x.x has no "use CQmatic" option yet!

Enjoy :D

Boy don't I feel like a moron about the cqmatic thing. I downloaded the new DVD2KVCD. I hope this will fix my resolution problem. So should I leave "no editing" checked under the frameserver tab? Thanks again for the help and quick response!

I tried the new plugin and I believe I am still doing something wrong. I chose 704x480 template, started DVD2SVCD, chose no editing of avisynth, and it is showing resize to 720x480 and Tmpenc encodes at 720x480. What am I doing wrong?

No you don't do anything wrong. It's my fault :oops: The plugin shows 704x576, but it will be encoded at 720x576. I'll fix that soon. But I think 704x576 and 720x576 will be almost the same!

Azel, I finally figured that out late last night. That is the only template there is the problem. The script is still using the target instead of 704. All the other templates are fine. Just to let you know, the bitrates are coming up wrong still. The max and max avg are reversed on all except the 704 tempate. The 704 shows 2530 for max and 2500 for max avg. Anyway just letting you know. Thanks for the help and the program. It's awesome and has made my life much easier.

Too Dark
 

Okay, so now I have got it all fixed apart from the brightness / darkness. The results are quite dark.
I have read this post: http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic....ghlight=levels but it is not that helpful (or maybe I am not knowlegabel enough)
If I add the line Levels(0,1.3,255,0,255) do I add it to the dvd2svcd.ini file and if so where the hell do I add it?

jonallwright,
first take a look in this thread and in the link posted with pictures:

http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5153

in my opinion,the best place to use levels is in the end of the script,
after the resize and the filters.
the filesize don't encrease too much and will be faster to encode!
:wink:

No sorry still don't get it:

Does Levels go in the avisynth.ini file about here....
[AVISYNTH_MA script]
0=nf=0
1=GripCrop(^TargetWidth, ^TargetHeight+^BorderTop+^BorderBottom, overscan=^overscan, source_anamorphic=^source_ana, dest_anamorphic=^dest_ana)
2=GripSize(resizer="BiCubicResize")
3=Undot()
4=Asharp(1, 4)
5=STMedianFilter(^S_FilterThreshHold, ^S_EdgeThreshHold, 0, 0 )
6=MergeChroma(blur(^blur_chroma))
7=MergeLuma(blur(^blur_luma))
8=SwitchThreshold = (Width<=352) ? 4 : (Width<=480) ? 3 : 2
9=ScriptClip("nf = round(YDifferenceToNext())"+chr(13)+ "((nf >= SwitchThreshold) && (nf < ^scdtrigger)) ? unfilter(-(fmin(nf*2,100)),-(fmin(nf*2,100))) : TemporalCleaner(6+nf,11+nf) ")
10=GripBorders()
11=function fmin(int f1, int f2) { return (f1<f2) ? f1 : f2 }
12=function ConvertToYUY2(clip c){ return isYV12(c) ? c : convertToYV12(c) }
13=Levels(0,1.3,255,0,255)
^overscan=1
^source_ana=true
^dest_ana=false
^S_FilterThreshHold=8
^S_EdgeThreshHold=32
^blur_chroma=1.58
^blur_luma=0.1
^scdtrigger=30

or does is go somewhere in the dvd2svcd.ini at a place I haven't yet worked out

in the dvd2svcd.ini :!:
:wink:

now my doubt:
where you found avisynth.ini in your system :?:
:?

http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5984
There is a new file in version 1.2.1 b2

but i presume levels still goes into the dvdsvcd file rather than the avisynth.ini which contains the scripts

oh yes the new version.
i have but don't try yet,but i'm stup...i read about it and forgot!!

you're right!
:wink:

Can any one tell me why when I pick 704x480 on the d2k I always get 720x480 and it squishes full screen into wide screen?

The plugin has been working great for me up until now. Now when trying to start the program an error screen pops up saying "Autoit error, line 125, unable to run program. (Ensure that backslashes have been used properly)." What's going on?

Strange...
Which version are you using?
Does the message show some more info?
You can try to delete "...DVD2SVCDD2KAutGUI.exe". I'm not sure this will help but you can give it a try

@ jbirdg
I'll try to fix it... (oops I forgot it last time)
I choose 720x576 because the subtitles will work best at 720x576.

Thanks azel but it does 720x480. I was just wondering why not 704x480.
Is it a DVD2SVCD limitation?

Also it was the anamorphic setting that was squishing my output to wide screen. My source was not anamorphic but d2s thought it was.

Azel,
Tried to delete autogui.exe and still get the same error. Something about line 125 and making sure backslashes are used correctly. When opening the d2k folder and trying to run the autogui.exe it gives an error of incorrect parameters. I'm lost!

The reason why I choose 720x576 is because the subtitles will not be centered at 704x576.

@ magnus
The backslashes should be OK. Do you have use the latest version??


I also uploaded a new version of DVD2KVCD (v 2.0.5 beta):

-Added support for CQMatic.

CQMatic will give better prediction than DVD2SVCD internal prediction.
I've only tried CQMatic 1.2.02, and other versions may cause truble!

Enjoy! :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

I discovered a big problem :x :cry:
TMPGEnc won't close automaticly after encoding when using CQMatic... And the only way I can continue DVD2SVCD is to know when TMPGEnc is gone...

Well, if you still wanna use CQMatic, you have to close TMPGEnc manuelly after encoding. DVD2SVCD will continue in about 50 sec after you close TMPGEnc window

Hi azel,

Do you want a CQMatic version that will close after encode, just like in prediction :?:

Cool!!!

I downloaded the newest version and now I am getting a new autoit error.

line 1041:
runwait,c:\\program files\\dvd2svcd\\d2k\\autxtra.exe*clipboard

error:unable to run program, (ensure that backslashes \ have been used properly).

Any idea?

Thanks

I got the same thing.

I did notice in the project file it does show 704x480 now.

Your problem seems very strange to me... I've tried evereithing, but I never get any error. But I think I find the fault :D

I upload a new version, where I replace:
runwait,c:\\program files\\dvd2svcd\\d2k\\autxtra.exe*clipboard
with: runwait,"c:\\program files\\dvd2svcd\\d2k\\autxtra.exe" *clipboard

I'm not sure that I have changed all the commands, So check it, if it works, or get an other error on an other line, please post a reply.

What kind of OS do you use?
I run WinXP prof, and I have never seen those problems on my computer. This makes it harder to find the problem...
Did you say that you had used the plugin for a while before the problem came???

The new version is DVD2KVCD 2.0.5 Beta 2

I downloaded the new version. The program will now start but when clicking the "next" button on the initial screen it closes and does not move on to the next screen. By the way, I am using XP home.

Do you see any errormessage??

I found the errors. Uploading new version right now :wink:

I tried 2.05 beta3 and it starts up step 1 fine but when pressing "next" for step 2 it closes and never reopens. No error messages though.

I'm working to solve your problem, but you could try to instal DVD2SVCD into C:\DVD2SVCD, instead of C:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD.
Does this work?

Hi everybody,

I find then plugin absolutely great (thanks Kwag), I used to be a DVD2SVCD user but since KSVCD is greater ......

Yesterday, I've downloaded teh 2.05 beta version and overwritten my previous 2.03 version.

I don't really understand all (any !!) any the error messages but I got some with the 2.05 beta version.

The basic options suit me perfectly, does anyone know where I could download the 2.03 version again ?

Thank you in advance.

Changed the d2s folder to c:\ instead of c:\program files and everything works perfectly now. Burnout is even working now!

Spoke a little too soon. Plugin works fine except when using cqmatic. When using cqmatic an autoit error comes up after the audio is converted and tmpenc tries to start.

Thnaks! This will clear up things for me :D
I try to upload a new version today, and I hope this will work :)

Updated version!

DVD2KVCD 2.0.5 Beta 3b

-Fixed CQMatic bug.

If you got trubles or errormessages, try to install DVD2SVCD to C:\DVD2SVCD, not C:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD. Please report your results here!

Thanks advence

Thank you!!!!
Download latest version, DVD2KVCD 2.0.5 Beta 3c!!!

If this doesn't work, check if D2KCQMatic.exe is in DVD2SVCD's output folder.
