AVxCAT (ex FFmpegCA-GUI)

AVxCAT replaces FFMPEGCA (Convert All) developped on ce2mp3 idea on which I participated. I used some code of it but added a lot of mine code to build a more powerfull expert GUI. * Warning * If you close with UDP: as target, audio icon button is disable at start. Modify target folder to enable Audio icon again New version V2 2.2.0.0 FP2 * WCC (webcam crontrol GUI) included * prereqs.exe alpha5 (list missing pre-requisits or optionnals, provide a html list with active links or get older web link through help) included Note1: generate a listing (enabled), download packages (enabled - requires curl), install package (not yet enabled, use manual package installation) Note2: Before first installation/start of AVxCAT, run this tool first and install missing packages which makes AVxCAT settings easier. Note3: Use prereqs to change or set system default browser - a few small design issue - mark no more changes personnalised icon (for most audio / video entries) - network availability updated - codes under video advanced dialog - select new picture (invalid disable state for audio to video slideshow - advanced function) - video advanced function (slideshow), filetype filters not restored to audo/video filters - video advanced function, flip, rotate + sub options, sharpness didn't provide an accurate image display - video advanced function, More video aspect recognized to get an accurate visual (Default uses the correct aspect is recognized or '*' beside an aspect to identify it as default) - video advanced function, using now 'done' on sharpness setting for faster positionning - video advanced function, enabled some minor options previously banned ! - Audio to video with pic could provide incorrect output (bad video result) - added missing parameter - Updated initial AVxCAT start for a better program detection using path statement - litle reduced high length RMB menu entries (used collapse/expand) - aiff doesn't use audio player (for play) - rewrited process starting advanced video function - corrected a regression code preventing writting to the author - video advanced function: thumbnail from displaied picture have a more accurate size and using flip/rotate settings - rare cases with incorrect video extension / codec * Changes follow - added video thumbnail as icon in the main process dialog (default extract time=2s) - Added video EA's thumbnail added to the output video (can be disable using --wps parameter) - replaced tortle by new sliders with integrated comments - added a [Default all] button to set all audio players to the default one - [ Go ] button renamed to [ Run ] button - replaced generating MU3* file under internal filemanager command code - changed player run command code - media filters process updated (included default model if none) - audio with embeebed pic will use it if no external corresponding pic is found under video \ advanced - added Include overlay [Picture into video] or [video into picture]. Reverse option checking [V.in] checkbox (corner side selectable + logo resize (none, 5%, 10%, 15% , 20% of video height) "parameters Menu") e.g. add a video speaker in a corner to described current displaied presentation - added U_pic to use overlay function (use PNG pictures with transparent background using picture in video) - added user centered watermark (opacity and resize available on all location) - added parameter --wps 0 / 1 (enable/disable write CWMM or EAS icon - Defaut enable) - added parameter --tnt 0 to 10 (time in seconds to capture a video thumbnail for EAS icon - Default 2s) - added parameter --wup 0 / 1 (enable / disable AVxCAT update availability at startup - default=1) - added 320x180 & 640x360 (9:16) + 320x240 & 640x480 (3:4) *WARNING* only usable on vertical videos (e.g) convert a classic video to vertical: add video into the list, use advanced and set Rotate + cclock(or clock) + portrait - Added webcam supported video stream for overlay functions Note: doing picture overlaied by a webcam stream, fps may be low. For better quality, do it in 2 process, record webcam stream and then do overlay - Changed: webcam parameters can be updated when AVxCAT has webcam control else webcam should be on Audio/Video syncro can be controled through webcam -itsoffset parameter. Following are default values for normal webcam recording or webcam+overlay Default -itsoffset 1.50 for video Default -itsoffset 0.2 for audio (default webcam recording) or Default -itsoffset 1.40 for video Default -itsoffset 0.65 for audio (with overlay process) - Optimized webcam video quality to satisfy good quality when downsizing video through overlay Note1: How to create a nice presentation movie ? Take one flowshart, recorde speaker description (e.g. smartphone in 9/16) - Select the video into the main process list, select U_pic and then, parameter->Include overlay-> specify location, size and check [V.in] to invert Overlay source and take video to overlay an image. (opacity is available too), once done, push set button, Select an output format, mark the video and RUN. First flowshart page is now done with integrated presentator video. Proceed to next flowshart and as final, concatenate all together 2.1.1.2 GA - few correctives - Icon/Design aligment updated - updated M3U or M3U/S relative path playlist generator (internal filemanager) - Added M3U8/S relative path playlist genertator (internal filemanager) - Added w64 support [limited to max 24bits] (sony wave) - PM123 compatible - Opened internal filemanager via files, allow popupmenu on folder to WPS open itthem 2.1.1.1 GA [FP3] - Icon/Design aligment updated - Added M3U or M3U8 (writable into extended format [--m3ux 0/1 parameter] ) fullpath generator (main container - selected audio tracks) - corrected drdialog box result after stop avxcat following update download - Corrected M3U or M3U8 extension used - AVxCAT cddb parameters updated and added option to not create *.query file out of AVxCddb - Remain: popupmenu to create/remove folders when called from Chg 2.1.1.0 GA [FP4] - Severals correctives - Option to disable generated .query out of AVxCddb - Added update availability check (red message if exists) - Updated AVxCAT get updates function 2.1.1.0 GA - Enabled support to call AVxCddb for cddb datas (simplified build of cddbGUI using AVxCAT ini file) - Added a few improvements (use of local cddb faster...) - cddblib required for best use - Corrected "get update" option - Corrected some minor code processes 2.1.0.3 [GA FP2] - Added Audio tracks supporting attached picture as well wav tracks get icon EAs for WPS rendering if jpg albumart exist or was downloaded (winico.exe required for this option - converts winico out of ffmpeg to os/2 ico 64:64) - New main popupmenu option (with wawe.exe installed) - Edit elligible audio file (cut, multi-cut, save etc...) - if discid cover was already downloaded thru add discid, the corresponding icon into the main list will change to the existing one at add time (can be disable/enabled using parm --imbai 0 or 1) - show downloaded discid cover thru add discid has now an integrated window instead of the drdialog prompt command - Added option to accept or ignore/reject found discid cover - Added option (if enabled --mbindex 0/1) to add discid index (limited number) from database if proposed album-art is rejected - Added New default path for downloaded covers using discid - Added parameter to change default path for downloaded covers to output path (--fld 0/1 [Disable/Enable]) - Added option to switch from profile dropdown list to Icon pre-fixed profile buttons - Added Selected iconbutton profile is saved at AVxCAT file/exit - Added Possibility to use customize iconbutton profile (user of external cfg file) - Added last Audio/Video icon-profile used saved if using file/exit menu - Added [X] "delete" option for user created profiles under [New profile] button - Added "Create folder(s)" & "delete folder" under internal filemanager called by [Chg] button for target folder - Added "M4A" alac - Added "MOV" - Added MD5 package used to autocheck downloaded updates (through AVxCAT menu) - New ffmpegca.dll - Optimized parameters when involving leech (USB CD-ROM, grabbing private CDs) - corrected: a wrong video profile - corrected: some video option may use incorrect video extension - corrected: hung could occure when cdd2wav reads a track having lot of jitter (changed a fixed parameter) - included a process to prevent cdda2wav hung on very rare CD's having problems or difficulties with most cddb tools - Updated compatibility for metadatas/Tracks Titlle file generated under PM123 or querycddb (reworked at fp2) - Somme minor corrections - changed a few webcam -> UDP initial settings -fix of webcam bug included note: Get new fixpack using AVxCAT "get update" option (run help -> "get update" at initial installation) zip file provides one or more files to be replaced while wpi is a full install/replacement (e.g. release upgrade) 2.0.1.1 - Fixpack 1 (25/08/2023 DD/MM/YYYY) - Corrected bug from 2.0.1.1 making webcam recording fail (AVxCAT crash) 2.0.1.1 - Corrected long source path could result into a hung situation - Corrected (processing audio folder source to video convertion) - Corrected (--edit fullpath_2_editer) not changing default text editer (e.exe) - Updated a main process - few minor bugs 2.0.1.0 - Minor corrections (fp3) - some optimized process (ex: using cddb_query.exe) - Corrected bad regreation code - added option to get album-art by discid number - Add(if)cover + audio mode uses album-art icon as success icon (if found else as before) - add 2 new parameters to switch search web engine (used for txt to speech) and disable new success icon 2.0.0.1 - Many corrections as well installation issues fixed - Many new features - Profiles renamed - Webcam support - PDF doc updated etc...

An incorrect value was saved instead of the correct drives to list options. 1.4.1 - Added support of ffmpeg "normalize" function available since ffmpeg V3 (the volume level is than the corresponding normalize output volume) note: ffmpeg normalize works on video files too (to enable it, switch to audio + advanced, set ffmpeg normalize on and switch to video again) - Added popup message during normalize process - Now "aiff" tracks under an added "dir" into container are processed too - corrected a problem when "max." is found in returned ffmepg string during video size check - corrected a problem when loading auto saved audio list - corrected a problem processing "dirs" under new ffmpeg build 1.4.0 - this is a major update - Added support for ffmmpeg v2.1.5 as well for ffmpeg v3.0 and 3.0.1 (current available ffmpeg build) - Available codec selection under AVxCAT operational - AVxCAT issue beginglibpath for selected ffmpeg to use its \lib available dlls's ( this allow having more than one ffmpeg version under the system - If commun ffmpeg Dll's were put into a folder under libpath, it can be removed - verify having libpath starting with " c:\usr\lib;c:\ecs\dll;c:\os2\dll .. " - change c to your boot drive ) - Multi-thread supported since ffmpeg 2.1.5 with a new added option under "parameters" allowing number of threads to use* - Added possibility to enabled debug log parm on ffmpeg v3.x - Added option to allow empty container video list after successfull conversion - Added support of VP9 (ogg or opus) with corresponding ffmpeg v3.0.1 having these codecs enabled (could be checked under help) - changed video profiles list to new more commun used profiles and added a few ones - of course, user can always create his own profles - If ffmpeg isn't enabled for some specific codecs, the corresponding entries are flagged [Not enabled] - Changed help display - Added several help about selected ffmpeg under AVxCAT (version, encoders, decoders, formats, codecs..) - Added the possibility to use a user command file including some commands which could be issued just before or after ffmpeg start conversion - Re-worked internal filemanager to prevent possible crash and made it respondiong faster - Added a popup message to tell if [add] file in the container list was done as well some other informal messages - Now, speed location in the video from under video advanced option is very fast - Added new options under video advanced dialog available with ffmpeg v3.x : - rotate video ( 90ø clock, -90 clock etc.. ) - vertival flip - horizontal flip - portrait / landscape mode All these options can be used together including sharpness, crop setting. - Added support of "aacgain, wavegain, mp3gain, vorbisgain" (must be under AVxCAT path) undependant of ffmpeg version used to allow "normalize" process - more work planned on this part according new ffmpeg possibilities with Volume used to set final output volume when one of these option is enabled - modified some dialog sizing and text positionning for a better rendering according screen size and video driver ! - Now, AVxCAT does an autosave of the currnet media in the copntainer list when closing AVxCAT. It is propose to restaure them at next restart - Added new message when ffmpeg is unable to get enough memory (32bits limits) to process the video ( mostly due to big output size ex: 1920x1080 ) - When playing a video via KMP (the one to use for presentations), a message opens to asked what to do if associated xml file is found - When using ffplay as player, a help dialog opens with available hot keys function - corrected switch process between audio / video - corrected many bugs found during heavy tests - some more minor bugs corrected and may some not found yet !

Each picture will have the same show display time you can select changing Frate (e.g 3s is the result of 1/3 = 0.333) Select an input AUDIO file (required), switch to "view" "video" and select using RMB on the default picture one of the created incremental pictures. To change default diaporama setting, switch to user mode and change output type only Always use: * size = Default * Maps = Default * Bitrate = sameq To create a diaporama without sound, create a silent MP3 file with the needed diaporama time - diaporama validated on single file processing - FFMPEG is no more called from a batch CMD file but from an exe using created input parameters saved into a TMP file.
