Avidemux Forum

Good day! I have a problem. The program can't convert to DVD from flv by the options:
Auto→Optical disk→DVD.
The next time an error appears (the log in attachment) and the programm closes.
Can anybody help me?

If avidemux 2.5.# crashes every time when you open, if that is what your saying, try this:
use windows explorer and copy text below in its address bar: %appdata%\avidemux and delete its contents, It contains all settings the avidemux settings.

Code Select Expand

%appdata%\avidemux and delete its contents, It contains all settings the avidemux settings.

I have done this, but thee are no any contens, see attachment...

and

So the folder "custom" was already empty

not folder custom, all content of folder Avidemux: config <- delete
When crashing = by opening avidemux  / not while opening/loading video file
flv can have different codecs inside, if this is H.264 video and HE-AAC audio you better use avidemux 2.6. The dvd feature there is not enabled. Take note what dvd setting is doing in 2.5.6 and apply same changes in 2.6. When you have tweaked this setting to work in 2.6. Save as project. Main menu -> Tinypy Project: Save As Project. Edit the saved project an omit the part where video is loaded and markers are set. Delete lines similar to the bold ones

By programm mediainfo I 've known that audio codec of my video is PCM. Other properties see in attachments. Should I update version avidemux to 2.6 ? It is beta, does the 2.5ver   features remined in this case?

Most of 2.6 stuff is functional, some not, still work in progress, I use it on daily basis and have 2.5.6 to on the computer, have a go at it.

I've upgraded  avidemux to 2.5.6. But the crush is still stay. See log file

I' ve saved proect as *.js file. Cliced to its icon to edit but the window error appears -

If this is still a problem upgrade to 2.6 instead of 2.5.6.

• 2.5.6:
  save as ToDVD.js and place this in

%appdata%\avidemux\custom\

• 2.6:
  save as ToDVD.py and place this in

%appdata%\avidemux6\custom\py\

if folder py is not there you need to create it in custom

Now when you load same type of video, you can now select this from avidemux text menu: Custom and ToDVD should be showing in that menu, click on it.

I don't have a clue why the APPCRASH occurs, just being a avidemux user

QuoteThe name of the module with the error: libADM_vidEnc_avcodec.dll
   Version of the module with the error: 0.0.0.0

I have done all you said. I not find the folder "Custom" and "Ty", so I've created its.  But I can't find in menu "Custom". It must be here (see screenshot)?

I've find folder appdata and Custom. Created folder Py there and Py file. No chanches followered

Sorry,  my mistake. Have mixed up 2.5.6 <> 2.6, slightly different procedure
2.5.6:

• not in folder Custom\py, should be in Custom
• extension ToDVD.py should be ToDVD.js

1st load video, then apply from menu custom: ToDVD
apologies for inconvenience.

But after clicing to ToDVD аn Error occurs - illegal character. See attachment. There is mistake?

Don't see what is going wrong? I've attached ToDVD.js. This one works here. If that does not work in your environment???? Windows English versus your localized Windows or Windows <> Linux?

These you need to leave out! Or you can't use the job for other videos!
//** Video **

app.markerB=1898;

I've copied your ToDVD.js to mine folder, run Avidemux. Loaded video. Cliced to ToDVD in menu. Then a message pup up "Incompatible audio
For DVD sound should be in the form of 48 kHz MP2, AC3 or LPCM" (transcription from Russian). I have turned Audio to 48 kHz MP2 or AC3 and the result was the same - en error and avidemux was shut down (log file in attachment )

Windows of crushind in attachment

For DVD, audio must be 48 kHz and one of:

• AC3 (FFmpeg AC3)
• MP2 (FFmpeg MP2 or TwoLAME)
• LPCM (WAV LPCM)

If the audio track from the source video is suitable, the best might be to use it and let the audio to Copy. Else select your favorite encoder (for me it would be TwoLAME).
Don't forget to setup the audio filter. Setup downmixing if needed and don't forget that the audio must be 48 kHz. Use a resampling filter if needed.
So for example, you will set downmixing to Dolby Prologic 2, resampling to 48 kHz, TwoLAME encoder at 160 kb/s.
source: Avidemux wiki: Converting to DVD (http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/doku.php?id=tutorial:converting_to_dvd)

If that fails: can you upload a 5 second sample/size 20 MB original video that you load in avidemux? To Rapidshare (https://www.rapidshare.com/) or similar service? and provide a link for it here?

I configured the audio as you said, but fails remind.
I noticed a feature ââ,¬â€œ text in js-files, which are in avidemux as a default, by opening it in notepad is shown as one long line, but not as a column. But your sample scripts, Iââ,¬â,,¢ve copied and pasted from this forum to notepad and saved as js, in js-files was like in your posts - in the column (each entry begins with a new line). Your last ToDVD.js in attachment is shown as a long line in a notepad. Maybe this is the reason? Link for example of muvie https://rapidshare.com/files/226503885/0.avi

Hope this is what you wanted

Thanks a lot! If I correctly understood you ver 2.5.6. doesn't work. Can you send me a link for Avidemux 2.6. preferably with russian menu?

Don't know if there is Russian translation available? Russian translation? (http://www.avidemux.org/smf/index.php?topic=3817.0)
Download available:
http://avidemux.org/nightly/

There are 2 versions for Win 32 bit - avidemux_r8108_devel_win32.7z and avidemux_r8108_win32.7z,
Which of them I should download?

As I right, These programms without installation. How do I use it? Simply unpack the archieve and run avidemux3.exe?

on the second link you have installer.

I can't dounload my video in avidemux ver 2.6.

Same .flv  or .avi  video or new video?

same flv

have no idea. Sometimes on 1st usage this happens here to? remove the .idx2 made for that clip and restart. Most of times this works.
Other issue could be if you have changed default settings in Edit -> Preferences?
Video: video display, don't set to opengl or vdpau if your card is not nvidia.
Threading: use Auto-detect, if using Custom don't count virtual processor as processor: Intel dual core with hyper-threading. Shows up as 4 cpu. Only use 2.

You was right - the case was in irregular settings in Edit -> Preferences (to opengl was set). I've fixed it, set filters
Transform: Resample FPS -> [Configure] -> Mode: 25 (PAL)
swResize, vdpau: resize or openGL resize: Resize: W: 720 H:576

And the encoding was done succesfully!
So it possible to write a manual for converting to DVD by Avidemux.
A last question - Does importance the container of  muvie (avi or mpeg or other type) for playback on a DVD player (in my case, company Pioneer). What  container  is best suited for playback videos on the external DVD player?

Yes, when you want the dvd to behave as dvd then the created videos are good to be used for DVD authoring program like DVDStyler (http://www.dvdstyler.org/ru/) to create DVD that would play in DVD player.

If it would ever happen when saving the FLV to DVD mpg this window pops up:
File too short
This workaround may work for you to: Load flv in avidemux 2.6 and save video with these settings:

• Video Output: Copy
• Audio Output: Copy
• Output Format: MP4v2 Muxer

Load the newly created video.mp4 in avidemux 2.6. Apply custom toDVD.py.
Apply video filter(s) if required: size 720x576, fps 25 and save, the mpg now created should be dvd compliant
