New YMPEG Video codec
 

I uploaded first release of YMPEG Video codec at

http://www.geocities.com/ymotiwala/ympeg.html

YMPEG Supports : MPEG-1, MPEG-2, VCD, SVCD

Special feature of YMPEG is that it can integrate itself with Windows and offers seamless encoding from your favorite applications. Thus
providing simplest way to encode without creating any intermediate
file or using frameserve.

As far as I know, currently YMPEG is only freeware MPEG codec to offer
this feature.

Special requirements: SSE Support

Sample instruction on using YMPEG with VirtualDub is give on website.

Hi yusuf,

Thanks :!: :D
Is there another mirror :?:
The current link says "exceeded its allocated data transfer" :?

Another Mirror
 

You are right. Now I moved setup from geocities so bandwidth problem should resolve partially. You can try it again.

Another sites from where you can download YMPEG are

Thanks yusuf.
This looks VERY VERY promising 8O
I just tested a small clip, encoded as MPEG-2, and it looks just great.
However, the bitrate peaks went up to ~17,000Kbps :D
I also tried VCD output, but the mpeg created has all kinds of "flickering".
I'll experiment some more with this :cool:

-kwag

Can you capture in VBR with the codec or set GOP or Matrix?

Please ignore the "flickering" ( My stupidity 8O )
It was my source :oops:

-kwag

I already PM'ed yusuf about it :cool:

-kwag

Very fast answer 8O .

When you can capture with all the setting. Isn't it good. :D

Yes :mrgreen:

-kwag

I cannot get Ympeg to install. It does not show up in Vdub and if I click in the settings dialog under video codecs I get a message that the driver is missing. Any help would be appreciated.

Yusuf, your project is moving pretty fast it looks promising, but I have a few favors to ask for you. One is can make a change log for you new releases also can you or someone else, help me with this error, It says "video Compression Error: The source image format is not acceptable". Does this mean that Ympeg can't decompress YUY12 format or is it something else. Lastly is there a way you can change the close GOP every frame.

The Programm looks very well to convert AVI fast to mpeg. And you can also use Filters of VDUB. But you can't change the Matrix I think and there aren'T one-pass VBR. :cry:

@yusuf:

This happens after running several encodes, without exiting Vdub.
Seems there's a memory leak somewhere in the CODEC.

It happens with all versions, tested up to 0.61

-kwag

Of course there is one pass VBR :!:
Look at the MIN, AVG, MAX field :!:
They just don't work correctly, yet.

-kwag

Has you testet it yet?
Or the whole codec. Is that good quality?

Quality is excelent, and I dare to say that it's superior to TMPEG and CCE ( put together 8O )
But it bombs in the middle of encoding, almost every time. So it's very inconsistent.
When yusuf irons these bugs out, I don't think we'll need CQMatic any more, because if the CODEC follows the average, min and max parameters, we won't need prediction. CalcuMatic will be enough :cool:
The small clips I've been able to encode, surpass by far TMPEG's motion estimation. Both in MPEG-1 and MPEG-2.
We'll see when this is ready for prime time. I can't wait :mrgreen:

This Is Great News!! I can't wait till it gets stable! Keep up the great work yusuf!!

Well, I don' know. It is very good to have such a codec, of course, but I'm afraid kwag should close the very interesting forum "File size prediction and related stuff" :D . So, no more testing about file size prediction :cry: .

Any chance to use AviSynth Scripts together with YMPEG? Or just VDub internal filters? :roll:

Of course :D
Just open your favorite .avs script with Vdub, and encode with YMPEG :!:
