The HC currently in use by AVS is 0.28, whose changelog says that it requires a later version of Avisynth. Is that irrelevant for DVD RB's use of HC ? (If not, I'm not sure whether the Avisynth in the AVS program tree is automatically available to other programs ?)
[EDIT: just checked my RB folders, and it looks like I had switched / updated to HC 0.25 a few years back -- and then renamed it appropriately -- most likely in response to a similar suggestion from one of these threads. Is there sufficient reason to update this again ?]Last edited by Seeker47; 7th Aug 2017 at 13:52. Reason: (upon further inspection . . . )

I'm not understanding what you mean. I see the HCenc subfolder and the file "HCenc.ece"that is in it. I don't know what folder you want me to copy it to (and then change the name). Can you be more specific about what folder to copy it to? "the HCenc folder which Rebuilder uses" means nothing to me. I need the NAME of the folder or subfolder as I see no "Rebuilder" folder.

@Nicety1
this thing was a little OT, we were talking about DVD-Rebuilder for a while. No wonder we confused you...
For AVStoDVD you don't need to do anything, it already comes with the latest version of HCenc. The copying and renaming thing was only for upgrading HCenc in DVD-Rebuilder.

You should really compare the two versions yourself. If you have some use for the advanced features in the Pro version then you should definitely use the Pro version. I remember many years ago when I made this same recommendation at Doom9, I got a lot of flak from jdobbs himself... which is very understandable of course. He felt that I was cheating him out of some hard earned money.

The latest HCenc version from Dec. 2015 (may well be the final version) requires AviSynth 2.60. The current AVStoDVD versions also require this AviSynth version, so there is no conflict.
DVD-RB came with a much older version of AviSynth, but in my experience there are no problems using it with AviSynth 2.60. I have even been using it with AviSynth 2.61 alpha for a couple of months now without any issues.
So my recommendation is:
Use AviSynth 2.60 and HCenc 0.28 both in AVStoDVD and DVD-Rebuilder.
(I have no idea about using AVS+. Have not tried it myself and found no reports by someone else)
And I also recommend to upgrade older HCenc versions to the latest one. Hank did fix quite some bugs.

I'm a bit puzzled. SubtitleCreator requires .NET Framework 2.0. Win10 comes with .NET Framework 4.6 which *should* be retro-compliant with 2.0/3.0/3.5/4.x
Dave, are you sure that SC is crashing because of .NET Framework not installed? You can check the installed releases in the following reg key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP
Anyway, in the next A2D release, I will add .NET Framework release sanity check in Preferences > System > Software Info

The hard-encode option is working only if you select to hard-encode the FIRST subs tracks. Just select the FORCED srt as first track and the REGULAR srt as second track. Then toggle on the hard-encode option for the FIRST track.
The Edit Title > Subtitles section GUI is a bit messy, need some optimization for the next release.

Hi, I successfully installed everything but am unsure what I need to change in the BAT file to force the 2-pass at highest quality.
I edited the one line to SET Force 2-pass VBR=3, is there something more to alter in the BAT file to make it happen? In the interface the only ffmpeg option remains CBR 1-pass.
Danke in Voraus! -

I am not familiar with Win10, but in my experience it is not much different with earlier Windows versions...
.NET Framework 4.xx may be downwards compatible with versions 3 and 2. But if a .NET application requests an earlier version then it does not matter if v4.xx has all the necessary functions. The application will only run if an earlier version is installed.
So I think you will have to install version 3.5 for SubtitleCreator to work. I also read some complaints about issues installing it under Win10. But Microsoft officially endorses using this version under Win10, and the net is full of tips how to make it work. Shouldn't be all that hard...

It still seems to just make a single pass at a video.
Just to confirm:
1. The only thing I altered in the BAT was to change "SET Force 2-pass VBR=0"to "SET Force 2-pass VBR=3". Everything else is exactly as the file originally installed.
2. The video setting in the interface is set to "FFmpeg CBR-1 pass" with "Use FFmpeg High Quality settings" checked.
Here is the log of the video I tried:

Do you see anything amiss there? Thanks for the help. -
Your log looks fine (except for one unrelated thing...)
My plugin cannot change any log files which A2D writes. The only thing I could have done would be to write an additional VBR log file, but I was was too lazy to do this.
Before you do anything else you should check that the plugin installation is correct. I have attached an Explorer view of the AVStoDVD\FFmpeg folder after a correct installation of my plugin. Make sure that the file sizes in your folder are identical...
I also changed the batch file to show the current plugin mode in the FFmpeg title bar. Extract the batch file from the archive and copy it into the AVStoDVD\FFmpeg folder overwriting the older file.
The one problematic thing in your log file is that you are using Microsoft source filters for all audio sources. This is not good, you should set ALL Preferred DirectShow Codecs to LAV. See the "Preferred DirectShow Codecs" section in the A2D help.
Good luck

Thanks manolito for the comment on dotNET Framwork
I did some tests: SC definitively needs dotNET 2.0 to be installed. dotNET 3.x is not strictly required, but dotNET 3.5 redist package from M$ website does contain dotNET 2.0 and 3.0, so if a user has installed dotNET 3.5, than SC will work. Instead dotNET 4.x redist packages do not contain previous releases libraries.
dotNET 2.0/3.0/3.5 are automatically installed up to Win7. Starting from Win8, dotNET 4.x is present and previous releases have to be installed on demand.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework_version_history
I will definitively add a warning that dotNET 2.0 libraries must be present to run SC and manage authored subs.

MrC/manolito
thanks for the info, I may research a bit more in-depth some of the issues regarding installing this older release on Windows 10.
Alternatively, I could just reboot my PC and run Windows XP for these projects using subtitles
If I try it, I'll update the thread. Thanks -
Dave
update - I installed the component through Control Panel/Programs and Features/Turn Windows features on and off
It asked if I wanted to download the necessary files from Windows Update to which I replied in the affirmative.
Two minutes later it was done, reboot unnecessary. Perhaps all the earlier horror scenarios on the internet
have been resolved. AVStoDVD/SubtitleCreator working normallyLast edited by davexnet; 9th Aug 2017 at 14:53.

@MrC
It looks like the latest No-Install version of AVStoDVD comes with a broken SubtitleCreator folder...
Since I do not use subs I never noticed it, but after the recent discussion I tried using SubtitleCreator, but it would not run. Neither under WinXP nor under Win7-64bit. I finally solved it by downloading and installing the software, then copying the files into the A2D subfolder and adding the A2D profile XML.
Looks like some tilt bits to me. It is reproduceable, just download the No-Install version, extract the SubtitleCreator folder and run the EXE.
If you can confirm it, just tell me if I should upload the working SubtitleCreator folder...
//EDIT//
No, it's not tilt bits, it is your modified (empty) "Profiles.XML" file. As soon as I replace this file with the original file from the SubtitleCreator installation, the software works. Using your modified file causes the software to refuse to run.
//EDIT2//
It is not just the No-Install version, the install version shows the same problem. It works if I delete the modified (empty) "Profiles.XML" file and then rename the file "Profiles.A2D.XML" to "Profiles.XML". Will this work for A2D?
Cheers

@manolito
welcome to the golden unpredictable world of DVD subs...
You are bringing up an old SC issue.
When SC (GUI) is loading, it checks the presence of profiles.xml in .\SubtitleCreator\Data folder. If not present, SC crashes. If present, SC loads the subs profiles, where position and formatting info are stored. If there are no profiles in .\SubtitleCreator\Data\profiles.xml (like the file that comes with A2D), then SC looks for profiles.xml in %LOCALAPPDATA%\SubtitleCreator folder. If not present SC crashes, if present without profiles, SC crashes. If present with profiles, SC GUI finally pops up.
At runtime, A2D creates the profiles.xml file according to the user's sub settings in A2D. A2D is by default installed in %PROGRAMFILES%\AVStoDVD. In the WinXP age, everything was easier: A2D did overwrite profiles.xml into %PROGRAMFILES%\AVStoDVD\SubtitleCreator\Data folder and SC (CLI) was using that file in that location. Starting from Vista, if A2D is not running with elevated privileges, than A2D cannot write in %PROGRAMFILES%\AVStoDVD\SubtitleCreator\Data folder because it is protected. But it can write in %LOCALAPPDATA%\SubtitleCreator folder, of course.
Putting profiles.xml with no profiles in the .\SubtitleCreator\Data folder is a workaround, with the drawback you have encountered. However, if a user runs an A2D project with subs, then the %LOCALAPPDATA%\SubtitleCreator folder will be created and then the user will be able to open SC GUI. Instead you have never run an A2D project with subs...
I could add a section to the Installer package to create the %LOCALAPPDATA%\SubtitleCreator folder and copy the profiles.a2d.xml there, but anyway the issue will remain with the NoInstall package.
It works if I delete the modified (empty) "Profiles.XML" file and then rename the file "Profiles.A2D.XML" to "Profiles.XML". Will this work for A2D?

AVStoDVD release 2.8.7 Alpha 170810 is available
Changes log:
- Some bugs fixed
- Added support to WebM files (*.webm) as input files, subset of Matroska
- Added warning messages when AVC/AAC title is added and Microsoft DTV-DVD decoders are default codecs
- Added a warning message when input title has a DVD compliant audio track with delay, to force audio re-encode
- Added check of .NET Framework 2 presence in 'Preferences'/'System'/'Software Info'
- Revised video encoder smart selection rationale: no more HCenc VBR 1-pass for multicore CPUs
- Improved handling of "non-mod4" interlaced sources within the AviSynth script generation routine
- LAV Filters updated to release 0.70.2
It is an Alpha release, please advise if you get problems with the new (and old ) features.
Bye -
Thanks a lot for the explanation how SubtitleCreator works...
I know why I still prefer XP, the whole permissions thingy in later versions stinks (and it does not prevent malware from doing its things).
Will your workaround with the %LOCALAPPDATA% folder work under XP? I am asking because this environment variable is undefined under XP.
And many thanks for the new Alpha. Works nicely so far, and it did not break any of my plugins.
Cheers
manolito -
Here comes a new version of my plugin package for AVStoDVD:
Only the FFmpeg VBR plugin is affected. After MrC changed this in the latest Alpha:
Revised video encoder smart selection rationale: no more HCenc VBR 1-pass for multicore CPUs
Like for HCenc the different encoding modes are automatically selected depending on the video bitrate. The bitrate thresholds are stored in the Registry, and the ff_vbr plugin uses these values just like HCenc. It also uses the High Quality parameters which can be turned on under "Preferences".
The difference to HCenc is that there is an additional "Extreme High Quality" mode which only kicks in if the bitrate goes below the Extreme HQ threshold (can be edited in the batch file) AND the FFmpeg HQ mode is activated.
Of course these automatic mode decisions can be overturned by forcing certain encoding and HQ modes (can be turned on by editing the batch file).
All in all this makes the plugin behavior more consistent with the A2D behavior for HCenc so it is more powerful and also less confusing than it was before.
Another change is that the plugin mode is now shown in the title bar of the encoding window. This kind of makes up for the still missing separate VBR encoding log.

//EDIT//
