thanks tin2tin
export to DVD menus works fine. I was hoping to keep the slideshow in 1080p. The "can't allocate memory" issue persists.

I have had limited success with this 1080p slideshow. I changed each png file to an avs by clicking "Slideshow" "Edit avs". It can only be done 1 file at a time, so it was very time consuming, but it did export as a BR, and Hcenc did not crash. This is limited to 11 files, the 12th causes other memory errors.
You may want to look at the way the avs files are created pre processing.

If you can preview or export to ex. Avi then the probem is not related to the avisynth script. If you want to try converting the avs to video like mentioned above you could try to open the avs in notepad and tinker with the setmemorymax value. What transitions are you using?
-
I was using mirror down. I changed that to cut and I've got to 20 files so far.
what are the parameters for the
SetMemoryMax(Round(SetMemoryMax(0)*2))
line? just change the 2 to a larger number?
I notice the avisynth only uses one processor, can this be changed to use all 8? will this speed up the file creation?
thanks once again tin2tin. I didn't think I'd be hearing from you this weekend ............ -
You can just exchange the stuff inside the first () to a number. Can you preview okay? If you can then export as avs, change the setmemorymax value and load the avs file in winff.
Someone has been working on a multi thread version of avisynth. I dont think it is stable yet, but try to google it to dig up that version if you want to try it. -
On the memory allocation in HCenc the author of the program Hank says:

What background, pre and post effects are you using? -
Here on my ageing computer(Vista with 3GB RAM) I can get DSG to make a BluRay with 100 slides without problems(except for a very long render time ).
Do you have any other programs running which might interfer with Hcenc? Some time ago someone here on this forum who was playing a graphic intensive game while HCenc was rendering and that made it crash.
Does it also give an error when exporting to mp4? -
the only programs running when rendering is Firefox, and the windows services.
What is the native resolution are your slides? These are 1080p. -
Hmm... HCenc renders more than 10 slides with big photos here without any problems. Could you save a DVD slideshow GUI project file for me and either open it in Notepad and paste the contents into a PM for me or upload that file somewhere?
-
here is the project file ........
I found a new error, if I insert a small .avi clip just as the processing begins for BR this appears
I tried to track down samples, no luck. I have no idea what this error is referring to.
thanks -
I'm puzzled over that HCenc memory allocation error you're getting. I tried your file and it renders fine here on my old Vista computer. Are you using the DSG included Hcenc or a newer version?(As far as I remember the newer ones causes errors with DSG).

If your preview in DSG shows images and audio and not a text error - then it is not Avisynth script or DSG related, but a question on how HCenc works on your computer. Which I do not know much about since I not the coder of HCenc.
If you're aiming a making a BluRay from DSG you could try to export as mp4 and add that file manually to tsmuxer(I haven't tested it). The mp4 files are rendered with ffmpeg.

I'm using the included version of Hcenc. I'll try some of the other versions and see if anything changes. The png files I'm using are @ 1.7mb each. As a thought, do you think I should use TIF's instead? I still have the original files from the camera and chose PNG to keep the quality.

I'll post here when I've run further tests on Hcenc. -
Thanks. Has your previews been okay all along?
The best is to use jpg or pngs, however when DSG is preparing the slides it is scaling them to fit the ratio and save them lossless to hd. So when the final avs script is used the images are not bigger than whats needed and will not take up more RAM than needed.Last edited by tin2tin; 4th Sep 2012 at 08:24.

That's good news. Let me know if you encounter any problems with this version of HCenc. I encountered problems in the newer versions, but I can't remember what problems, back then I concluded that staying with the old (and for me) working version.
Does it preview okay in DSG?
And thank you for finding a solution. It is hard to solve things I can't reproduce. -
I may have found another kink. I created a slideshow with 30 png's. each set to run 300 frames. The resulting playlist should have 32 chapters (30 + start + end). The txt file created shows
00:00:00.000
00:00:12.596
00:00:25.192
00:00:37.788
00:00:50.384
00:01:02.980
00:01:15.576
00:01:28.172
00:01:40.767
00:01:53.363
00:02:05.959
00:02:18.555
00:02:31.151
00:02:43.747
00:02:56.343
00:03:08.939
00:03:21.535
00:03:34.131
00:03:46.727
00:03:5
the start and the first 18 chapters are correct. the 19th is truncated, and the rest omitted. the resulting BR will allow the next button to skip to the next picture up to #18, the rest just play to #30. What ever process that creates the chapters is not finishing.
I can add the chapters manually for the omitted pictures, but with a large project that would consume a lot of time.
Is it DVD Slideshow creating the chapters file? -
Make sure that you use Avisynth 2.6+ because 2.5.8 had a limitation of the length of strings which could result in a chapter-file like the one shown here. If you're using the latest Avisynth beta(better than 2.5.8), I'll have to investigate the chapter generation code, but unfortunately I'll be away from my computer the next four days.
-
FYI
I tried v 2.6, it stops at 30 chapter points. The older 2.5.6 and back behave the same as 2.5.7. -
actually you need 32 if you are to navigate with the next / previous buttons on a blu-ray, the extras are 00:00:00.000, and the time a the end of the file. without these 2 extra chapters, going back you will not get to the 1st chapter, and going forward the loop feature will quit.

Sorry - I can't figure out where to ask a simple question about DVD slideshow GUI: How do I rotate a slide/photo? Taken "sideways," I want to turn it 90 degrees to have the top up.
Thanks -
The simple way is to rotate the image before importing it in DSG. Right-click on the file and choose to rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise. In DSG the Slideshow > Animation can be used. The icon is a clapper board. Enter rotation 90 or -90 at the first frame and set a keyframe. Goto the last frame enter the same value again and set another keyframe.
