GUI for dvdauthor/MuxMan (Version 1.07)

Version 1.07 of "GUI for dvdauthor/MuxMan" (GFD)

Overview: GFD was written primarily to get captured television broadcasts comfortably into a DVD conform format. Naturally you can use the program also for MPG videos of other origins, however no typical functions for copying DVDs (e.g. ripp, transcode...) are contained. To burn the final DVD use your favorite burning program, or simply that one, that was included with the DVD burner. GFD provides only the necessary VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders (as well as the VOB and IFO files). These can be burned with any DVD - burn program (UDF - ISO format). Problems with stand alone DVD players have occurred very rarely so far, however I can't give you a warranty. Since version 0.82 it is possible to burn also from GFD itself if Nero (version 5.5 or higher) is installed. Since version 0.99.2 also Imgburn is supported.

I tried to simplify the creation process for two typical cases as much as possible:

1. One titleset with homogeneous movies (concerning resolution, aspect...) as one has it e.g. with series. Here only one main menu with a selection of the films is provided, without own chapter menus (chapter marks may be used nevertheless).

2. Two (or more) titlesets with potentially different characteristics (concerning resolution, aspect...) per film. Here each film is put in its own titleset, where a chapter menu can be created (multi VTS DVD).

The program uses predominantly a drag & drop philosophy: Films (thus video streams), as well as chapters (in the titleset menus) are pulled on the menu background and can be positioned by drag with the left mouse button. With the right mouse button you may change some characteristics (font size, typeface, colors). Only the last added film can be deleted again = stack principle. The entire structure is shown in the "explorer view" window. As background picture for the menus the file default.jpg from the GFD directory is used by default. You may overwrite this file with any own JPG file.
The whole program is pixel-oriented, therefore the window has a fixed size of 1000 x 700 pixels. In the SOURCE window you can start a preview of the video with a double click, here you can also create screen shots to be used as pictures in the menus. The preview is based on the Windows Media Player, therefore all restrictions are accordingly. In particular the time indicator is not correct (specially for elementary streams). The program accepts elementary streams (these are multiplexed with mplex during the final creation of the DVD) or ready multiplexed streams, however the streams have to be multiplexed with mplex and the - f 8 option, otherwise they will not be accepted by dvdauthor.
Since version 0.99.2 it is possible to use MuxMan to create a DVD. MuxMan accepts elementary streams in DVD compliant resolution only. But it is faster in this case. If dvdauthor or MuxMan should be used has to be set up before any video is imported.
The program creates batch files for all single steps, these may be edited and then started "by hand" in a DOS window (Create batch) otherwise these batch files are started from GFD itself (Create DVD). The messages from dvdauthor, spumux... are shown in a log window and also saved to a log file. If you like to know more about the syntax of the XML instruction files, have a look to the dvdauthor manual and doku or the MuxMan documentation on the mpucoder page respectively.

Installation:
If you have problems with the installation like this:

Setup cannot continue because some system files are out of date on your system. Click OK if you would like setup to update these files for you now. You will need to restart Windows before you can run setup again. Click cancel to exit setup without updating system files.

please click cancel install VBRun60SP6 first, then retry the installation of GFD afterwards.

For installation I would recommend the following:
- 'Beginners package': Unzip and install Avisynth with SetupAvisynth.exe, then start SetupGFD.exe.
- 'By Setup': Unzip and run the SetupGFD.exe program.
- 'By Hand install': Install first the dvdauthor windows binaries (as well as MuxMan.exe if you want to use it) in a directory of your choice and put the files from GUIforDvdauthor.zip into the same directory. You may choose a different directory also if you set the correct path to the dvdauthor.exe in the default settings of GFD.
Remark: The conspawn.exe file is only necessary for W98/ME and should be ignored for W2k or XP or Vista.
If you use W98/ME you must put the conspawn.exe file into your windows home directory in order to run GFD properly.

If you get an error with 'Save/Load Project' you may need the updated XML Parser from Microsoft.

If you want to use animated menus, a correctly installed Avisynth (version 2.5.7 or higher), the mpeg decoding package DGMPGDec and an encoder HC (version 0.19 or higher) or QuEnc (version 0.71 or higher) are necessary (if you use the 'Beginners package' these programs are automatically installed during the GFD setup).
DGIndex, DGDecode and HCenc/QuEnc have to be installed in the same directory as the dvdauthor windows binaries.
The HC encoder is usually named with version (like HCenc_019.exe, HCenc_020.exe...) To use HC with GfD rename the program to HCenc.exe (independent from the version).

After the first start of GFD click on "Default Settings" and check at least the path to the dvdauthor.exe program. Furthermore you can select some other default settings, e.g. output path, the standard character font, colors, appearance of buttons... There are a few settings (whether you want to use titlesets or not, PAL or NTSC, dvdauthor or MuxMan...) which cannot be changed after the first video is imported (except you delete the film again).
Also very important is the output directory. You may select one or create a new one. Please make sure that this directory has enough space (~5GB for a full DVD; if you use elementary streams: 10 GB)

You should test the program with a few short streams in the beginning! No function warranty!

Download: GUIforDvdauthor normal setup (5.2MB; dvdauthor + MuxMan included, GDI+ and VB Runtime necessary))
GUIforDvdauthor full install (7.3MB - incl. VB-runtime, dvdauthor, MuxMan and GDI+)
GUIforDvdauthor EXE (and help) only (2.9MB; VB Runtime, GDI+, dvdauthor windows binaries and MuxMan necessary)

Update to version 1.07 (from version 0.88 or later)
GUIforDvdauthor107 EXE only (1.3MB contains only the new GUI_DVDauthor.exe, ChapEditGFD.exe, GFDGifTool.exe, sub2png.exe, and conspawn.exe; conspawn.exe is only for W98/ME)
Changes are described in History
Remark: You should also update the dvdauthor windows binaries to version 0.6.14-GfD-2A!
For animated menus also an update for Avisynth (version 2.5.7), DGIndex (version 1.4.8), QuEnc (version 0.71) and/or HCEnc (version 0.20) may be necessary.

Thx to Rainer (PinnacleFanBoard) for all these collections!

Remark: To use these collections unzip the gif files into the \GUI for dvdauthor\GifMask directory (GifMask subfolder of your GfD installation directory). Since version 1.05 you may also use any other directory and enter this directory in the GfD settings.

Dvdauthor + Mjpegtools windows binaries (mingw) version 0.6.14-GfD-2A: Dvdauthor_winbin (2.1MB) Thx to ssbssa for this version!
Remark: This version includes some "unofficial" patches see History!

The changed source code is now maintained by ssbssa. You can download a script with all patches here: dvdauthor-0.6.14-GfD-2
Source code of sup2png: sup2png_src.zip
Sup2png is a VB6 port of pxsup2dast. It uses GDI+ to compress the png files, is more stable and supports all 16 colors with variable transparency.

Required: GDI+ (already included in WinXP and Vista, for W2k/W98/ME the necessary DLL may be downloaded from MS:
Redistributable GDI+ (the GDI+ dll is also already contained in the 'Full install' and the 'Beginners package' downloads)
For animated menus you will need: Avisynth (version 2.5.7 or higher), DGMPGDec (version 1.4.8 or higher) and HC encoder (version 0.20 or higher) or QuEnc (version 0.71 or higher).

Beginners package:
This package includes all necessary files, but please only download it if you really need all these files/programs.
(For Vista/WinXP/W2k/W98: With VB-Runtime, dvdauthor, MuxMan, HCenc, Avisynth, DGMPGDec, GDI+)
GUIforDvdauthor XP install (10.0MB)

Other recommended software (not necessary to run GFD but useful)
VirtualDub or VirtualDubMod
Mpeg2Schnitt or Cuttermaran
Media Player Classic (i.e. to check the final DVD structure before burning)

For 3D-Text and/or animations (no freeware, but you may use the BluffTitler Demo without a time limit):
Cool 3D or BluffTitler

- Timeline is shown and fast forward/reverse possible for audio only titlesets

-- Thanks to C. Patel who created a small program (insnav) to add the necessary navigation packs

- Insnav may also be used for still menus with audio => better 'behavior' on some (but not all) SA players

- New size presets (better fit / less interlace artifacts)

- New setting: No menus (in response to many requests...)

- Moving of elements (Buttons/Images/Animations) with cursor-keys possible

-- Use shift + cursor-keys to move elements with raster

- New check box: Loop with jump menu (fixes the shortening of loops for PowerDVD and some SA players)

- New check box (video file dialog): Autostart subtitle - starts the movie with the first subtitle stream switched on

- ChapEdit uses white as standard color within the crop settings (usually you want to get rid of black borders... easier visible now)

- ChapEdit has a new check box: 'Create as 00:00:00.000'

-- Only selectable with 'No chapters' also checked and automatically untagged after usage.
May be used to save a clip or image as videofile_00_00_00.000.bmp/vob to avoid the (often only black) start frame. Should be used AFTER automatic chapter methods, otherwise the 'special' videofile_00_00_00.000.bmp/vob is overwritten with the 'standard' one

- Bugfix for switched menus with more than 5 buttons

- The highlight type: 'Gifmask only' may be set as default within the settings
