    Hi.

    As far as I can see you have FFmpeg at the right place.
    I've installed at "G:\program files\avanti\ffmpeg" to see if there's a path problem but it works fine.
    But that is running under Windows 2000. I assume you're running Vista but it seems to work fine with it.

    Only thing I can imagine by now, is the version you use. Try the latest from here http://tripp.arrozcru.com
    If that doesn't help, perhaps another Vista user can give a hint?

    EDIT: Sorry! Just read in your first post you use that already.

    Chris.

    Thanks Chris K. I have just moved the entire Avanti folder to c:\ Program Files and it is now working. Don't know why, but at least I can now move on to puzzling out how Avanti works. Regards.

    Ah...! Still a path problem but only for Vista it seems.
    To be sure. I've also installed in XP at the same path but this also works running Avanti-GUI.exe both
    directly from the install directory and from a desktop shortcut (which gave problems in the past).

    If you have other questions or comments, feel free to post them.

    Chris.

    This is a great tool. I"m using it for mkv -> xvid conversion to play on the xbox 360.

    One small bug is that the ffmpeg/user PAR input box in the CSP Remote Calculator won't accept a decimal point, so I can't enter non-standard settings like 2.402, or standard ones like 1.33. The popup error is "Unacceptable character: you can only type a number here." The OS is Vista Home Basic.

    Hi,

    Good catch... thanks!

    Will be fixed in the next version (coming soon).
    About the pop-up error. I assume this is a Vista specific feature ?
    Avanti itself has no error reporting for it.

    Can you give some more details.

    The internal preview is a MCI player which acts almost the same as WMP (using installed DirectShow codecs).
    Doesn't it show up when you press one of the preview buttons?

    Chris.

  11. It initially didnt show up (respond) so I specified another player (currently GOM) and its now working but I dont know how to put it back on MCI to check the problems I had ( if I still would have them as in the mean time more items have been installed and setup on my pc)

    Go to the "Preferences" where you changed the path to the GOM player and type "Internal" in the "Video Player" field.

    That's all...

    I suppose you mean DV(29.97) source to mpeg4 or perhaps h264 in mp4 container destination.
    Problem for me (PAL) is that I have to force it by creating a DV 29.97 source myself and then convert.
    Note that for FFmpeg you set the -t parameter in seconds but for Avanti in minutes.
    So 30 secs will be 0.5 in the "limit encode duration" field.

    Hi to all,

    For those who didn't noticed yet. There's a new version of Avanti available (0.2.8).

    Besides bug fixes, there's a lot of attention this time for the Avisynth USER mode with
    additions to be of help with e.g. framecount (m2v sources) and for preview of scripts.

    I also added a new dedicated chapter for the Avisynth editor to the context help
    (press <F1> when you're at the editor).

    Cheers,
    Chris.

    i don;t have a lengthy ntsc dv sample either
    but i concatenated a 10 sec clip a few times and then took it into avanti
    -> x264 in avi, limit to 30 sec.

    worked fine

  18. can always provide you some NTSC footage

    So 30 secs will be 0.5 in the "limit encode duration" field
    oh!

    is your calculation based on framerates ? ( inside the gui)

    No! It's actually only the insertion of the FFmpeg -t command which expects seconds.
    The calculation by Avanti is simply "Limit encode duration" value * 60, so 0.5*60 = 30 secs.
    It is done to make it easier for the user. e.g. if you want to encode ten minutes you now
    enter 10 else you would have to enter 600.

    The duration FFmpeg encodes with the -t command is independent of the framerate you set.

    Yeah! the option was actually added to encode short test clips at the time FFmpeg versions
    didn't had the "Press [q] to stop encoding" option.
    At that time, if you canceled a process, the resulting clip was invalid (couldn't be played).
    For that purpose whole minutes were adequate.

    I understand the confusion and would have been it probably better explaned by saying:
    "Limit encode duration" is given in minutes and decimal fractions of minutes. Not in
    minutes and seconds.

    .
    New FFmpeg Win32 build SVN-r15394 available.

    http://tripp.arrozcru.com


    This is (probably) the first Win32 build that appears with a few permanent
    command syntax changes in the FFmpeg source code.

    Using this (and future) FFmpeg versions has some consequences for the use
    with Avanti and requires a template update.

    You can read more about it and download a template update zip at:

    http://avanti.arrozcru.com/tpl_upd.htm

    Thanks 45tripp for all the work and time you've put in it,

    Chris.

    Thanks Chris and 45tripp for the new Avanti/ffmpeg versions.

    Usually i added subs via vsfilter+avisynth now its easier.

    Im out of words on how to thank you for providing Avanti for free, as soon as i can i will be donating, never done it before but you guys deserve it.

    Thank you and keep up the good work!
    I love it when a plan comes together!

    Hi Ricardo,

    In general I don't need subtitles but I had a lot of fun playing around with the option.
    By setting alignment to center/mid and choosing a larger fancy font and text and shadow colors,
    I could create nice looking credits to add at the end of a personal DV movie.

    Also testing language support was fun. Downloaded some subs in foreign languages
    and used the standard Arial font which supports a lot of them already.

    Nice to know you can make it useful.

    Cheers,
    Chris.

    Hi Chris

    Thanks for the new version.

    Using the new version and the latest ffmpeg from Tripp caused Avanti to crash when openinga video, also after i close it the process "avanti" is still running in the background.

    this is what happened:

    Hi Ricardo,

    What happens when you use Tripp's version SVN-r15625.
    I had some crash problems with 15815 but only when loading raw h264.
    I assumed it was the AMD Athlon problem again on which x264 suffered a while ago.
    I use 15815 since it's released under W2K and XP and didn't found other problems.

    Chris.

    I did some new tests with SVN-r15815 and found that also h264 in mp4 crashes on my system (Athlon).
    I think it's a 15815 decode problem cause the mp4 which I encoded with 15815 opens without any problems
    in 15625 and shows the right properties.

    I think reverting to 15625 will also for you solve the problem.

    Do i replace the folder "ffpresets" by the one that is supplied with the latest ffmpeg(i did that)?
    The "libx264-fastfirstpass.ffpreset" preset that is in the 0.3.0 package has a small modification.
    It is used in a example template. You can keep the extra FFmpeg presets there but I advice to copy
    "libx264-fastfirstpass.ffpreset" which is in the Avanti zip package back to the "ffpresets" folder.

    Thanks for the tips Chris it works, i thought about using an older ffmpeg version but since its very rare for Avanti to give me an error i thought it could be my system but since yours shows the error aswell....

    Just one more small question, since version 0.2.9 Avanti has problems previewing clips with its internal player, i can only see something if i right click on the window and selet maximize,

    i went to the program settings and switched the player to media player classic, any advice on how to reactivate the internal player?
    I love it when a plan comes together!
