vgtmpeg 1.4.62 is out: now faster and more featured

alberto — Fri, 25 Oct 2013 23:55:16 +0000

We just released a new version of vgtmpeg 1.4.62 with a wealth of fixes an improvements. Upgrading to this version is highly recommended specially for those people who use the DVD and BluRay features. This is the official changelog for this release:

- fixed report duration from DVD parsing. some DVDs were reporting wrong length
- libdvdread messages are now only seen when set logging to verbose
- fix important issue with some DVDs where a whole cell would be skipped
- DVD urls are not reported with / slashes
- speed improvements when opening DVDs with lots of titles (30+)
- libvpx bumped up to 1.0.0
- bluray now much richer with chapters, language on audio tracks

Bluray input is now vastly improved and much more integrated into vgtmpeg/ffmpeg. For example metadata available in Bluray like chapters, language tags is now passed to the output format (mp4,mkv..) if the format allows it. This was available before on DVD inputs too.

vgtmpeg 1.4.62 has been synced up with the lastest version of ffmpeg which now includes a native bluray folder parser. vgtmpeg’s seems however to more featured. This release contains both bluray parsers so you can use whichever one you please.

As always this release comes precompiled and ready to use for Windows, MacOS X and Linux and available in intel versions for both 32 and 64 bit. That’s a total of 6 platforms! phew

vgtmpeg 1.3.22 released with Bluray support!

alberto — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 21:00:47 +0000

vgtmpeg 1.3.22 is the initial release to bring Bluray support into vgtmpeg. BD support is still experimental and not as mature as DVD support. Be sure to try it out and let us knows of problems you may find.

In order to use BD folders you specify your input BD folder using the ‘bd url protocol’ like this:

> vgtmpeg -i bd://path_to_bd?title=5 outfile

You can learn more about how to use bluray urls and download vgtmpeg in the project homepage

vgtmpeg 1.2.11 released

alberto — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 23:47:12 +0000

vgtmpeg 1.2.11 adds Xvid as a supported encoder. After some testing it has become clear to me that the stock MPEG4 encoder is of rather poor quality, and for those who are still targeting MPEG4/MP3 on AVIs seemed like adding a rock solid MPEG4 encoder was a necessity.

There is more though…

Xvid 1.3.2 seems to support multi-threaded encoding so I spent sometime making sure that threading support was enabled in all platforms. They also seem to have some hand assembly done for both x86_32 and x86_64 so speed should be pretty decent across the board.

Another interesting addition in vgtmpeg 1.2.11 is that now the audio metadata found in the IFO files of the DVD is passed through to the stream metadata architecture of libavformat. This has nice side effects:

some output muxes, like mp4 and mkv will now fill in correct language information straight from the DVD on the respective audio output tracks. I’ve tried this with VLC and seems to work well.

And last but not least,

Happy Christmas to everybody
