Thank you Fengtao

Thank You Very Much Fengtao

Thankyou Fengtao and Ting. You guys just keep rolling along. We appreciate it.

Thanks for all the work

Thank You Fengtao

Using option DVD to Mobile/generic generates still bugs with a simply AMD CPU. No chance given to send a bug report.
2 Pass conversation not working. Only time counts up. 1 Pass idx/sub now DFDFab Platinum 3.1.3.5 beta closed itself
at the end of process, no subfiles written. Wondering that 1 Pass worked fine with original discs in 3.1.3.3 beta.

Am i the only one with those probs ?

I have an AMD Opteron Dual Core processor and I have had no problems, but I have not yet tried the new beta. I will try and post back.

I'm getting ready to test with my Zen. I'm ripping to my HDD right now. That's what i do first then encode. Seems to have better results getting audio and video in sync.

Hi Thanks for the new Beta, however I`m also have the problem of only one pass in Generic mode, have tryed setting in 2 passès , but always reverts to the default one pass mode!
Cheers Bollux

Thanks alan1476, but i have only older 32 bit AMD Sempron 1,6 Ghz with Original Win XP Pro. Sorry, those situation gives some frustration inside me, because older versions did this really better. Thanks again for your time.

[EDIT] Hope, that no others have any probs

Hey Guys

Thanks for the latest update.

... Thanks Fengtao, Ting.

Using PVP my Zen is spot on with audio and video I've never used Generic setting though.

Just a heads up for anyone that doesn't think that these software developers stay on top of the game. I just counted 47 updates since I started archiving them on November 12 2006 (3010) till today June 21 2007 (3125).
I don't know of anyone that keeps their software updated that well. Thanks Fengtao and Ting for all your hard work.
I've had the program longer than this, but didn't start archiving till then.

I have 60 updates (counting betas) since September of 2006. You are right on - no one keeps their software as up-to-date as Fengtao and Ting. Many thanks!

Thanks Fengtao and Ting.

Keep up the good work Fengtao

- New: Added VOB passthrough extraction. You can find the device "vob" in "Generic" mode.


Can you implement the extract subtitle idx/sub when do a vob passthrough?

what's the difference in plat and beta versions.

Thanks Fengtao

Saludos

Brilliant work, Fengtao and Ting!

Many thanks to you, and the rest of your team, for all the hard work you put into updating DVDFab like this. Greatly appreciated.

My two daughters send their regards and thanks as well.

See you later then, and thanks again. Jim

Thank You for the Nintendo DS support!

However there are som kind of problem with the converted files.
I'm not able to play them in the Nintendo Ds player or in the the pc-based
player. The error I get is "Can not decode GSM audio"

If you want to try, you can download the file "moonshell171_with_dpgtools13.zip" which includes a windowsprogram "dpgshow.exe" here:

hi, DS-DPG

Please try the new beta 3.1.3.6, I do some fixed for the dpg file support, but strange thing is the app "dpgshow.exe " always show my mp2 stream in dpg as gsm stream.

I use another dpg player can play this file correctly, the player is DPGPlayer. because I have not a NDs, so I cannot try it in the NDS. please try it or maybe you know some information about this problem, please tell me.

Thanks.

Hi Ting,
thanks for your work!

The problem with the converted file is still there, the Nintendo Ds is not able to play the converted file. (as you noticed, you get the same problem with dpgshow.exe and dpginfo.exe).

Ok, I have been doing some hexediting and I have found that you only have to change one byte in the header to make it work. The sequence "02 00 00 00" should be changed to "00 00 00 00".

Since i had my nose in the file I found out that the DPG3-version have a 48 byte header and it includes a GOPlist feature which can be nice to have...

Not Working:
44 50 47 30 - DPG0
CB 0E 00 00 - Number of frames = 3787
00 18 - Frames per second = 24
00 00
00 7D 00 00 - Audio sample rate = 32000
02 00 00 00 - 00 00 00 00 (this was the number of audio channels, now deprecated in favor of MP2 audio) ***
24 00 00 00 - Start of audio = 36 i.e. right after the header
80 8C 26 00 - Lenght of audio = 2526336 byte
A4 8C 26 00 - Start of video (36+2526336) = 2526372

[GOP List]
The Group Of Pictures (GOP) list of a file is the last section of
a DPG file. It consists of an array of a "FrameIndex" and "Offset"
pair, both are read as an unsigned 32 bit value from within Moonshell.

The use of the GOP list, within Moonshell, is when requesting a
jump to a certain frame. In the case when a GOP list exists, it is
searched in order to find the frame within the GOP list lower than or
equal to the requested frame. (The search in Moonshell requires the
GOP list to be ordered. Also a trivial optimization was omitted,
namely to break out of the search loop once the GOP frame number is
larger than the requested one.)

So, to get clean seeks, I would put I-frames from the MPEG stream in
the GOP list.
