Complete Version history / Release notes / Changelog / What's New for MkvMagic
1.33
Fixed bug on DVD input that cause dgindex to spot if ifo file name is malformed (or different from vobset)
If a second encode is lauched after the first one the log window will report only the second log
Update log file (for better debug)
Added Save Default button. If you click this button mkvmagic will save an mkvmagic.ini with main parameter. If mkvmagic.ini is present when mkvmagic.exe is loading the this file will be parsed and loaded
Fixed NeroAACEnc "-If" on second audio track, thanks to Koriyama Naohiro for bug hunting !
Added a sanity check for audio looping. If audio track isn't create the program will not stop trying to convert and continue with other process (fell free to suggest better solutions)
Update Tutorial
1.32
Update deinterlacer routines. Now using BAutoDeint by Berrinam ! My kudos to Berrinam !! Using this application i will able to analyze a precius log and then argue better deinterlace routines
If source isthen this routines is applyed
unknownIf "Enable VFR" is checked than this script is applied tfm(d2v="movie.d2v").tdecimate(mode=3,hybrid=2,vfrDec=0,mkvOut="mkv-timecodesfile.txt") Else no routines is applied
progressiveno routines
interlacedif order is know LeakKernelDeint(order=auto), if order is unknow than TDeint()
decimatingtfm(d2v="movie.d2v").tdecimate()
partly filmtfm(d2v="movie.d2v").tdecimate(hybrid=1)
partly interlacedtfm(d2v="movie.d2v").tdecimate(hybrid=3)
filmForced Film is applyed to d2v, than tfm(d2v="movie.d2v").tdecimate()
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SUGGEST BETTER ROUTINES
Added a check button at side fo Deinterlacer that if checked allow building of VFR MKV file is source in unknow
Added the possibility to add a custom string to xvid command line encoder
When converting mpeg4 (avi/dv/mkv/...) file to dvd audio will be converted using or directshowsource or avisource (before was only directshowsource)
Correct deinterlacer routines in AVSOptimizer
1.31
Update code to allow installatin in path with space. Like "c:program filesmkvmagic" also destination path could contain space
Now when MkvMagic is working a log windows is always ready to watch what is doing. Please don't close this window or mkvmagic will also close... i will correct this bug asap
There no more need to edit defaul.avs. All *.dll present in filter will be loaded
Added MultiSWAR resizer
Added Aften Audio Encoder
Explicited use of NONE in resizer. Select NONE for NO resize and NO autocrop
1.30
Update MkvMagic log. Since the porting to PureBasic 4 the log wasn't immediately avaiable while mkvmagic is runnig. Now is possible to open mkvmagic.log while mkvmagic is running
Added support for DgIndex 1.4.8 beta 3 FILM/VIDEO flag
When encoding end MkvMagic will popup again
1.29
Update Teegedeck XviD Profiles parsing
1.28w
Update XviD command line options (bframes, max-iframes,custom cqm)
1.27
MkvMagic will NOT close at end of encoding
Correct AR signaling in mkv when set AR to anamorphic and x264 as codec
In CCT encoder is choose audio is resampled to 16 bit for compliance
Update NicAudio plugin to use NicMPG123
Corrected second audio track not being encoded
1.26
Ported source code to PureBasic 4.00
Tunings for new source code
1.25
Bug fixing for ac3 to aud-x encoder
If downmixing mode choosen isn't correct for audio file then original audio channel is retained
1.24
Added support for encoding ac3 files with aud-x audio engine
Correct only audio encoding with QuEnc
Added Downmixing mode (Original, Mono, Stereo, DLP, DLP II)
Little clean-up of mkvmagic.log
Added support for autodeinterlace with avi input. If you don't want to deinterlace or test deinterlac routines, choose NONE on "Deinterlacer"
Update Lame VBR string, now default command line for VBR encoding is "-v --vbr-new -h -S -V 5"
1.23
Added -ignorelength to neroaacenc parameter
Bug fixings and tweak on audio part (MkvMagic is now a good gui for audio encoding!)
1.22
If final size is equal or bigger than 2GB and if avi is the final container then OpenDML is applyed in muxing
On mpeg4 input MkvMagic will switch to DirectShowSource or AviSource if choosed one isn't fuctional
Added ConvertAudioTo32bit() for sanity purpose into mkvmaudio.avs
If dgindex wasn't able to demux audio mkvmagic will relaunch dgindex on next audio tracks.
If dgindex don't found any audio than mplayer.exe is used to demux audio track selected into wav and the encoded in ac3 file with 192 cbr/2ch setting (only for ts files)
1.21
Totally rewritten from scratch audio part. Dropped support for besweet. Now mkvmagic use avisynth as main audio processor (as megui). Added support for frequency, tempo, pitch and channel.
Added tips for these new fuctions
This encoding is used both for mpeg4 output and mpeg2 output, so please pay attention when converting PAL2NTSC and viceversa
Added support for command line LAME.exe, Oggenc.exe, TwoLame.exe, Aud-X.exe, AAC_CTPlus and NeroAACEnc.exe.
Encoding to AC3 is demanded to QuEnc (and work quite well)
If input is audio file mkvmagic will process it without hiss. Like a BeSweet substitute ! :)
If output is mpeg2 audio file is encoded as 48000hz
Added support for FrFun7 filter
1.20
Automatic set of number of threads at program start, based upon hardware detection
Update QuEnc routines to 0.7
1.19
Update AutoQMatEnc upon choose avs as input (wrong ar in ecl creation)
Update dump of xvid_encraw settings. Upon click on "WriteCMD" mkvmagic will create one or two bat in working folder with xvid settings.
If Mplayer.exe is present into exeencoder folder, mkvmagic will use it for demuxing audio from mpeg4 file (avi/mkv/ogm...). This way is more robust than virtualdub demux
1.18
Again better support for avi input. Is now possible to "Copy Original" even for avi input
Varius bug fixes an avs input and avi input (no more bbmpeg crash on avi parsing..., this shouldn't ever done; no more try to parse d2v on avs input)
Update MkvMerge to 1.70
Added a new folder ( "Matrix" in exe folder )with several matrix for use with xvid.
Added support for -progress options in xvid_encraw
Better routines for get exact size with xvid_encraw
1.17
Added support for HC_Enc 0.18
Correct a bug that would calculate bitrate for hcenc on 1000 basis not on 1024
Added support for muxing .idx/.sub into mp4
Added support for avs input for conversion to mpeg2
Better avi input. Now audio is saved to wav with virtualdubmod
1.16
Added --no-dct-decimate to x264 options
Added support for Teegedeck XviD preset. These presets could be very handy for a newby lost in xvid command line. Take a look at tooltip next to choice. Link to doom9 forum for discussion http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=107897
1.15
Added an hidden feature: if you write NONE in resize filter (where is lanczos, bicubic...), mkvmagic will neither do autoresize nor apply autocrop or any resize. If enabled HGAvsOptimizer will however autocrop the source
Isn't more possible to edit OGG and Aud-X audio codec BITRATE. Since OGG is based on quality preset and Aud-X on its preset the combo where choose bitrate is "greyed". NO PROBLEM !!! YOU CAN ALWAYS CHOICE FROM LIST
More Tooltip ! (again)... If mouse is over Mkvmagic icon in systray a popup will say what mkvmagic is doing
Added in log the AR calculated as Gordian Knot and the AR error (as Gordian Knot)
Added support for TBilateral and TTempSmooth
Optimized filter code (internal change, 5k code removed)
1.14
Changed "CreditsCalcAudio" panel to "Extra Settings"
Better log if 1 or 2 Pass VFW is choosed
If "Calculate!" (in "Extra" panel) is pressed the bitrate calculate is putted in clipboard (for a copy&paste in vfw codec configurations)
Resolved a nasty bug that could bring very very low resolution on autosize with very short clip (less then 1 minute)
Changed name of AUD-X to "MP3 5.1 Aud-X" due to request of developers of Aud-X (not a big trouble !)
1.13
More complete support for XviD_Encraw. Now is possible to set all single pass and second pass options
1.12
Traced in log the presence of decrypter, mplayer and mencoder
Corrected erroneus warning message about missing decrypter eve if presente (bug reported by riggits)
If DTS audio source is choosed then only "Copy Original" is avaiable as audio codec
Reported in log MkvMagic version
1.11
Added support for AVS input file. No filter or resize is applyed, only HGAvsoptimizer,audio encoding and final encoding
1.10
Added average encoding speed in log report
Added support to generic vfw codec ( like DivX 6 ). In codec list are added two new entry: "2 Pass Manual VFW Codec" and "1 Pass Manual VFW Codec".
!!! NOTE !!!
"Conf. Codec" is enabled if you choose one of these encoding mode.
IF YOU CLICK on "Conf. Codec" you MUST configure one or two pass codec AND this EXACT SETTING (bitrate...) will be used in encoding, both for autosize and final encoding. TIPS: use "Credit/Calc/Audio" for computing bitrate
IF YOU DON'T CLICK on "Conf. Codec" MkvMagic will ASK and you MUST set codec at encoding time, both for autoresize and final encoding. Before autosize and final encoding a message info is displayed for average bitrate knowledge. The only drawback is encoding will wait for your input. Es. choose input, choose 2 pass vfw -> start ! -> indexing -> audio encoding -> ask for autoresize codec config -> ask two time for codec configuration (one for both pass)
Update Tutorial
1.09
Added support for Aud-X 1.2 audio engine. Use it only if audio is AC3 5ch !!! more information at http://www.aud-x.com/
Here a little report:
STRQ - Streaming Quality - (80 kbps)
STDQ - Standard Quality - (128 kbps)
HGHQ - High Quality - (192 kbps)
SPBQ - Superb Quality - (192 kbps)
Aud-X is an awesome audio format! Is able to encode in 5.1 channel on mp3 format with quality in low bitrate ! But isn't only this ... while decoding, using is directshow filter (freeware !!!) the stream is re-expanded in original ac3 format with full 5.1 channel support (even with spdif out)
Update lame_enc.dll to 3.98 beta2
Update LAVC. Removed -noskip because it can cause broken encoding with many mencoder build
1.08
Added custom compression check. As write in ToolTip:
Specify the threshold % for accept compression test. Es. You write here 75 and check "Only Compression Test" . If Compressione Test will give 74 the encoding is stopped, Else if CT is over 75 the full encoding will start. If you write here 0 only the CT is done regardless of any CT results. If you write here 101 the CT is accepted regardless of any CT results and the encoding restart.
Added the possibility to add custom options to X264 command line encoder (useful for zones...)
1.07
Is now possible to specify crop values in "Credits/Calc/Audio" , examples (please read carefully)
1) Check "Enable manual crop", specify crop values and LEAVE "WIDTH" / "HEIGHT" to "AUTO". The movie will be cropped at specified values and automatic resize routines is used. First is applyed crop then resize.
2) Specify WIDTH and HEIGHT to your preferred values AND DO NOT CHECK "Enable manual crop". Movie will be resized to specified WIDTH and then AUTOCROP
3) Specify WIDTH and HEIGHT to your preferred values AND CHECK "Enable manual crop" AND SET ALL CROP. Movie will be cropped and THEN resized to specified WIDTH
4 If you want to use HGAvsOptimizer then you MUST specify already in resize configuration the width/height like LimitedSharpen(1.25,1.25,640,480,smode=4) ,where 640 is width and 480 is height
1.06
Added in list of subs "Rip ALL SUBS" for subripping all sub
Added a new type of filter. In list of filter you will find def-***. You can create how many preset of filter , put this preset file (take a look at def-test) into filter directory, the file MUST be named "def-" and any name of your choice like "def-fast" or "def-luma" ... This file will be paste at end of filter chain
Is now possible to NOT apply filter in HGAvSOptimizer, just select NONE
Corrected bug using Spresso fuction with HGAvsOptimizer
1.05
Changed WinAmp CT profiles. Now bitrate is displayed and no more Nero's profiles.
If WinAmp CT and "HE-AAC" (not "HE-AAC 5ch" ) profile are choosed then -high option is set
1.04
More robust support for Mencoder (basically bug fixing... bug fixing and more bug fixing :) )
Added support to Spresso fuction by Didee( http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=103299 ). Very good for SPatial REcompreSSiOn
Reorganized filter and resize (only internal modifier, removed 25k of redundant code)
Corrected in log the Profile choosed
1.03
Added preliminary support to Mencoder (only for LAVC codec).
For using Mencoder put mencoder.exe and mplayer.exe into exeencoder folder.
If you use LAVC panel Mencoder/Mplayer is used for all purpose (ripping/encoding video/encoding audio). There only one big warning, isn't possible do do an automatic resolution test... with only mencoder. Look at "AVS CC" if you enable it (is enabled by default) than avisynth is used for creating a compression test script. If "AVS CC" is disabled the you must specify the final resolution
1.02
Update log
If HGAvsOptimizer was used on interlaced source the script wasn't correct.
Now HgAvsOptimizer accept even custom resizer !!! Awesome !!!
Tuned deinterlacer routines (a bit faster now)
Added support for mt_masktools, also update LimitedSharpen script to latest version (with smode 4 support)
Thansk to Berrinam solved problem with MvBob !!! Now if MvBob is choosed this deint is putted before crop
Again thanks to Berrinam for pointing me a correct approach to deinterlace routines !
1.01
Since latest x264 build need at last 32*32 image, update varius routines to this values (mainly interlace detection)
More Tooltip
Update log to indicate subtitle tracks
Added support for --thread-input (new x264 rev 474) (for multicore cpu). Automatic added if threads >1
Update support for CT Encoder
Correct channel order for 5.1 encoding on second audio tracks
Update HGAvsOptimizer. Much better now.
Update to Sharktooth profile's v23
Release Name: MkvMagic 1.00
Added a preliminary support of better deinterlacing rountines. The program, using a simplified version of AutoGk routines (also taken from source_detection from Berrinam), can determine if stream is interlaced or film or telecined or even hybrid. The problems awake only if hybrid film is detected :( ... I haven't much samples for testing /also a big thanks to Special kei for providing some of this) Update (again) parsing of file (from mpeg). If time.avs fail , parsing is done directly over d2v Better calc of resolution. "Strange" values should not more appear :) Added possibility to specify minimum and maximum resolution (due to automatic resolution) 0.99 If parsing d2v FILM % is found over 95% and framerate is 29.97 than Forced Film is appyed on d2v creation Many updates in mkvmagic.log (for better bug's hunting) Correct an ugly error in defalut.avs (bug reported by "Dale") Update to Sharktooth profile's v22 Added a sanity check for very low resolution. If autosize would led to width less than 16. Than final width will be total width/3 For sake pourpose renamed X264 encoding mode "Quality" to "Quality (crf)" 0.98 Fixed error with very big/very small clip size Fixed "Copy Original" when using DTS audio tracks ( bug reported by "Special Kei") Changed (more robust) detection of movie parameter (problem reported by "Dale") Added support for Force Film. If d2v report a % of film over 95% the force film is applyed. (my big thanks to "Special Kei" for spotting the problem and sending a sample for study !!) Added Bit/Pixel support. In "Set MB Size Unit" write "bp=0.xxx" , where xxx are bit/pixel value (like 0.18 or 0.22). This values will be used for calculating bitrate. This bitrate will be used for both single or 2 pass. Actually only applyed to x264 command line and xvid command line I am not a fan of this formula but this is the reward for the first bug reporting (my greatings to "Special Kei" )
0.95
Update profile for muxing AVI. Problems with SA should be solved
Update Sharktooth profile to v21
0.94
WOW ! Added "To Icon" for minimize all program lauched by MkvMagic !!! Please this is an initial release so be carefull and test it ! Now is used only for mkv/mp4/avi rip

0.91
Resolved hangs on HGAvsOptimizer on long movie.
Update HG filter profiles. Feel free to change and suggest better combo
0.90
Added preliminary support for HGAvsOptimizer. Using this fuction all movie will be encoded for finding the best filter settings. Go for tuning in Avs Optimizer. For enabling check "Use HG Avs Optimizer". A big thanks to Dario Genovese for this great utility !!! ( Grazie Dario!!!)
0.89
Optimized "Clean file" option. WOW ! MkvMagic go from 365Kb to 362Kb :)
Now after encoding and muxing MkvMagic will not close, but pop-up again
Added Copyright in MkvMagic Source Code (that is emailed upon request)
Minor Fix (delete temporary parsing file)
Added to Log file what decrypter is used
Only used filters are reported in log
In Log file both dgindex and delaycut command line is reported
0.88
Added support for DVDDecrypter. Go in "CreditsCalcAudio" and choose what decrypter to use
I am forced to remove from package DVDFab Decrypter.
Please put in exe foldervsrip or DVDFabDecrypter or DVDDecrypter
Added a message info if both decrypter weren't found
Already present in 0.87 (but missing update log report... :( ) Now "Sample" is avaiable even for X264.exe
0.87
Finally resolved all problem (i hope !) for ifo parsing. Even for pgc the parsing is now correct.
Attention ! Changing PGC will change audio and subs selection ! REMEMBER THAT THIS CHOICE IS USED ONLY FOR SUBRIPPING. MKVMAGIC WILL PROCESS ALWAYS MAIN PGC. PLEASE CHOOSE MAIN PGC.
0.86
Corrected the filter separator ":" not "," http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=106150
If source is mpeg the audio wasn't correctly SSRC to selected frequence
The ecl for AutoQmatEnc now specify the number of frames (no more false autodetect)
The movie lenght routines now use xvid_encraw. Much faster and less ram to swap
0.85
Update XviD Command Line for work with 20/01/2006 release !
On XviD Command Line is now working single pass, 2 pass, quality encoding.
If XviD Command Line is choose compression test is no more done 2 times
0.84
Update IFO/FILE parsing. Now the temporary file will be created in MkvMagic directory (so if some newby will try to open as input a dvd drive the program will not complain)
Now on DVD (ripped or to rip) MkvMagic will ask to choose PGC. This information is used for SubRipping (for better synchronization)
0.83
Update log file
0.82
Better bitrate calculation for X264
Now X264 compression test is done against a CRF of 18
Now Auto on "Force Mux DAR" will calculate the exact (NON ITU) DAR of movie (for film with DAR between 2.33 and 2.38 the DAR is set to 2.35. I will accept suggestion)
0.81
Added Noise Reduction in X264 options. Also parsed from SharkTooth profile
0.80
Now WriteCMD in X264 panel write batch for both passes
Added support for xvid_encraw
Added support for Anamorphic encoding + SAR signaling (X264/XVID in MKV container)
Resolved bug of copy audio source when input and output directory is different
Added Shutdown option. Will force shutdown at end of encoding
0.79
Is now possible specify for compression test to do encoding in CRF or QP or Bitrate
Added the possibility to specify the maximun resolution to test for compression test. For example if you let auto the compression test is done against full width so the file resulting will be bigger. Bigger file means less final width
Denterlace test is now faster and more saver to use (aka less prone to crash)
0.78
Added --bime option
Bime is now parsed from Sharktooth profiles (tested with 20)
On choose codec setting the application is no longer blocked
0.77
Update Audio routines when mpeg2 is choosed

0.75
Added auto deinterlace option. If you choose "AUTO" a test on 2.5% of movie will be performed and if more than 5% of frames is interlaced the interlaced choosed in Credits/Calc/Audio will be applyed.
Else if you choose a denterlacer or this interlacer will be always applyed. If you choose "NONE" neither test or interlacer will be performed/used
0.74
Quantitizer factor for autosize test can accept decimal value (for XviD)
Output directory is now parsed for space in name. If space is found Mkvmagic will ask for another path
0.73
Update parsing of Sharktooth profiles (test with 19a)
Chapter is also applyed to MP4 container
Bug fixes (mkv muxing)
Reorganized Input Panel

0.63
After much thinking i have adopted BeSweet for all audio encoding pourpose.
This will let out azid.exe/oggenc.exe/lame.exe/ffmpeg.exe and more.
I will use twolame.exe for mp2 encoding, 'cause both mp2enc/toolame isn't stable.
Also i will use delay_fix.exe by JSoto for fixing delay and check correct stream
Is also now possible to encode avi to avi (and apply convertfps() if needed)
0.62
Added support for besweet (not used)
Using Enc_aacPlus for 5+1 AAC encoding (AACEnc doesn't support 4gb+ wave file)

Enable subs in DVD mode.
The subs/audio also get correct language tag description. Subs are converted to sup.
0.32
Is now possible to build a DVD video, with AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders
0.31
Introduced the possibility to to a Costant Quality encoding. Only with HCenc or AutoQMatEnc.
Is also possible to encode in CQ Auto mode. With HCenc or AutoQMatEnc is possible to encode at fixed quant but with a maximum bitrate. In this way a 1 Pass VBR could be processed.
Wiser routines for enable/disable options/box on varius change of encoder/container
Is now possible to specify the max bitrate (when enabled in encoder) used in encoding.
Tooltip for new options
0.30
Introduced the possibility do encode in Mpeg2 format.
Using HCenc or QuEnc or AutoQMatEnc is now possible to do dvd copy (honoring all Law on copyright).
Right now is possible only to build audio (as mp2) and video (as mpv)
The video could be encoded in 2 Pass VBR, 1 Pass CBR or 1 Pass VBR. Bitrate can be manual or automatic
0.22
Varius bux fixes
Otpimized code
Updated AAC audio encoding libs
0.21
Is now possible to let resizer be applyed by QMF(). Take a look at "QMF() Script5" . It is easy:
1') in resize filter choose EDIT but do not write anything (resize box should be blank)
2') choose a QMF filter script with a resizer (in any fuction) applyed
Is now possible to choose more the 4 qmf script. AS LONG AS the first THREE character of filter is QMF , this filter will be used as a QMF function, so with import of QMF script and fuction ! (what you write as qmf filter, as "QMF Script 6" a file with the SAME file NAME must be present in script directory)
Added support for filter DCTFilter
Added support for filter HQDN3D
0.20
Added support for LimitedSharpen
Now on resize list you will find even LimitedSharpen. Feel free to edit the parameters BUT remember that output with/height must be named out_width/out_height , otherwise , after autocrop, will be applyed the width/height specified in edited string.
To test some fun try "LimitedSharpen(1.25,1.25,out_width,out_height,edgemode=-1,3)" (enable edit and choose LimitedSharpen, then edit it by adding "edgemode=-1")
BIG NOTE: if you edit the resizer (whatever resizer is edit) THAT STRING will be applyed for resizing (so no string -> no resizer, only auto crop, take a look at 0.16 upgrade)
0.19
Now Configure codec button is enabled only when is needed to configure Codec
0.18
Solved audio bug with vob input (introduced with 0.17)
Revisited the QMF script. Please take a look at QMF.avs and the new QMF() Script
Now QMF is much more efficent. Feel free to modify QMF() Script ! (my preferred are "QMF() Script4" and "QMF() Script2")
Added the possibility to Delete temporary file. If check is validated all file but final movie (and source movie/audio) will be deleted
0.17
Solved a stupid bug that will ignore AR set by user
Is now possible to choose as input file even file D2V. After choosing this file MkvMagic will prompt two time for choosing till two audio tracks. If you want to process only one audio tracks choose the first and click on cancel on second request.
Added an About box (mainly for Legality use)
NOTE: external audio could be ac3, mpeg layer2 or layer3, wav. NO OGG - NO DTS. OGG audio is compatibly only if Copy Original is choosed as audio codec
NOTE: the d2v file must be compatible with dgdecode.dll it filter directory (as now 1.4.6, DGIndexProjectFile12)
Update fft3dfilter to 1.8.1
0.16
Resolved (after a big hunt) the bug that occasionally crash MkvMagic after encoding , before muxing !!
Added the possibility to edit the Resizer filter. NOTE : if you want to apply autocrop write something like "SimpleResize(640,480)" if DO NOT WANT to apply autocrop write "SimpleResize(movie,640,480)
Fixed bug on DVD input that cause dgindex to spot if ifo file name is malformed (or different from vobset)
If a second encode is lauched after the first one the log window will report only the second log
Update log file (for better debug)
Added Save Default button. If you click this button mkvmagic will save an mkvmagic.ini with main parameter. If mkvmagic.ini is present when mkvmagic.exe is loading the this file will be parsed and loaded
Fixed NeroAACEnc "-If" on second audio track, thanks to Koriyama Naohiro for bug hunting !
Added a sanity check for audio looping. If audio track isn't create the program will not stop trying to convert and continue with other process (fell free to suggest better solutions)
Update Tutorial
1.32
Update deinterlacer routines. Now using BAutoDeint by Berrinam ! My kudos to Berrinam !! Using this application i will able to analyze a precius log and then argue better deinterlace routines
If source isthen this routines is applyed
unknownIf "Enable VFR" is checked than this script is applied tfm(d2v="movie.d2v").tdecimate(mode=3,hybrid=2,vfrDec=0,mkvOut="mkv-timecodesfile.txt") Else no routines is applied
progressiveno routines
interlacedif order is know LeakKernelDeint(order=auto), if order is unknow than TDeint()
decimatingtfm(d2v="movie.d2v").tdecimate()
partly filmtfm(d2v="movie.d2v").tdecimate(hybrid=1)
partly interlacedtfm(d2v="movie.d2v").tdecimate(hybrid=3)
filmForced Film is applyed to d2v, than tfm(d2v="movie.d2v").tdecimate()
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SUGGEST BETTER ROUTINES
Added a check button at side fo Deinterlacer that if checked allow building of VFR MKV file is source in unknow
Added the possibility to add a custom string to xvid command line encoder
When converting mpeg4 (avi/dv/mkv/...) file to dvd audio will be converted using or directshowsource or avisource (before was only directshowsource)
Correct deinterlacer routines in AVSOptimizer
1.31
Update code to allow installatin in path with space. Like "c:program filesmkvmagic" also destination path could contain space
Now when MkvMagic is working a log windows is always ready to watch what is doing. Please don't close this window or mkvmagic will also close... i will correct this bug asap
There no more need to edit defaul.avs. All *.dll present in filter will be loaded
Added MultiSWAR resizer
Added Aften Audio Encoder
Explicited use of NONE in resizer. Select NONE for NO resize and NO autocrop
1.30
Update MkvMagic log. Since the porting to PureBasic 4 the log wasn't immediately avaiable while mkvmagic is runnig. Now is possible to open mkvmagic.log while mkvmagic is running
Added support for DgIndex 1.4.8 beta 3 FILM/VIDEO flag
When encoding end MkvMagic will popup again
1.29

1.24
Added support for encoding ac3 files with aud-x audio engine
Correct only audio encoding with QuEnc
Added Downmixing mode (Original, Mono, Stereo, DLP, DLP II)
Little clean-up of mkvmagic.log
Added support for autodeinterlace with avi input. If you don't want to deinterlace or test deinterlac routines, choose NONE on "Deinterlacer"
Update Lame VBR string, now default command line for VBR encoding is "-v --vbr-new -h -S -V 5"
1.23
Added -ignorelength to neroaacenc parameter
Bug fixings and tweak on audio part (MkvMagic is now a good gui for audio encoding!)
1.22
If final size is equal or bigger than 2GB and if avi is the final container then OpenDML is applyed in muxing
On mpeg4 input MkvMagic will switch to DirectShowSource or AviSource if choosed one isn't fuctional
Added ConvertAudioTo32bit() for sanity purpose into mkvmaudio.avs
If dgindex wasn't able to demux audio mkvmagic will relaunch dgindex on next audio tracks.
If dgindex don't found any audio than mplayer.exe is used to demux audio track selected into wav and the encoded in ac3 file with 192 cbr/2ch setting (only for ts files)
1.21
Totally rewritten from scratch audio part. Dropped support for besweet. Now mkvmagic use avisynth as main audio processor (as megui). Added support for frequency, tempo, pitch and channel.
Added tips for these new fuctions
This encoding is used both for mpeg4 output and mpeg2 output, so please pay attention when converting PAL2NTSC and viceversa
Added support for command line LAME.exe, Oggenc.exe, TwoLame.exe, Aud-X.exe, AAC_CTPlus and NeroAACEnc.exe.
Encoding to AC3 is demanded to QuEnc (and work quite well)
If input is audio file mkvmagic will process it without hiss. Like a BeSweet substitute ! :)
If output is mpeg2 audio file is encoded as 48000hz
Added support for FrFun7 filter
1.20
Automatic set of number of threads at program start, based upon hardware detection
Update QuEnc routines to 0.7
1.19
Update AutoQMatEnc upon choose avs as input (wrong ar in ecl creation)
Update dump of xvid_encraw settings. Upon click on "WriteCMD" mkvmagic will create one or two bat in working folder with xvid settings.
If Mplayer.exe is present into exeencoder folder, mkvmagic will use it for demuxing audio from mpeg4 file (avi/mkv/ogm...). This way is more robust than virtualdub demux
1.18
Again better support for avi input. Is now possible to "Copy Original" even for avi input
Varius bug fixes an avs input and avi input (no more bbmpeg crash on avi parsing..., this shouldn't ever done; no more try to parse d2v on avs input)
Update MkvMerge to 1.70
Added a new folder ( "Matrix" in exe folder )with several matrix for use with xvid.
Added support for -progress options in xvid_encraw

Added support for avs input for conversion to mpeg2
Better avi input. Now audio is saved to wav with virtualdubmod
1.16
Added --no-dct-decimate to x264 options
Added support for Teegedeck XviD preset. These presets could be very handy for a newby lost in xvid command line. Take a look at tooltip next to choice. Link to doom9 forum for discussion http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=107897
1.15
Added an hidden feature: if you write NONE in resize filter (where is lanczos, bicubic...), mkvmagic will neither do autoresize nor apply autocrop or any resize. If enabled HGAvsOptimizer will however autocrop the source
Isn't more possible to edit OGG and Aud-X audio codec BITRATE. Since OGG is based on quality preset and Aud-X on its preset the combo where choose bitrate is "greyed". NO PROBLEM !!! YOU CAN ALWAYS CHOICE FROM LIST
More Tooltip ! (again)... If mouse is over Mkvmagic icon in systray a popup will say what mkvmagic is doing
Added in log the AR calculated as Gordian Knot and the AR error (as Gordian Knot)
Added support for TBilateral and TTempSmooth
Optimized filter code (internal change, 5k code removed)
1.14
Changed "CreditsCalcAudio" panel to "Extra Settings"
Better log if 1 or 2 Pass VFW is choosed
If "Calculate!" (in "Extra" panel) is pressed the bitrate calculate is putted in clipboard (for a copy&paste in vfw codec configurations)
Resolved a nasty bug that could bring very very low resolution on autosize with very short clip (less then 1 minute)
Changed name of AUD-X to "MP3 5.1 Aud-X" due to request of developers of Aud-X (not a big trouble !)
1.13
More complete support for XviD_Encraw. Now is possible to set all single pass and second pass options
1.12
Traced in log the presence of decrypter, mplayer and mencoder
Corrected erroneus warning message about missing decrypter eve if presente (bug reported by riggits)
If DTS audio source is choosed then only "Copy Original" is avaiable as audio codec
Reported in log MkvMagic version
1.11
Added support for AVS input file. No filter or resize is applyed, only HGAvsoptimizer,audio encoding and final encoding
1.10
Added average encoding speed in log report
Added support to generic vfw codec ( like DivX 6 ). In codec list are added two new entry: "2 Pass Manual VFW Codec" and "1 Pass Manual VFW Codec".
!!! NOTE !!!
"Conf. Codec" is enabled if you choose one of these encoding mode.
IF YOU CLICK on "Conf. Codec" you MUST configure one or two pass codec AND this EXACT SETTING (bitrate...) will be used in encoding, both for autosize and final encoding. TIPS: use "Credit/Calc/Audio" for computing bitrate
IF YOU DON'T CLICK on "Conf. Codec" MkvMagic will ASK and you MUST set codec at encoding time, both for autoresize and final encoding. Before autosize and final encoding a message info is displayed for average bitrate knowledge. The only drawback is encoding will wait for your input. Es. choose input, choose 2 pass vfw -> start ! -> indexing -> audio encoding -> ask for autoresize codec config -> ask two time for codec configuration (one for both pass)
Update Tutorial
1.09
Added support for Aud-X 1.2 audio engine. Use it only if audio is AC3 5ch !!! more information at http://www.aud-x.com/
Here a little report:
STRQ - Streaming Quality - (80 kbps)
STDQ - Standard Quality - (128 kbps)
HGHQ - High Quality - (192 kbps)
SPBQ - Superb Quality - (192 kbps)
Aud-X is an awesome audio format! Is able to encode in 5.1 channel on mp3 format with quality in low bitrate ! But isn't only this ... while decoding, using is directshow filter (freeware !!!) the stream is re-expanded in original ac3 format with full 5.1 channel support (even with spdif out)
Update lame_enc.dll to 3.98 beta2
Update LAVC. Removed -noskip because it can cause broken encoding with many mencoder build
1.08
Added custom compression check. As write in ToolTip:
Specify the threshold % for accept compression test. Es. You write here 75 and check "Only Compression Test" . If Compressione Test will give 74 the encoding is stopped, Else if CT is over 75 the full encoding will start. If you write here 0 only the CT is done regardless of any CT results. If you write here 101 the CT is accepted regardless of any CT results and the encoding restart.
Added the possibility to add custom options to X264 command line encoder (useful for zones...)
1.07
Is now possible to specify crop values in "Credits/Calc/Audio" , examples (please read carefully)
1) Check "Enable manual crop", specify crop values and LEAVE "WIDTH" / "HEIGHT" to "AUTO". The movie will be cropped at specified values and automatic resize routines is used. First is applyed crop then resize.
2) Specify WIDTH and HEIGHT to your preferred values AND DO NOT CHECK "Enable manual crop". Movie will be resized to specified WIDTH and then AUTOCROP
3) Specify WIDTH and HEIGHT to your preferred values AND CHECK "Enable manual crop" AND SET ALL CROP. Movie will be cropped and THEN resized to specified WIDTH
4 If you want to use HGAvsOptimizer then you MUST specify already in resize configuration the width/height like LimitedSharpen(1.25,1.25,640,480,smode=4) ,where 640 is width and 480 is height
1.06
Added in list of subs "Rip ALL SUBS" for subripping all sub
Added a new type of filter. In list of filter you will find def-***. You can create how many preset of filter , put this preset file (take a look at def-test) into filter directory, the file MUST be named "def-" and any name of your choice like "def-fast" or "def-luma" ... This file will be paste at end of filter chain
Is now possible to NOT apply filter in HGAvSOptimizer, just select NONE
Corrected bug using Spresso fuction with HGAvsOptimizer
1.05
Changed WinAmp CT profiles. Now bitrate is displayed and no more Nero's profiles.
If WinAmp CT and "HE-AAC" (not "HE-AAC 5ch" ) profile are choosed then -high option is set
1.04
More robust support for Mencoder (basically bug fixing... bug fixing and more bug fixing :) )
Added support to Spresso fuction by Didee( http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=103299 ). Very good for SPatial REcompreSSiOn
Reorganized filter and resize (only internal modifier, removed 25k of redundant code)
Corrected in log the Profile choosed
1.03
Added preliminary support to Mencoder (only for LAVC codec).
For using Mencoder put mencoder.exe and mplayer.exe into exeencoder folder.
If you use LAVC panel Mencoder/Mplayer is used for all purpose (ripping/encoding video/encoding audio). There only one big warning, isn't possible do do an automatic resolution test... with only mencoder. Look at "AVS CC" if you enable it (is enabled by default) than avisynth is used for creating a compression test script. If "AVS CC" is disabled the you must specify the final resolution
1.02
Update log
If HGAvsOptimizer was used on interlaced source the script wasn't correct.
Now HgAvsOptimizer accept even custom resizer !!! Awesome !!!
Tuned deinterlacer routines (a bit faster now)
Added support for mt_masktools, also update LimitedSharpen script to latest version (with smode 4 support)
Thansk to Berrinam solved problem with MvBob !!! Now if MvBob is choosed this deint is putted before crop
Again thanks to Berrinam for pointing me a correct approach to deinterlace routines !
1.01
Since latest x264 build need at last 32*32 image, update varius routines to this values (mainly interlace detection)
More Tooltip
Update log to indicate subtitle tracks
Added support for --thread-input (new x264 rev 474) (for multicore cpu). Automatic added if threads >1
Update support for CT Encoder
Correct channel order for 5.1 encoding on second audio tracks
Update HGAvsOptimizer. Much better now.
Update to Sharktooth profile's v23
Release Name: MkvMagic 1.00
Added a preliminary support of better deinterlacing rountines. The program, using a simplified version of AutoGk routines (also taken from source_detection from Berrinam), can determine if stream is interlaced or film or telecined or even hybrid. The problems awake only if hybrid film is detected :( ... I haven't much samples for testing /also a big thanks to Special kei for providing some of this) Update (again) parsing of file (from mpeg). If time.avs fail , parsing is done directly over d2v Better calc of resolution. "Strange" values should not more appear :) Added possibility to specify minimum and maximum resolution (due to automatic resolution) 0.99 If parsing d2v FILM % is found over 95% and framerate is 29.97 than Forced Film is appyed on d2v creation Many updates in mkvmagic.log (for better bug's hunting) Correct an ugly error in defalut.avs (bug reported by "Dale") Update to Sharktooth profile's v22 Added a sanity check for very low resolution. If autosize would led to width less than 16. Than final width will be total width/3 For sake pourpose renamed X264 encoding mode "Quality" to "Quality (crf)" 0.98 Fixed error with very big/very small clip size Fixed "Copy Original" when using DTS audio tracks ( bug reported by "Special Kei") Changed (more robust) detection of movie parameter (problem reported by "Dale") Added support for Force Film. If d2v report a % of film over 95% the force film is applyed. (my big thanks to "Special Kei" for spotting the problem and sending a sample for study !!) Added Bit/Pixel support. In "Set MB Size Unit" write "bp=0.xxx" , where xxx are bit/pixel value (like 0.18 or 0.22). This values will be used for calculating bitrate. This bitrate will be used for both single or 2 pass. Actually only applyed to x264 command line and xvid command line I am not a fan of this formula but this is the reward for the first bug reporting (my greatings to "Special Kei" )
0.95
Update profile for muxing AVI. Problems with SA should be solved
Update Sharktooth profile to v21
0.94
WOW ! Added "To Icon" for minimize all program lauched by MkvMagic !!! Please this is an initial release so be carefull and test it ! Now is used only for mkv/mp4/avi rip
Tuned bitrate calcualtion for x264
Solved problem for non 48khz for OGG 5+1
0.92
Varius Buxfixing of HGAvsOptimizer.
0.91
Resolved hangs on HGAvsOptimizer on long movie.
Update HG filter profiles. Feel free to change and suggest better combo
0.90
Added preliminary support for HGAvsOptimizer. Using this fuction all movie will be encoded for finding the best filter settings. Go for tuning in Avs Optimizer. For enabling check "Use HG Avs Optimizer". A big thanks to Dario Genovese for this great utility !!! ( Grazie Dario!!!)
0.89
Optimized "Clean file" option. WOW ! MkvMagic go from 365Kb to 362Kb :)
Now after encoding and muxing MkvMagic will not close, but pop-up again
Added Copyright in MkvMagic Source Code (that is emailed upon request)
Minor Fix (delete temporary parsing file)
Added to Log file what decrypter is used
Only used filters are reported in log
In Log file both dgindex and delaycut command line is reported
0.88
Added support for DVDDecrypter. Go in "CreditsCalcAudio" and choose what decrypter to use
I am forced to remove from package DVDFab Decrypter.
Please put in exe foldervsrip or DVDFabDecrypter or DVDDecrypter
Added a message info if both decrypter weren't found
Already present in 0.87 (but missing update log report... :( ) Now "Sample" is avaiable even for X264.exe
0.87
Finally resolved all problem (i hope !) for ifo parsing. Even for pgc the parsing is now correct.
Attention ! Changing PGC will change audio and subs selection ! REMEMBER THAT THIS CHOICE IS USED ONLY FOR SUBRIPPING. MKVMAGIC WILL PROCESS ALWAYS MAIN PGC. PLEASE CHOOSE MAIN PGC.
0.86
Corrected the filter separator ":" not "," http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=106150
If source is mpeg the audio wasn't correctly SSRC to selected frequence
The ecl for AutoQmatEnc now specify the number of frames (no more false autodetect)
The movie lenght routines now use xvid_encraw. Much faster and less ram to swap
0.85
Update XviD Command Line for work with 20/01/2006 release !
On XviD Command Line is now working single pass, 2 pass, quality encoding.
If XviD Command Line is choose compression test is no more done 2 times
0.84
Update IFO/FILE parsing. Now the temporary file will be created in MkvMagic directory (so if some newby will try to open as input a dvd drive the program will not complain)
Now on DVD (ripped or to rip) MkvMagic will ask to choose PGC. This information is used for SubRipping (for better synchronization)
0.83
Update log file
0.82
Better bitrate calculation for X264
Now X264 compression test is done against a CRF of 18
Now Auto on "Force Mux DAR" will calculate the exact (NON ITU) DAR of movie (for film with DAR between 2.33 and 2.38 the DAR is set to 2.35. I will accept suggestion)
0.81
Added Noise Reduction in X264 options. Also parsed from SharkTooth profile
0.80
Now WriteCMD in X264 panel write batch for both passes
Added support for xvid_encraw
Added support for Anamorphic encoding + SAR signaling (X264/XVID in MKV container)
Resolved bug of copy audio source when input and output directory is different
Added Shutdown option. Will force shutdown at end of encoding
0.79
Is now possible specify for compression test to do encoding in CRF or QP or Bitrate
Added the possibility to specify the maximun resolution to test for compression test. For example if you let auto the compression test is done against full width so the file resulting will be bigger. Bigger file means less final width
Denterlace test is now faster and more saver to use (aka less prone to crash)
0.78
Added --bime option
Bime is now parsed from Sharktooth profiles (tested with 20)
On choose codec setting the application is no longer blocked
0.77
Update Audio routines when mpeg2 is choosed
Now Destination path is placed on input directory (when input is choosed)
0.76
Added two small button at each side of filter choice. If you click these button the scrip selected will be opened with notepad. Useful for checking qmf script !
Temporary hc.dbs file create by HcEnc is now automatically deleted after encoding
Update manual to 0.75
Better parsing of AR from d2v
0.75
Added auto deinterlace option. If you choose "AUTO" a test on 2.5% of movie will be performed and if more than 5% of frames is interlaced the interlaced choosed in Credits/Calc/Audio will be applyed.
Else if you choose a denterlacer or this interlacer will be always applyed. If you choose "NONE" neither test or interlacer will be performed/used
0.74
Quantitizer factor for autosize test can accept decimal value (for XviD)
Output directory is now parsed for space in name. If space is found Mkvmagic will ask for another path
0.73
Update parsing of Sharktooth profiles (test with 19a)
Chapter is also applyed to MP4 container
Bug fixes (mkv muxing)
Reorganized Input Panel
Changed the size of media input. Now, as in calc/bit, there are varius preset (1cd, 2cd, 3cd,1/6dvd...). Is possible to write down the size however (like 50, for 50 mb)
Added MotionProtectedFPS() for framerate conversion (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...9&page=1&pp=20)

Update MkvMerge to 1.6.5.4 (SSE2 build, if your processor isn't sse2 capable, substitute mkvmerge.exe with all mktoolnix contents)
Parsing of Script folder. Now you can put in script folder your script. At next start of MkvMagic the script will be automatically avaiable
Added a new button for writing avisynth script. This button will write the avisynth script based on filter choosed. For writing go in "Avisynth Extra" and click "Wr", the script file is movie.avs. NOTE that AR will be wrong
0.70
Is now possible to drag&drop input file (in input string)
Resolved crash of AviMux_Gui/Mp4Box when no audio is selected

Is now possible to process uncompressed avi (Thanks Rickee!!!)
Resolved bugs using 1 pass with X264
0.67
Now if choosed Quality or Quantitizer (for X264.exe) the bitrate combo is populated with default values
Now MkvMagic will search application directory in its folder.
THERE MUST BE PRESENT: BeSweet / DOC / exe / filter / matroska / profiles / script / Tutorial folders
0.66
Added language tag to audio when muxing into mp4
Is now possible to choose per mp3 audio encoding ABR or CBR
Is now possible to specify at witch Quant the compression test must be done (both for XviD or X264 VFW and Command Line)
0.65
Whenever you change container the audio choice will be reset to default (mp3 128)

Added FastPSkip option (will be parsed from Sharktooth' profiles)
0.64
Update log for BeSweet
BeSweet don't correctly parse frequency settings
Returned MP4Box into Matroska folder (and btw updated to 1.6.5+subs fix)
Introduced AAC audio settings in "Credits/Calc/Audio" panel. Used for tuning AAC encoding (or for choose WinAmp CT over Nero 7)
0.63
After much thinking i have adopted BeSweet for all audio encoding pourpose.
This will let out azid.exe/oggenc.exe/lame.exe/ffmpeg.exe and more.
I will use twolame.exe for mp2 encoding, 'cause both mp2enc/toolame isn't stable.
Also i will use delay_fix.exe by JSoto for fixing delay and check correct stream
Is also now possible to encode avi to avi (and apply convertfps() if needed)
0.62
Added support for besweet (not used)
Using Enc_aacPlus for 5+1 AAC encoding (AACEnc doesn't support 4gb+ wave file)
Now if you choose encoding in 5+1 (ogg/aac) , the wav file is always deleted
Moved Mp4Box into executable directory
Tuned up the autoresize settings for x264 (target Q=19)
Now checkmedia.txt,dvdinfo.txt and other files used for parsing is deleted

Is possible to specify the avsi to import
Is possible to write a command script both before resize and after resize filter
0.43
Added Trim option. Is possible to either trim source file or encoded at fixed quant
0.42
Is now possible to specify crop parameter
Is now possible to specify resize parameter
0.41
Is now possible to manual tune autocrop parameter. Pay attention, what is writtend is used by application
0.40
Is now possible to choose how to parse avi (and now ogm/mkv) file: using AviSource or DirectShowSource.
Default is on DirectShowSource
Is now possible to convert avi input in mpeg2 file
Tuning of mpeg2 encoding profiles
0.37
Using Avisource is now possible to add as source file avi
0.36
Update Avi_Mux-Gui at 1.17.4
Update Lame to 3.97 beta 1
Is now possible after a DVD encoding with DVD mux to build an iso-dvd for later burning
If enabled Delete temp.file and Build ISO, the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS previusly created are deleted.
Now if mpeg4 as container is used all option used for mpeg2 encoding are disabled
0.35
Is now possible to delete all temporary file even for mpeg2 encoding
0.34
Is now possible in mpeg2 mode to encode only audio or only video (with no muxing)
Better disabled/enable option for mpeg2 routines
0.33
Enable subs in DVD mode.
The subs/audio also get correct language tag description. Subs are converted to sup.
0.32
Is now possible to build a DVD video, with AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders
0.31
Introduced the possibility to to a Costant Quality encoding. Only with HCenc or AutoQMatEnc.
Is also possible to encode in CQ Auto mode. With HCenc or AutoQMatEnc is possible to encode at fixed quant but with a maximum bitrate. In this way a 1 Pass VBR could be processed.
Wiser routines for enable/disable options/box on varius change of encoder/container
Is now possible to specify the max bitrate (when enabled in encoder) used in encoding.
Tooltip for new options
0.30
Introduced the possibility do encode in Mpeg2 format.
Using HCenc or QuEnc or AutoQMatEnc is now possible to do dvd copy (honoring all Law on copyright).
Right now is possible only to build audio (as mp2) and video (as mpv)
The video could be encoded in 2 Pass VBR, 1 Pass CBR or 1 Pass VBR. Bitrate can be manual or automatic
0.22
Varius bux fixes
Otpimized code
Updated AAC audio encoding libs
0.21
Is now possible to let resizer be applyed by QMF(). Take a look at "QMF() Script5" . It is easy:
1') in resize filter choose EDIT but do not write anything (resize box should be blank)
2') choose a QMF filter script with a resizer (in any fuction) applyed
Is now possible to choose more the 4 qmf script. AS LONG AS the first THREE character of filter is QMF , this filter will be used as a QMF function, so with import of QMF script and fuction ! (what you write as qmf filter, as "QMF Script 6" a file with the SAME file NAME must be present in script directory)
Added support for filter DCTFilter
Added support for filter HQDN3D
0.20
Added support for LimitedSharpen
Now on resize list you will find even LimitedSharpen. Feel free to edit the parameters BUT remember that output with/height must be named out_width/out_height , otherwise , after autocrop, will be applyed the width/height specified in edited string.
To test some fun try "LimitedSharpen(1.25,1.25,out_width,out_height,edgemode=-1,3)" (enable edit and choose LimitedSharpen, then edit it by adding "edgemode=-1")
BIG NOTE: if you edit the resizer (whatever resizer is edit) THAT STRING will be applyed for resizing (so no string -> no resizer, only auto crop, take a look at 0.16 upgrade)
0.19
Now Configure codec button is enabled only when is needed to configure Codec
0.18
Solved audio bug with vob input (introduced with 0.17)
Revisited the QMF script. Please take a look at QMF.avs and the new QMF() Script
Now QMF is much more efficent. Feel free to modify QMF() Script ! (my preferred are "QMF() Script4" and "QMF() Script2")
Added the possibility to Delete temporary file. If check is validated all file but final movie (and source movie/audio) will be deleted
0.17
Solved a stupid bug that will ignore AR set by user
Is now possible to choose as input file even file D2V. After choosing this file MkvMagic will prompt two time for choosing till two audio tracks. If you want to process only one audio tracks choose the first and click on cancel on second request.
Added an About box (mainly for Legality use)
NOTE: external audio could be ac3, mpeg layer2 or layer3, wav. NO OGG - NO DTS. OGG audio is compatibly only if Copy Original is choosed as audio codec
NOTE: the d2v file must be compatible with dgdecode.dll it filter directory (as now 1.4.6, DGIndexProjectFile12)
Update fft3dfilter to 1.8.1
0.16
Resolved (after a big hunt) the bug that occasionally crash MkvMagic after encoding , before muxing !!
Added the possibility to edit the Resizer filter. NOTE : if you want to apply autocrop write something like "SimpleResize(640,480)" if DO NOT WANT to apply autocrop write "SimpleResize(movie,640,480)
