Awesome app! Will come in very useful :P. I can safely say it also does BF2142 files to excellent quality too. 
Can you stop it halfway through or would do something nasty?
If you kill it, nothing will happen most likely--the video being encoded will stay there (albeit cut off in the middle).

This may be a completely random topic, but when I take unprocessed Fraps footage and try to play it in VLC...I get no video at all only audio, where the same file plays fine in WMP10. Soon as I encode the Fraps file using this tool, it plays fine. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

VLC is codec-independent--instead of using your computer's video codecs, it uses its own. It probably doesn't have a FRAPS codec built-in.
Any other media player, at least any DirectShow one (almost any player) will play it fine.

Edited by: Dracolich on 09/06/2007 17:22:21 Yet another great initiative - maybe i can get this working instead of following you initial guideline for advanced users.
Meh call me stupid, but
Originally by: Dark Shikari
1. Install AviSynth. The installer is included.
2. Place your video in the Input folder under the name "video.avi". It is recommended that the video you choose as your source be as high quality as possible; don't encode in a very lossy format and then put it in the folder! The video *must* be in .AVI format.
I can't get a .exe program for Avisynth. Only an uninstall - I thought for a moment its entirely based on script made ie notepad, but your new guide suggests a sort of a GUI. Am I understanding this totally wrong? _____________________________________

Speaking of which, a GUI version is coming soon that will be even easier. 
Though honestly this version is quite easy as it is

Thank you for making me feel very stupid, DS - I'll figure it out eventually - Just need to find my stubborn suit of nevergiveup. _____________________________________

Works perfectly.
Took a 275,779,584 bytes Fraps file and squashed it to 4,759,552 bytes using the low speed/high quality encode. The file was 1280x1024 @ 30fps, taken from Tranquility with all graphics settings set to maximum for my machine. Was getting between 4-6 fps on the encode, which is more than acceptable considering I would normally have to run multiple passes through VirtualDub + DivX Pro.
Nice work DS, as always :) I did try your last guide to encoding, and don't mind sounding like a noob when I got stuck at, step 1: Write a script.

hey.. I got this vid..Im making. My comp for some reason crashes..when Im trying to render the entire vid into a avi file with adobe premiere pro. I was thinking if I render the 14min vid into smaller pieces and then "glue" em to gether using ure codec...will it work? I know I have to take all the sound into its own file though:)

Is your hard drive formatted as FAT32? Right click on your drive and click properties. If it is NTFS, no problem, if its FAT32 it can't store any file over 4GB in size.
To fix this, either convert the drive to NTFS or save the video using the Lagarith or HuffYUV codec, which will shrink it losslessly.

Dark, with this tool, would you gain or lose compression-quality for example if you:
1. Compressed your FRAPS with tool. 2. Did a Vegas Movie, used to make with cool stuff in it, fully uncompressed. 3. Re-Compressed *.avi with tool.
Would it be damn clear as hell or become over-compressed?

If you want to make it relatively clear, compress the FRAPS on high quality mode. I may add an option in the future for an "extra high quality" mode to use with FRAPS.

If you do, please eve-mail me as soon as you release that, as that's the way I would be doing it. 5TB's of HD's and they're all full of FRAPS!

Edited by: Sleepkevert on 11/06/2007 10:45:41 zomg, this tread needs some glue!
anyway, fiddling, looks like I'm getting an error, but it closes to fast to read it, how about a log file when in debugging mode, that just echo's the text in the cmd screen to log? Nevermind, was to lazy to read the readme and run the installer first..

That would be a good idea. To see what error its generating, you can open a command prompt and run the batch file manually.

Great job on the application, it eased up converting my presentation for college alot ;)
I encountered a problem with converting a particullar file to .mkv. I exported it uncompressed from Adobe Premiere 2.0 on Vista, and it required one of the two availible v210 codecs from this page to function correctly.
I found this solution because of an error message given by another app. Conversion went OK after this, reducing my 50 GB RAW-file to 35 MB :D

Thank you for this great program Dark Shikari,
I fraps in 1920x1200 and having some issues producing non-stuttering videos even with lowest quality settings. I would hate to lower the resolution since it really degrades quality a LOT. Any switches I can play with to make it watchable. I run a dual core 2 ghz cpu btw.
And again thanks to you and CaPoNe for your efforts.

I'd recommend you get CoreAVC as linked in the original post--it is four times faster than FFDShow and VLC if you have a dual core CPU (twice as fast, plus two cores = four times as fast).
Note that none of the quality settings on this program should affect playback speed much--only marginally. I could add a checkbox for lower complexity encoding, which would disable CABAC and some other options.

Version 2.01 is out!
New features include Low Complexity Mode and FRAPS Backup Mode.
Other updates include bugfixes and README improvements, along with a built-in README reader and automatic saving of Custom command-line options.
From the README:
Low Complexity Mode: Lowers the CPU cost of decoding by 35% or more! However, this results in about 10% lower quality and 10-15% higher file size.
How it works: It disables CABAC, a compression scheme that requires a lot of CPU to decode. This results in the larger file size. It also disables deblocking, resulting in more blockiness but increased playback speed.
FRAPS Backup: Uses an extra-high quality setting suitable for FRAPS backups. Still vastly smaller than the original FRAPS, of course. NOTE: this overrides the quality setting set in the main panel, but does not override the speed setting.

Important update. v2.01 build 1025
found a nasty bug at saving :/
Download this exe ,extract it in the install dir, and delete the Codec.hrs. Then restart the exe. After this the update is completed.
Sry for this. DS will upgrade the setup exe soon (TM) ;) _________________________________________________ Best Regards The CaPoNe Http://happydt.chill.to |

DS does this resize the video or just compress at same resolution using the codec at the selected bitrates?
if not, this could possibly be an "advanced option"? using a target resolution for x and y box? sometimes less is more...zero

Nope, it doesn't resize, but I have actually been considering that as a feature for 2.02!
One advantage is that since it uses AviSynth, it can use better resizing algorithms than most programs use, and so the result will look a lot better.
Another thing I'm considering is, if I can figure out a way for the program to read the resolution of the input video, a feature that "autocrops" the sides of the video by a couple pixels to make both x and y divisible by 16. This improves H.264 compression since if they're not divisible by 16, the encoder basically has to add black bars to the sides.
