this is good news, been able to convert the mpg file without the need to use windows media encoder
and its faster and less cpu intensive and will run on vista/w7, as its not command line driven
lots of different ouput formats too, even .ipod (did not know about that one!), even .mpg4
.flv can be played in WDL , which will be handy
I have a demo program working in the new compiler
just now need to purchase the component and get a test program working
You’ll be my WX PC’s best mate when this up & running, especially as I’ve just added Digital Atmosphere to the list of software it’s running. =D>
This is GREAT news - cant wait to try it. Right now I have a work-around via Windows Scheduler to do the job in W7 64-bit. (It manually runs encodenew2.bat with admin rights.
more good news, I got the demo working for converting pictures to a movie file (mp4), from a list of filenames (so would not need to first copy the files to a different directory (will save time and cpu/disk)
and so also dont need to use the separate moviemaker.exe program, which has the problem of needing to briefly appear on screen ,as well
I have just done my first test run with the new moviemaker zip download and had complete success with a .wmv create and upload to my website. I will keep and eye on things during the day and let you know how things progress, but so far so good.
Many thanks for this, as my PC has had a specific problem otherwise in making a wmv movie for some while (This after a re-installation post megga crash)
Edit: Just noticed that the moviemaker exe prog didn’t close post upload…is it supposed to remain open in the system tray?
Edit2: The final line in the FFVCL 3.0 demo says “executing the ftpupd.exe program now and closing”. However, it didn’t close the prog!
I downloaded zip from your previous link (I hope/think it was a different zip!) and ONE symptom still much as before.
The Moviemaker “Demo of FFVCL 3.0…” icon remains in system tray at end of run and DOESN’T close. Opening the sytem tray icon reveals at last line of (scroll down) quote: “executing the ftpupd.exe program now and closing” unquote…However, it isn’t closing although FTP does take place.
Enjoy your camping with the kids…you sure wouldn’t be doing it here at the moment as we have had quite deep snow for some weeks now.
EDIT: After re-examination of my websites some text above was modified.
The flash/swf now DOES produce a flash file and DOES appear to upload (I have both SWF and WMV requirements ticked for a test requirement)
The new Moviemaker prog is incredibly fast at producing the .wmv files and must be x10’s of times faster than the old prog… :D…It seems to make a really huge reduction/difference in computer resource requirements. Additionally there is no takeover of the screen (no keyboard etc) as was noticeable on the old prog with my PC. This is all looking good Brian, for when the few problems which are bound to surface, have been sorted.
