AVStoMPEG v10.2007.1223.2300 available!

Tue, 25 Dec 2007 17:52:18 GMT

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

The value for overlap frames will now be checked, before a Transition will be added to the Scenes List.
Preview dialog window: For some resolutions the preview dialog window size was not appropriate.
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...

Fri, 16 Nov 2007 01:13:06 GMT

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

new program icon
some small Bugfixes

A little Bugfix

Mon, 15 Oct 2007 22:10:18 GMT

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.

Update News

Tue, 10 Oct 2006 10:20:35 GMT

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.

Big Update is in sight!

Tue, 03 Oct 2006 12:57:25 GMT

I'm working on a big update:

New Filter versions supported: The next version will support HDRAGC v1.8.7, FFT3DFilter v1.9.1, FFT3DGPU v0.8.2.
Scene-Transition previews possible: Now it is possible to get a preview not only of one Scene but e.g. of two or more Scenes with Scene-Transitions!
But the best is: I made a Full Installer!!! So you will not have to search all the plugins you need anymore! Just run the Installer! It will do the rest for you!
and some little bugs are fixed now.

LimitedSharpen
-Script can be used by AVStoMPEG.
