revA posted now.... small issue w/ subs

D3s7 - Great job with this release.  All the issues i had with .26 seem to be solved in .27revA.  Excited to see the BOV development.

Nice work d3s7. Thanks for the ssubcolor adjustments and color options. So far it all seems to work fine.

Wow BOV creation support? Cool!
Does that mean that very soon now we can make a full backup of The Matrix without authoring it ourself?
Just a regular Big3 backup without any intervention (except for the normal actions)..

Nice work indeed
Keep it up !

Wow BOV creation support? Cool!

ATM it's just highlight creation and I think we still have a long way to go, since scenarist isn't very forgiving when it comes to BOV. But hopefully we'll have an automated way to do it soon

couple of little things... the BoV tick to show it's enabled doesn't update immediately, although i thing the choice does, u have to close and then re-open scenaid to see if it has changed. and an even smaller thing, it creates ScenAid26.SCP and i guess it should be ScenAid27.SCP now

gonna try some BoV stuff with it now and see how it does

good job! the more i use the more i like it. i have a small feature suggestion -- a button or a check to ignore .nocce files on script creation.  from my experience more ofthen then not they do not contain anything and end up being a pain in the butt when you compile in scenarist.  up to date i've just been renaming the .avs'es and rebuilding and reimporting the .scp.

I think you can just delete the avs' prior to running Scenaid if you don't want them included.

well i understand that, mls.  as luck would have it i find out that i have those files after i've started the mux process and it errors out some 99% into it.  of course if i was less lazy i would reauthor seamlessly branched dvds with 100+ vobids and subs to boot all by hand.

well done on the new version.

Unfortunately, I have run into problems straight from the first movie of using it. To be precise, I'm working on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre extras disk and after importing flawlessly into Scenarist, when compiling, I get an error regarding a dummy file. Unfortunately I didn't copy the error log, however it was something like this :

Error Can not read a GOP at 00:00:00;09 (try to read = XXXXX B; read done = XXXXX B).
Error Please check the video stream (e:\Scenaid\dummy_pal_16_9.mpv) or the .vif file or re-generate them.
Error dvd_mux : DoMux Multiplexing Error
Error Terminated Multiplexing (XXXXX-XXXXX.vob).
Error Can't read the input stream.
Error Multiplex is failed.
Info Multiplexing failed, Tracklt;VTSXX_XXXXgt;

Error MuxFromDB:MuxVTS failed
Error Multiplex failed
Error DVD files could not be created

I then installed Scenaid .25, recreated the .scp script, imported into Scenarist and everything was flawless. So I guess it's a problem with the latest build.

I'm really sorry I didn't get to keep the original error message though to help you out more.

I had some dummy problems as well, or problems with no-cee files. All real short sequences. What i do in these instances is create my own short video clips. depending on the number of frames I usually take a small piece of the main movie. You can just create an avs files with a trim command in it trim (0,25) will give you a 25 frames clip for example.

I recreate the track manually with the small clip. Can be helpful in situations things won't work inmediately.

yes the error is corrected !!!
but i have this when scenaid generate the script for scenarist !!

Procedure Name:GenerateData
Module Name:ScriptGenerate

Error Number:13
Error Description:Type mismatch

Error Line:50

Just tried on Mummy Returns (new superbit version) PAL, all OK except subs imported in black (outer and inner edge, 100% black), i changed to dark grey outer 100% and light grey inner 100% and they look like the original. I think there's been an issue with this before and it was fixed, haven't seen this happen for a long long time, lmk if you want logs.

Cheers ears

Chubs

no-cce files are a real pain... even the newer versions of dvd2avidg still don't accuratly report the frames...

I'm looking into other ways to get an accurate framecount from these

f_speedy: I'll need to look into this error and let you know

chub : make sure you have quot;Use Original Palettequot; checked... if your have either of the Scenarist Palette's selected then this is exactly what you'll get

Tried BoV with Big Fish R2 and it didn't make any highlights. gonna try The Matrix R2 later today and see how it does

the bad thing is.. some no-cce files wont compile even manually imported  without error (too many frames to be a still and too few to fill a vobu) . it would be nice to have an option to auto replace them with a nice generic safe black still

D3s7:

Same error that f_speed. Just adding that Scenaid crashes just after this error. It produces a 1 kb script. Lemme know if you need something

burnout : are you using the new vsrip/vsconv?? those are required for highlight creation... check if you have a .bov file and that it's not 0length.. if it is there is no highlights found

Bilbo/Fspeedy :Ok.. i found the problem causing the errors... and should have it resolved soon... shoot me your email addresses and I'll shoot you something to test

Trahald : yeah... i'll add something allowing a user to quot;deselectquot; specific video files and replace w/ dummies..

i send my email to your pm !!!!

i make a new test with the film finding nemo and i see a new error but it is not the fault of scenaid !!!i think !!!
but with the previous version  the isn't this error : when doitfast4u launch scenaid for generating the script for scenarist, the working folder in scenaid have a fault =gt; the real folder is E:\Travail and in scenaid it is E:\travail] !!!
i don't know from where the ] come !!!
