-E-AC3 support

To avoid confusion, I would like to add that support for E-AC3 in demuxers, in libavformat-based muxers and in the libavcodec-based audio decoder plugin was present in Avidemux for quite a few years. However, the ability to handle multiple E-AC3 frames (one so-called independent frame followed by one or more dependent frames which may provide additional channels with custom layouts) in a single audio packet is new.

With vsWin64/Avidemux_2.8.1 VC++ 64bits 220323.exe version and Resample FPS filter hangs Avidemux when starting encoding.
Chosen codec: HEVC(x265), Resample FPS filter with motion compensation option.
That bug occurred in version 2.8.0 either.
Without frame interpolation or with Blend its working.

[eumagga0x2a]

Could you please reproduce the issue and prior to restarting Avidemux, provide admlog.txt from %localappdata%\avidemux\ folder? Could you please also test whether the latest available MinGW ("win64") build exhibits the same problem?

Upon a quick test on Linux, I could not reproduce a hang with x265 and Resample FPS (30000/1001 --> 25 fps) filter with motion compensation enabled.

[Norbi]

Tried /win64/avidemux_r220330_win64Qt5_131.zip
Its just closing itself without any sign when starting encoding.
How can I upload the txt files here?

Ok, I attached both versions admlog after hanging/closing.

The issue is now fixed by szlldm, please try a future nightly.

Thank you for your report.

Option "optimize" does not function anymore !!!

I have the follwing line in my custom py-files (batch script for many files):

adm.setContainer("MP4", "muxerType=0", "optimize=0", "forceAspectRatio=False", "aspectRatio=1", "rotation=0", "clockfreq=0")

Since I updated to version 2.8.1 the option "optimize" is not processed anymore.

AviDemux always moves the entries to the beginning of the file (optimize=1), so changes with the windows dialog take now 1 to 2 minutes :-(

When I use this script as a custom configuration, option 1 is selected although a zero is set in the script. When I set the option in the dialog for "mp4 files" to "no optimizing", the output has the right format.

Please fix it fast as possible !!!

I have the follwing line in my custom py-files (batch script for many files):

adm.setContainer("MP4", "muxerType=0", "optimize=0", "forceAspectRatio=False", "aspectRatio=1", "rotation=0", "clockfreq=0")

This configuration is incomplete as muxers expect (and always expected) the full parameter list, which would be in case of MP4 muxer

Code Select Expand

adm.setContainer("MP4", "muxerType=0", "optimize=0", "forceAspectRatio=False", "displayWidth=1280", "aspectRatio=1", "rotation=0", "clockfreq=0")
(the value of displayWidth is ignored if forceAspectRatio is false or aspectRatio is not equal 4). I am not sure at the moment whether we may safely change parameter list parsing for muxers to accept those with some parameters missing. Relaxed parsing would allow to handle situations like yours gracefully.
