Build 5130 is best so far

Post by meRobs » Thu Apr 14, 2011 3:41 pm

I have just added two more tests for the Test Report (see Tips & Guides below).
As a result, build 5130 has the least number of failures of the 14 functions tested.

Check it out, at: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=10383

Yes, let's hope. They both should be easy to fix! The Trim used to work for builds 4399 and 4630 to 4700.
Also, as reported elsewhere (viewtopic.php?f=28&t=10284&p=31381&hilit=Effects#p31381), there only needs a simple Cmd change to get the Effects working.

The older builds are reported here: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=9611
According to that, build 4797 has the least faults. It also has an improved GUI over4640.

However, whenever I have problems I hop back to 4640 from pure habit.
I have both 4640 and 4797 on board at the moment with the latest (5130).

I have noticed that audio gain and subtitle rendering did not work for me in build 5130. I have been using the Copy Video function since the original video was H264 and I wanted to keep that format. I accidently discovered that when I re-encoded the video as H264 then, and only then, audio gain and subtitle rendering actually started working. This surprised me since I cannot see why Copy Video should disable these two functions. I do not like re-encoding the video to the same format as the original since this adds considerable time to the transcoding process. I wonder what other functions may work or not work because another function, a seemingly unrelated function, has been chosen to be used. I have found that this Copy Video disabling situation also exists build 4740 so it has been a problem for some time.

A comment on the failure of the Trim/clip function in the Clipping & Effects window.

Since I noted that the player SMplayer, a GUI for MPlayer behaves in a similar fashion. An attempt to drag its slider when paused begins play.
Hence I thought maybe this was a bug in MPlayer, so, I copied over the version from 4640 (Trim works) into the Codecs folder for 5130.
But this made no difference.

Hence, most likely a bug in MediaCoder's GUI.
