MediaCoder

I agree. I really wish MediaCoder could take multiple VOB's (or even an IFO file), and merge + transcode into a single AVI. There are multiple other options including: 1. Set your DVD ripper to create a single VOB (SmartRipper can do this) 2. Use DVDShrink and select "Preferences" / "Output Files" t...

might want to review some of the discussion in the following thread. http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=373&highlight= Basically, you should be able to choose the "Picture" Tab in lower left, then check the "Resize" box, and then choose the Width x Height from the picklist (drop...

Thanks Stanley! I will take a look and see if I am up for this!!

If I transcode the same file using Dr. DivX, it automatically handles re-sizing (640x336), creating a correct aspect ratio. Is Mediacoder completely manual, or is it supposed to be auto-resizing to maintain correct aspect ration (see details of original files listed in top of this posting)... ORIGIN...

Anyone have any experience or tips on plug-in creation? Or is it not intented for end user participation?

I see the PlugIns take both an XML and DLL file.

Any notes on how an end user could create a plug-in. Modifying the XML is pretty simple. What is the DLL doing and is it possible for an end-user to modify a current file-pair to add another device??

I found that if I RESIZE Picture to 624x352 , and don't mess at all with the SETTINGS dialog (browser part), I get the results I want. So, a 720x640 NTSC DVD file, with DAR=16:9, needs to be RESIZED to 624x352 to get the 16:9 aspect ratio correct. Using the "Aspect Ratio" checkbox does not work... A...

Found this info on the MemCoder site. =============================================== 12.9. Preserving aspect ratio Chapter 12. Basic usage of MEncoder DVDs and SVCDs (i.e. MPEG-1/2) files contain an aspect ratio value, which describes how the player should scale the video stream, so humans will not...

Target is XVID...(details above) Maybe I am just missing the correct settings to take a VOB that is NSTC 720x480 resolution (with DAR=16:9), to an XviD file with 16:9 aspect ratio. I am concerned I may not understand correct settings. Anyone willing to provide a 1-2-3 step list to see if I got it ri...

Tried a few more tests with build 2338. 16x9 VOB input Test1 : ensured all "PICTURES" checkboxes NOT selected. 1. Output created says Aspect ratio 16/9 in MediaCoder ("Item/Details of Selected File"). 2. Plays back on MemPlayer OK! 3. "AVICodec" program shows file as 4:3! 4. Fileplays back in Window...
