Hacking DPG Settings for the latest moonshell

[skullstatue]

I haven't really had too much time to test the latest version of moonshell, but it seems to be more flexible with the DPG movies it allows you to play. I know MoonLight has implemented some new code to make them run smoother and sound better, but I was wondering what you guys set your DPG settings at. I would appreciate three different encoding categories: High Quality, High Framerate, and High Compression. Thanks guys, I appreciate your help in advance!

P.S. Everyone probably knows this but always use BatchDPG, it results in much, much higher quality.....

Thank you, you don't mind me asking where to download BatchDPG 1.3 beta 4, I'm still using 1.0....

I'm getting an error in BatchDPG:

Line 0

Error: Unable to execute external program

The System cannot find the file specified.

Is this caused by avisync or something????
Or do I need to extract the file somewhere in particular?

Edit: I copied it over the BatchDPG 1.0 seems to works fine now, it just isn't showing the progress bar correctly (or it's still at 0%).

Edit: It's running extremely slow, even at highest CPU settings, encoding one episode is going to take at least two hours, is this normal?

Edit: It took it two hours to complete a 20 minute episode of Eureka Seven, when it finished converting the video I got the same error message again, and the resulting file isn't a playable format.... Is anyone getting errors similar to this???? Any help is appreciated, I'm sorry for bothering you guys so much.

 

[Deaddy]

that kind of time isn't normal unless you have a real slow machine. and the file isn't normally playable on your pc so that's normal. I'm not sure about the error part.

 

[skullstatue]

I know, it's not a DPG format, the files are still split and my computer is a P4 with 2gigs of RAM. Is the new BatchDPG working alirght for you? And is the quality way better than BatchDPG 1.0? I really wanted to get this to work

How many passes are you using?

 

[skullstatue]

1 pass, I've tried almost all of the basic combinations, but I keep getting the same error....

Complete errors:

Do you have any codec packs installed? If so, which?

 

[LS5]

The file fischju linked to is only a BatchDPG executable, it needs separate components to work correctly. First install http://ls5.cydonianknight.com/index.php?do...v1.3_beta_4.exe, and optionally place the new executable in the installation directory. There have been reports of BatchDPG v1.3 beta 4 output having synchronisation problems, and the new executable may or may not fix this. My microSD card seems to have died on me, so it's going to be a tough job for me doing any further testing on this matter for a while.

Note: the progress bar is broken in the new executable due to a new version of the compiler. I'll try to find out why this happens. If I can't find out, I'll just keep using an older version of the compiler.

oops, i havent downloaded it yet so i didnt know =\ You need to update the first post in the thread with these links, they are hella hard to find

 

[skullstatue]

Thank you guys, it's working great, I'm sorry for the bother.

 

[fischju_original]
