Today, I decided to give you a Xmas present:-) I uploaded a new version of AVStoMPEG. This time you need to update your Avisynth Plugins, because support of MCBob (NNEDI version) has been added. The download links are below.

Here is the changelog:

New

• Support for Avisynth script MCBob (unofficial "NNEDI" version) added (tab Deinterlacers on tab Filter Chain).
• Support for Avisynth function SetMemoryMax added (tab Miscellaneous on tab Filter Chain).
• New option use SetMemoryMax for Transitions added to tab Project.

Version updates

• SoundOut version set to v1.1.1
• Deblock version set to 1.4.9
• HistogramAdjust version set to vDec.5.2007
• Note: If you saved a Preset with old versions of these Plugins, the settings of those Plugins won't be loaded. If you really need these settings, you can edit the ini-file that belongs to the Preset (or assigned Filter Chain). The ini-file for Presets are in the project's subdirectory "Presets" and have a name of the form "Presetname.ini". You can find the filename of an ini-file for an assigned Filter Chain in the project's ini file. In this file there are Sections for every Scene and Transition of the form "Scene_xx". These Sections contain an entry Filename_Index. The ini-file of the Filter Chain you are looking for has the form: "Projectname_Filename_Index.ini". Open the ini-file and search the Section of the Plugin (Deblock or HistogramAdjust). This Section contains an entry "Version". Set the version number to the number above. The version number of SoundOut is located in the project's ini-file, because it is a Project option.

Miscellaneous

Scenes List and Filter Chain Presets

• New entry to context menu added: View Avisynth Script

Preview Dialog Windows

• New entry to context menu added: Save Screenshot
• New Save Screenshot dialog window added with the option to set a filename for the screenshot.

Load Project

• If a project to load has a wrong version number, the user can decide to continue the loading process or to cancel it.

New Project

• When creating a new project, a Project Filter Chain Preset with name Source will be added.
• This Preset contains no filters. It is just to compare other Presets with the source video.

Other

• The program icon has been added to all dialog windows.
• SangNom: checkbox Interlaced in the groupbox Color Conversion after SangNom has been removed.
• Avisynth Script Viewer dialog window is bigger now.

Bugfixes

• SSIM: Avisynth script syntax
• UserDefined1, UserDefined2: If UserDefined1 or UserDefined2 had more than 10 lines to load, the line order were messed up.
• Some other fixes...

Today, I uploaded a new version of AVStoMPEG. Because only the exe file has been changed, I decided to build an update setup file, too. If you have at least v10.2007.1011.1400 installed on your system, it is sufficient for you to download and install the update setup file. The AVStoMPEG Guide has been updated, too.

Changes:

• Preview Global/Project Filter Chain Presets without comparison (click one of the two new buttons in the toolbar of the main window)
• New filter category: FPS Conversions
• New filters added to Tab FPS Conversions: AssumeFPS, AssumeScaledFPS, ConvertFPS, ChangeFPS
• Avisynth Script Viewer can be started from the context menu in the Global/Project Filter Chain Presets lists
• Avisynth Script Viewer contains now a button to export the shown script to file
• new program icon
• some small Bugfixes

On Wednesday I received an e-mail from Softpedia. They had tested AVStoMPEG and found that it is: "...absolutely clean, therefore it can be installed with no concern by any computer user". Read the details at http://www.softpedia.com/progClean/AVStoMPEG-Clean-80675.html.

I discovered a small bug. When you overwrite a (Global- or Project-) Filter Chain Preset, the source parameters are saved in the preset ini file, too. This can cause problems, when these presets are applied to another source file. I fixed this bug and uploaded the new version.

In the new version of the guide, the installation process is described more in detail. Beside this, I added a table of in teresting web addresses to the appendix. The new guide is also integrated in the new setup file. The newest download links are:

After providing the new guide as a pdf file, I decided to upload it. Check it out at AVStoMPEG Guide. If you like AVStoMPEG, please consider a small donation. This will encouage me to continue the development of this software.

Finally I finished the AVStoMPEG Guide. I compiled and uploaded a new setup file, which contains the guide as a pdf file. Additionally, I uploaded the guide separately. If you already downloaded the setup, you might want to download only the guide.

I found a few stupid bugs in the Reform and the Crop/AddBorders Preview. After I fixed them I decided to release this new version without these bugs.

After I killed a few more bugs and did some more updates I finally managed it to upload the two setup programs. Keep in mind that AVStoMPEG is still Beta!

You can download them here:

http://rapidshare.com/files/444161/Avisynth_Plugins_for_AVStoMPEG_v8.2006.1021.2330_Setup.exe.html

The main setup contains:

• AVStoMPEG v8.2006.1021.2330
• HC-Encoder v0.19.1 (deselectable)
• DGIndex v1.4.8 (deselectable)
• CCEFront v1.0RC3 (deselectable)
• Avisynth v2.5.6a (deselectable)
• Helix YUV-Codecs v1.2 (deselectable)

The Avisynth Plugin setup contains all Plugins supported by AVStoMPEG. For details see the screenshots below.

The system requirements are:

• Microsoft .Net Framework v2.0
• Microsoft DirectX v9.0c with October 2006 Updates
• optional: Cinemacraft Encoder SP v2.70.02.00 (trial version tested)

AVStoMPEG is now up-to-date! Finally I made two simple Setup routines. One for the main program and one for all the supported Avisynth Plugins. The Setup for the main program includes the supporting applications Avisynth, DGIndex, CCE Front, Helix YUV Codecs and HC Encoder. You can select or deselect these additional programs if you already installed them earlier or if you won't need them. The Setup for the supported Avisynth Plugins is even more simple! You only have to tell it where your Avisynth Plugins folder is. Some plugins have different versions for different processors. You can easily select which version you want to install.
