Dowload the latest beta version of The FilmMachine

[mantis]

because the latest beta, when I run it, it stays on the welcome screen, and makes my computer unstable. I didn't have such a problem with the previous betas.

[mantis]

it's working now, my dvd writer's new firmware made my system unstable.
sorry for the false alert

[iCE999]

Just installed the new beta. I'm running Win2k on a 3.2Ghz Intel, 1GB of DDR 3200 Ram, 128MB Nvidia card. The program finishes its audio encoding and then my computer shuts down and restarts. I dont know what is happening here. Here's the log:

DirectShow messages:

if any additional information is needed I will post it. Ive always had problems converting 25FPS video with TFM but its never forced my computer to restart. Very strange. Now, can you post the beta ver right before the latest release? I'd like to see if I can use that now instead.

Hi there!

I had the exact same problem, my setup is almost like yours except for a 3.6 ghz instead of the 3.2... It's the heat issue for sure. I bought a "arctic freezer 7" cpu cooler and it solved the problem. I got a lot more detailed information about the problem, feel free to mail me if u want it.

HI DO I HAVE TO HAVE THE Cinema Craft Encoder SP 2.5, 2.66, 2.67 IF SO WOULD SOMEONE HAVE THEM PLEASE

Hi,

Here you can download the latest beta version of The FilmMachine:


Installation notes for version 1.5.0.7 beta:

You must have DirectX 9 installed on your computer because all audio is converted to PCM audio with DirectShow filters (This will solve a lot of audio problems).

If you want to DV files you should install the Panasonic DV Codec.

Uninstall any previous version of The FilmMachine and install the beta version.


HISTORY:

15 April 2005 version 1.5.0.7 beta
- Added the possibility to add a second subtitle (only with selectable subtitles) on a DVD.
- Added preview window.


3 April 2005 version 1.5.0.6 beta
- Fixed missing Chapters bug in second part of the movie.
- Fixed the wrong timing with *.sub subtitles.
- Fixed the wrong audio channel order when using AC3 files and BeSweet.
- Besplit will no longer be used for AC3 fixing.
- If audio source is DTS then output will be stereo (because of bug in BeSweet).
- Changed from Hkey_Local_Machine to Hkey_Current_User for saving settings (for compatibility reasons)
- Now Avi-information is gathered using DirectX 9 (fixes the bug with large files)
- Added latest version of DVDAuthor/Spumux (version 0.6.11)
- Added option to choose Spumux with or without Anti-Aliasing.


24 Februari 2005 version 1.5.0.5 beta
- Fixed the bug with opening the DVD menu window.


23 Februari 2005 version 1.5.0.4 beta
- Fixed persistant bug with BeSplit only working with audio of the first avi.


22 Februari 2005 version 1.5.0.3 beta
- Fixed the bug with BeSplit only working with audio of the first avi.
- Fixed a few other bugs.


17 Februari 2005 version 1.5.0.2 beta
- Implemented Chinese BIG5 characterset for selectable subs.
- If no framerate conversion and no stereo output are selected then AC3 audio will only be fixed with BeSplit (no encoding with BeSweet)
- Hopefully fixed the wrong AVI numbering error (Implemented another control)
- Implemented Cinema Craft Encoder 2.70 support.
- VirtualDubMod is not needed anymore for adding AVI's together. It is now fully implemented in TFM.
- Now TFM doesn't try to find the windows of CCE, it just waits untill it is finished encoding. Also no progress of CCE visible in TFM.


9 Februari 2005 version 1.5.0.1 beta
- Hopefully fixed the CCE not finding second encoding window bug.
- Now supports DV type 1 and DV type 2 files. Type 1 is converted to Type 2 for compatibility reasons. You have to have the Panasonic DV decoder installed.
- For AVI with DTS conversion, WinDVD is not needed anymore. It is done using AC3Filter which is in the installation package.
- Fixed a bug with subtitle synchronisation when making NTSC DVD with selectable subs and source was 23.970 (Thanks to Jako Bergson)
- Added Audio Boost function and you can select Stereo output mode instead of the normal 5.1 output.
- Now Audio Extraction is done with the use of DirectShow Filters (so you have to have DirectX 9 installed) and feeded directly to BeSweet without saving it to file first.
- Changed maximum bitrate for DVD so that the output dvd files should fit on a DVD.
- Included a new build of Spumux (based on the 0.6.11 alpha version) which supports Anti-Aliasing of subtitles and Korean and Hebrew subtitles.

28 November 2004 version 1.4.0.2 beta
- Disabled automatic changing of "Booktype" by NeroApi.
- Now works with Nero version 6.6 and higher.
- Updated the automatic Aspect Ratio selection.
- Now "Don't burn DVD" is checked and disabled when Nero is not installed or you don't have a supported version.


12 October 2004 version 1.4.0.1 beta
- Now when created DVD with selectable Subs the Subtitles are automatically enabled when played.
- Fixed the Pentium 4 HyperThreading problem.
- Now you have to click the "Create DVD menu" button to create a menu, if not there is no menu.
- Fixed showing black subtitles when selecting permanent subtitles.
- Fixed a few bugs.

HI DO I HAVE TO HAVE THE Cinema Craft Encoder SP 2.5, 2.66, 2.67 IF SO WOULD SOMEONE HAVE THEM PLEASE

I just dowloaded the latest beta, but found no VDubMod in the package, is this done on purpose?
I mean, I can certainly "stitch" the .avi files together anyhow!
Just kinda curious.

Best regards and loads of thank you's for the best free software all categories!
And by the way someone was looking for CCE 2.50.
PM me and i'll give you a couple hints!

VirtualDub is not needed anymore. Avi muxing is now done trough Avisynth scripting.

[Gazoo]

But I always thought it was kind of practical to have it there, since sometimes when i join .avi's they come in different sample rates.....
and Vdub/mod is a good tool to correct this with.
By the way thanks for the swift answer!!!
And i really appreciate Avisynth scripting, my point being that VDub is in my opinion an extremely versatile tool.
Kind of nice to get so many valuable tools when downloading TFM so I was sad to see it go.
But on the other hand it IS freeware, and what's the point in distributing something that is so easy to get hold of anyway!!!

Again many thanks Gazoo

That is the reason that it is not included anymore.

Hi,long time lurker first time poster...first of all i wanna say i just love this program,been using the stable version for a while now.

Yesterday was my first chance on using the latest Beta version,i used the exact same settings as i used on the stable version (i did clean install),but for some reason,the final output size is less then 3GB.

Its a 1h48m long avi movie,4 passes CCE 2.50 to DVD5,perm subs,didnt had any errors while converting or anything....i do remember that movies that were aprox the same time,on the stable version the size was more then 4GB.

Anyone else having this kind of a problem?
I dont have a problem with the final quality,but it had more then 1GB of space on a DVD5,so the quality could have been a lot higher.

Thanks

Please post your *.log files.

Ive had a problem with TFM that deals with FPS. Im using the latest beta of TFM but ive run into the same issue with the latest official release as well. CCE 2.67, 3.2ghz cpu, 1gb ddr 3200.

Anyhow, whenever I encode an avi for use on a dvd (svcd), i need to convert pal to ntsc. Whenever I do this the file always ends up being to big for DVD5 output. Usually by something like 300mb or something in that range. Any ideas or explanations? Anyone else have this problem. I've reinstalled everything more than once to make sure that wasnt it. Ive also formatted my OS to make sure there wasn't some mistake there also.

[ciberghost]

my the filmmachine is always crashing, always says that ec clock changed???????????????????? what can i do

[The_Mask]

Most of the time you don't have the right DirectX filter installed.

[ciberghost]
