Maintaining aspect ratio with ffmpeg transcoding

[zehd]

I have finished the pre-pre-release of ZProcess. Hopefully, some of you can benefit. It's on the wiki. My download files are in my personal webspace, and the links are on the wiki too...

This is a front-end or GUI (Graphical User Interface) for several other utilities already available on the GB-PVR wiki. In one way, it acts similarly to a PostProcessing.bat that includes: ReTime, ComSkip, ComClean, Transcode, and Rename.

But it also acts as a launching pad for several other related features. Please see below for what’s available, and what my intentions are to make available. Please feel free to make suggestions…

More info is here:

As this will mostly benefit MVP users for the moment, I'm calling out to Strong, Hearty 'Beta-Testing for Breakfast' MVPers to help me...

If you are going to try it. Please read most of the wiki page. Most importantly is the file naming. (ZProcess = ffmpeg.exe, FFmpeg = fmpeg.exe)

Please PM me and tell me you're trying it. And let me know if you are PAL or NTSC, and what Revision of MVP you are using.

And lastly, if you have success, tell me the Transcoding details you ended up going with, (PAL, 640x894, etc...) and the speed of your computer, RAM...

Good Luck to all.

(And now,....., let the bugs fly!)

NOTE! July 8, 2006

If you have already tried this out, I have made a major change to how the program saves to the registry. Previous to July 8, settings were saved in the Local_Machine hive. Now it’s using the Current_User hive.

Before updating the ZProcess Program file, make note of any settings you saved previously.

* (If you lost those settings anyway, you might be able to look them up with regedit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ZERITECH\ZProcess )
