Build 23174 (1.6.4, experimental): [February 12, 2005]
[features added]
* Capture: Added support for detecting and correcting discrepancies in
the video time base. This can reduce frame drops if the incoming frame
rate is unexpectedly and regularly too high or too low.
* Capture: Added command-line support.
* Capture: Timing settings are now saved.
* Capture: Stop conditions can now be modified during capture.
* Capture: Luma squish can now be separately enabled for the black and
white ends of the luma spectrum.
* Capture: Luma squish now works with planar YCbCr formats.
* Capture: Frame timing is now exportable as a comma-separated-value file
for analysis.
* Added an option to reopen the input file while preserving the edit
list.
[workarounds]
* Added detection of video codecs that improperly modify their input
framebuffer during compression.
[bugs fixed]
* Capture: Audio devices were appearing on the wrong menu.
* Capture: Settings dialog sometimes didn't allow OK to be pressed due to
validating hidden settings.
* Capture: Exiting the crop dialog caused device settings to reset.
* Capture: Fixed time wrap at 35min with the DirectShow driver.
* Capture: Fixed crash when using filter chains where the input and
output of the chain have different frame sizes.
* Capture: Added workaround for freezing with SAA713x-based capture
devices -- the system clock is always used for the reference clock
rather than any capture filter clock.
* Capture: A warning is now appropriately displayed when VirtualDub
cannot analyze incoming video (preview acceleration, live filter
preview).
* Fixed massive slowdown in hex editor when scanning RIFF tree for an AVI
file with a lot of video frames.
* Fixed bug with the "last frame" facility in the video filter system that
was causing the motion blur filter to fail if it was first and another
filter followed it.
* Fixed intermittent crash under Windows 98 when repainting draggable video
frame.
* Fixed path handling around UNC network shares and Windows 2000/XP volume
mount points, which could sometimes result in incorrect 4GB FAT errors.
* Fixed some cases where the mask/unmask code didn't mask the right frames.
* PNG decoder failed if the compressed data contained a stored chunk.
* PNG decoder crashed if an error occurred during decoding.
* Fixed GDI handle leak.
* Display panes did not react properly to the mouse cursor when positioned
over a secondary monitor with a negative position.
[regressions fixed]
* Source Audio had to be selected twice if WAV audio was the previously
selected option.
* Motion JPEG code was crashing instead of throwing errors on unsupported MJPEG
formats.
* Capture: Cropping caused YCbCr formats to vertically flip.
* Capture: VFW driver was not properly reporting failure when setting
unsupported video formats.
* Capture: "Wait for OK on capture" has been reimplemented.
* Fixed the prev/next range commands always saying "no prev/next range."

Good Job Phaeron...

does this mean windows scheduler can be used to do timer recordings?
is it finally a time for me to dload something from 1.6 branch?
guess i need to wait for "profiles"(storing different cap settings) now.

sweet!
nice to see 1.6 tree growing so fast!
respect!

first impressions on 1.6.4;
i like it! A LOT! 
it's saving plenty of settings, is more cpu efficient as a result of dshow capping, sync offset seems to vanished.
avery, you're a genius, and i love you!

i'm wondering if horizontal reduction (like fcc's 1.5.10 has) could be added (if it's not too much trouble).
this would be beneficiary when one wants to cap vhs straight to low-res; we know that bt8x8 is dropping less frames on higher resolutions if sync is somewhat compromised (as on vhs), so h.reduction in vdub would mean less drops in such situation.
in other words, i will drop less if i'm doing 768/2 x 576/2 than if i'm doing 400x576/2 on vhs.
or better to say most of the time i won't drop at all if vdub is getting 768x576 from bt8x8.
for non-vhs sources (with stable sync) this is irrelevant.
400x576 won't drop any frames in that case.

I should think so but you have to handle how to close VistualDub at the end of capture. You may like to try my program instead.

Me too! I hope that the profile would covers codec, codec settings, video source, tuner setting etc and take care of the problem highlight here.

yes, indeed. i was just about to ask this
http://www.zisoft.de/video/
guy if he could make a scheduler for vdub too.
now i'll just try your stuff.
as for settings sticking, in my opinion some of them are too sticky; they seem to be saved to registry(or somewhere) even without user wishing to do so; for example vertical reduction is saved without doing any ticking.
and dshow acceleration is not.
but all in all, i'm fine; i just fire it up, and i'm ready to cap; this is way better than prev. versions.
as for tuner, i dunno; i don't have tuner on my card;
perhaps different driver would do?
i know source input is staying where i left it (btwincap driver).
how to close it? why close it at all?
i mean you can stop recording, isn't that enough?

I wonder when Phaeron will update the help file? It's currently showing displays and options from a considerably older vesion of VirtualDub (maybe 1.5.10?)
But who needs a help file when there's such a helpful forum?

how can he update help if gui is not yet finished?
you'll know it's finished once peak meter appears when you hit 'v' in cap mode.

It takes at least three times longer to write documentation for a feature than to implement it, so I usually opt to code in the evenings. Also, I've recently discovered the syntax for invoking help topics through hh.exe, so I want to look at recompiling the help as a .chm.
BTW, while 'v' makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint, it isn't very mnemonic for "peak meter"....

Not quite enought, if you plan to have another capture soon after that. |

leon, apparently you didn't received my mail, and didn't saw this one;
http://forums.virtualdub.org/index.php?act...t=ST&f=6&t=9200
?
yes, you're right; for 2 caps in a row, you need to exit vdub after 1st one.

This version still more for experts to test out than for neophytes to start capturing?
I'll probably try it out after I get caught up on my video backlog and find some free time. |
