DVD2SVCD 1.2.2 build 1

  home - news

"DVD2SVCD is a completely automated frontend for converting DVD, PVA and AVI files to SVCD. By completely automated, I mean, you just select the file or dvd you want converted and hit GO, everything else is taken care of by the frontend."

• Bug fix: The "Calc. bitrate as max." checkbox in the video tab wasn't loaded from the inifiles.
• Bug fix: The "Use ReadAVS.dll" checkbox in the tmpgenc advanced settings tab wasn't saved/loaded from the inifiles. It was always unchecked.
• Bug fix: The "Azid gain offset" only supported numeric values (for instance 10db wouldn't be saved).
• New feature: I have added support for mplex + DVDAuthor + Spumux + MkIsoFs. That means you can make DVD's without Scenarist. Besides it's all freeware :) and it's actually more flexible than using Scenarist because you can avoid making an image if you want to.
• Change: I have tried to simplify the ini file structure. In DVD2SVCD.INI file the folder and program files are stored. So is what output type you want and the DVDRip settings + a few non essential but internal settings. All other settings is stored in DVD.INI, SVCD.INI or VCD.INI. Which INI is depended on the Output type selected in the Misc. tab.
• Fix: The templates for the latest CCE versions is now working too (But it's only working for the CCE version you installed last).
• Fix: Once again I M D B has made my life miserable and changed the way the search was working. Fixed.
• Enhancement: You can now select between internal audio extraction using my own routines, or use windows VFW routines to extract the audio.
• Enhancement: LanczosResize has been added to the default AVISYNTH.INI file and is now the default Resizer in DVD output.
• Enhancement: In the AVISYNTH.INI file I have added a new entry called [global] where you can change what source readers you want to use (mpegsource, avisource, directshowsource and so on). Look in the AVISYNTH.INI file to see the entries.
• Bug fix: Some of the AVI handling has been changed, hopefully to the better.
• Bug fix: The AVISynth settings is now saved in the output folder too, that means that you can use various Avisynth settings in each batch movie.
• Bug fix: The Progressbar in dvd2svcd could be slow when CCE encoding all depending on the CCE version, which in turn could make dvd2svcd stop on small encodes.
• Bug fix: Although you could change to another PGCI in the chapter listing, the internal PGCI would not be updated before the conversion was started. That meant that you could select an audio track which wasn't actually in the selected PGC and dvd2svcd would stop after the audio extraction.
• Bug fix: Even very small subtitles with very few pixels would be converted. Needless to say that a small dot in the middle of the movie is annoying.
• Enhancement: Added support for Scenarist 3.0, but be warned. I have had reports from some of my beta testers that Subtitles might be getting out of sync progressively. I think this is something in SC3.0 because SC 2.7 works fine with the exact same settings.
• Enhancement: D2SRoBa is now bundled. If you use CCE I recommend using D2SRoba, very cool and superb quality (Thanks Tylo)! This makes DVD2DVD as fast as other "One click DVD backup solutions", except that the quality is better.
