Hi to all,
AVANTI 0.2.6 - FFmpeg/Avisynth GUI (June 2008 release) available.
This version has the following changes:
..1.. Improved user tools for complex command line arguments.
..2.. Improved and enhanced the "advanced database manager".
..3.. Updated codecs/formats database for latest FFmpeg versions.
..4.. Adapted database to decode ogg theora (ogg, ogm extensions).
..5.. Added ogg theora templates for encoding.
..6.. Fixed bug in version overwrite option (database not preserved).
..7.. Fixed bug in "Preferences" (some were not updated immediately).
..8.. Updated chm help for renewed database manager.
You can read more and download Avanti 0.2.6 here at
https://forum.videohelp.com/topic343287.html
Mainly a version of bug fixes and maintenance to be up-to-date
before the summer break.
The codecs/formats database wasn't updated for a long time
but now contains additions from the latest FFmpeg versions.
If you use the "overwrite" option to upgrade a older version,
also read the help chapter of the "Advanced database manager".
In case of questions or major bug reports (or bad wheather),
I'll be around for support and/or a revision.
Chris.

Avanti 0.2.6 revision 1 available.
https://forum.videohelp.com/topic343287.html
Occasionally new FFmpeg versions have changes that are not foreseen and
this requires the release of a revision to keep Avanti compatible.
The latest known Windows builds by Ramiro Polla (SVN-r13242) and Sherpya
(Sherpya-r13537) appear to have revised documentation embedded.
The codecs list in this versions now includes comments (like the formats list
already did) and the current Avanti version isn't prepared for that. Reading the
list into the "Advanced database manager" fails and needs some adapting.
I also found that muxing with FFmpeg is still tricky and have my doubts about
m2v/ac3 and m2v/mp2 (AVI muxing does fine for me). The automatic insertion
of the "-genpts 1" command for m2v is removed to allow some source dependent
experiments on the command line with the -genpts and -copyts commands.
Because these builds perform very well and seems to have (almost) all former
codec problems fixed (Sherpya build still has a broken x264), I decided to
release Avanti 0.2.6 revision 1 which is adapted for using these versions.
If you already installed version 0.2.6, you only need to replace the
"Avanti-GUI.exe" executable. This will preserve your current settings.
Note: I use revisions when changes only concern bug fixes and/or adaptions.
The documentation in Avanti packages is highly related to the specific
version and since there are no new features added, it would give me a lot
of extra (needless) work to change it all.

just registered and thanks for the help so far. i'm using this to get xvids on my ps3. works great till i need to "force avisynth". dunno how to do that and can't find it in avanti.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. i've got ffmpeg/avisynth/avanti installed and it works great till i hit a few xvids that are i guess encoded or something wrong.
thanks.. -

It will only work if you have DirectShow codecs on your system that can play the broken (?) or uncommon xvids.
Chris. -
thanks a bunch Chris K.
it still dies on me, guess the xvid is encoded weird. funny though that it's in a series and the few before it work fine.
you guys have any tips if an xvid won't encode right? these are all dbz episodes. i assume they're all the same but i guess not. -
Hi Chris!
I've been trying to mux an mp3+png into a flv file and Avanti so far has worked but it reconverts the mp3 files, is there any way to bypass the mp3 conversion, just mux mp3+png.
I tried using ffmpeg and mencoder but the final flv is twice as big, with fmpeg and mencoder (160k mp3 +png) results in a 14mg file, the original sources are less than 7mg
With Avanti the final size is 7mg but mp3 gets reconverted, can you help? Im using some scripts 45Tripp posted on another thread
ffmpeg:
Code:ffmpeg -loop_input -f image2 -i video.png -r 1 -vcodec flv -i audio.mp3 -acodec copy -qscale 2 -g 5 -cmp 3 -subcmp 3 -mbd 2 -flags trell temp.avi -shortest ffmpeg -i temp.avi -vcodec copy -acodec copy video.flv
Mencoder:
Code:mencoder mf://video.png -mf fps=1/388:type=png -audiofile audio.mp3 -ovc lavc -oac copy -vf harddup -lavcopts vcodec=flv:vqscale=2:keyint=5 -ofps 1 -of lavf -o final.flv
Avanti:
If i choose "mux audio" it tells me to "Please load UNI_MUX_SETUP template to set MUX environment.", i load that template, choose settings but aerror message appears:
ThanksI love it when a plan comes together! -
well frifox wanted the best quality.
if you want you can set them so as not to use cq encoding,
also the ffmpeg command can be done in one now:
Code:ffmpeg -loop_input -f image2 -i video.png -r 1 -vcodec flv -i audio.mp3 -acodec copy -b 50k -g 5 -cmp 3 -subcmp 3 -mbd 2 -flags trell video.flv -shortest
Code:mencoder mf://video.png -mf fps=1/388:type=png -audiofile audio.mp3 -ovc lavc -oac copy -vf harddup -lavcopts vcodec=flv:vbitrate=50:keyint=5 -ofps 1 -of lavf -o final.flv
for avanti,
i think i once made a 'copy' codec in the database.
i think i keep forgetting to ask Chris for a 'stream copy' option as i'm still waiting
on ffmpeg ogm remux to be fixed.
one way of doing it is to use the -new function,
in the video options at the beginning add this:
Code:-new -i "@source1" -i "@source2" -dvs -acodec copy
Code:-y "@destin1"
tripp"I'll give you five dollars if you let me throw a rock at you" -
Hi Ricardo,
I've tried this variant on the -new suggestion by Tripp and it worked (with some restrictions):
Code:-new -loop_input -i "@source1" -i "@source2" -dvs -acodec copy -shortest -y "@destin1"
All audio settings are ingnored anyway with -acodec copy on the command line.
You won't get progression display.
Just wait patiently for the "Process successfully finished after ..... hms" message.
I tried with a mp3 of 938.7 kb and the final flv became 1,4 mb.
Chris. -
Hi 45tripp
Thanks for the scripts, it works.
Chris and Tripp adding that bit at the beggining/ end, without or without quotes doesnt work, this is the code that appears, can you show me where to add it?
Code:-g 160 -cmp 3 -subcmp 3 -mbd 2 -flags aic+cbp+mv0+mv4+trell -sws_flags lanczos
Code:ffmpeg mencoder avanti General #0 File size : 10.4 MiB : 10.8 MiB : 7.67 MiB PlayTime : 6mn 28s : 6mn 28s : 6mn 28s Bit rate : 224 Kbps : 234 Kbps : 166 Kbps
I love it when a plan comes together! -
This is the complete command line with the hq tweaking included:
Code:-new -loop_input -i "@source1" -i "@source2" -dvs -g 160 -cmp 3 -subcmp 3 -mbd 2 -flags aic+cbp+mv0+mv4+trell -sws_flags lanczos -acodec copy -shortest -y "@destin1"
uni_flash_hq_mod.7z -
the diff is what Chris added to the commandline:
Code:-loop_input
Code:-shortest
without you sorta a get a bastard single frame matched to the audio, can;t seek the single frame.
take it as a reserved bonus, no re-encode but with no seeking.
tripp"I'll give you five dollars if you let me throw a rock at you" -
Thanks Chris and 45Tripp for the explanations and "fix".
I love it when a plan comes together! -
Never mind, I just loaded the template and registered the codec, and created my first FLV. Pardon my ignorance
-
Well I've been messing with the modded template and if I set it to 20fps, the picture becomes blurry after ten seconds and progressively so until the end of the song. But when set to 10fps it appears to retain the original picture quality to the end, although it does become slightly muddy. Any idea why this is? The source picture is JPEG btw.
-
well it's a moot point, because 1fps is more than enough for a single frame.
but if you insist...
left bitrate at 50k?
you'll have to increase it substantially.
or use qscale encoding.
tripp"I'll give you five dollars if you let me throw a rock at you" -
Well the reason I don't use 1fps is because the resulting videos don't seek.. is there a way around this at 1fps?
Yeah I left it at 50K so I will up it, thanks -
ok, i'd not spotted it in the commandline,
replace
Code:-g 160
Code:-g 1
and resave the template
tripp"I'll give you five dollars if you let me throw a rock at you" -
Hey I just tried this but the overall bitrate won't get past 400K no matter how high i set the video bitrate. I'm using flash_hq_mod. I've added -g 1. How can I increase the video bitrate substantially?
-
what ever for?
you don't.
-qscale 1 is as far as you can go with flash
insisting, you can increase framerate, resolution
that'll increase where you can fgo to.
tripp"I'll give you five dollars if you let me throw a rock at you" -
Hi everyone. I apologize if this is in the wrong place, but I have some questions.
First, what is the best video scale algorithm for downsizing videos? Second, is there a tutorial for using the VBR feature? What are the best values to enter there in order to optimize the file size, say for a 5 minute video at 750 kb/s?
Also, is Avanti still being developed? -

some say one better for up and another for down, and the inverse,
some like a simple bicubic for down, i don't like the softness.
try them out.
pick one

import the vob. press F5, check "video type" anything with film over 95% means you can 'force film'.
'video'->'field operatin'->'forced film'
press F4 to save project.
you'll get a .d2v file.
install avisynth if you havent already.
open a txt editor (notepad)
dgindex came with DGDecode.dll, place it somewhere convenient, or note it's path.
in the text write:
Code:LoadPlugin("path\DGDecode.dll") MPEG2Source("moviename.d2v")
now treat 'movie.avs' as your movie.
i'e drag it into Avanti's input.
for flv, the hq flash template in Avanti is as good as it gets.
just change bitrate and resolution
that's sorenson spark,
i've not really been following the later testing on youtube,
https://forum.videohelp.com/topic336882.html
but i see success in putting h264 up.
There aren't ready good templates for that in Avanti.
but you can make one.

I've got a question conerning interlaced mpeg4(XViD)-material:
I've got some files which are interlaced (AviSynth-Test shows "TFF"), but reported progressive in apps like MPEG4Modifier and which don't play well on my standalone.
Seems the device reads the flag and presumes progressive content; esp. annoying when I want to jump back/forth or ffwd, etc.
So on doom9's forum I already learned that I would have to re-encode the files.
I tried AVANTI for that job, and the outcome is really fine - so first I want to say: Thank you, Chris K!!
But the files again are interlaced (I'd like to keep them that way - I de-activated "Deinterlace" in AVANTI), and again are reported as being "progressive".
Is this an option I would have to add in the commandline for ffmpeg? And if so, how would I do it?
Thanks for any help! -
