1.08.1 filter editor inserts before trim(). Bug?

andy

I was testing some encoder settings in 1.08.1 with SelectRangeEvery(1200,12) added in the Filter Editor window. I noticed some of the segments were only 1-frame long, so I took a look at the .AVS files prepared by DVDRB:

Code:
#------------------
# AVS File Created by DVD Rebuilder
# VOBID:01, CELLID:02
#------------------
LoadPlugin(quot;C:\Program Files\DVD-RB PRO 1.08.1\DGDecode.dllquot;)
mpeg2source(quot;G:\DVDRB WORKING\D2VAVS\V01.D2Vquot;,idct=7)
SelectRangeEvery(1200,12)
trim(510,9160)
ConvertToYV12()
I noticed that DVDRB is adding my filters before the trim statement. Isn't this incorrect behaviour? I remember older versions adding filters after the trim() statement, and the filter editor window states:
Any text entered below will appear in all AVS files after the trim() statement and before any resizing or color conversion.
Its not a bug. It was changed so filters like temporal smoothers would work correctly.

For more take a look at this thread.

Thanks, I see now why it was changed.

It seems that there is a subset of filters that are best placed after trim(), and a subset that are best placed before trim(). Maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in on this.

Regardless, since I am using SelectRangeEvery(), running consecutive encodes requires manual, time-consuming modification of each segment AVS file after each prepare phase. IMO, this is a step backwards in terms of usability (but a step forward for users of temporal filters  .)

For this reason, I humbly suggest to jdobbs that the filter editor include two entry fields: quot;Insert before trim()quot; and quot;Insert after trim()quot;. An explanatory text could advise the user which general type of filter should go where.

Any thoughts?

You can't use the SelectRangeEvery() filter with DVD-RB.  It changes the framecount and that isn't allowed.

Ooop, thanks for the info, I didn't know that.
