I'll take that as a no. Oh well. I accept your judgement, and I thank you for considering my ideas. :)

DGDecNV build 238 will not run but 236/237 do

No, I'm using Windows 7. I'm just pointing out that you could kill two birds with one stone, as the last non-VC++ 2019 build was also the last "XP officially supported" build, according to the binaries update notification thread. Of course, if you don't care about those two birds, or you don't have ...

DGDecNV build 238 will not run but 236/237 do

Ah, phooey. I've had trouble with newer VC++ runtimes causing crashes in programs relying on older VC++ runtimes. I guess I should have kept closer tabs on the update situation. Of course, since I'm an old paying customer, I don't suppose I could trouble you for a link to slipstream 221? ;) I still ...

I just finished reading the binaries update thread. You've been busy these last few years :scratch: I see you're building DGIndexNV with VS 2019 now. Do you need the VC++ 2019 redistributables for x86/x64 to run DGIndexNV now? I didn't see any mention of needing extra libraries.

I don't think I'm in quite the same boat as the XP diehards. I'm at least one lake over. ;) I built this rig in 2014, got everything working, and haven't seen a major need to change things since then. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is an excellent motto for computer usage if you want to avoid unn...

I guess there are driver limitations, too. Is there a minimum nVidia driver version required for DGDecNV 2053? If there is, I don't see it listed on the main site. I'm still using 2048 with the same drivers I've been using since 2014, as everything "just works", so I'm a bit afraid to try 2053. ^^;

Now somebody is going to say what about XP? Now that DGDecNV is free, could you perhaps take the latest version that can reasonably be expected to work on XP and add the binary to the download page as "DGDecNV Windows XP Final"? I'm also on Windows 7 these days, but I always appreciate when develop...

Downscaling and Colorimetry

Thanks for the reply. I guess my main question is: DGIndexNV reports just "Colorimetry", but x264 has three different settings. As a rule of thumb, if the source doesn't specify anything, so DGIndexNV just reports a guess based on the resolution, you shouldn't specify any of those flags in the downs...

Downscaling and Colorimetry

Hi Don, I have a question regarding the "Colorimetry" field reported by your tools. As I understand it, HD (720p+) video uses BT.709, while SD video uses various standards, depending on the source format. DGIndexNV will report e.g. "Colorimetry: BT.709 [1]*" for HD, where the star means BT.709 is as...

Hey Don, long time no see! I went with Noctua for my CPU and case fans on my current rig, and it was a great decision. They're so quiet, especially compared to my old Dell that sounded like a jet engine all the time. :lol: It looks like you'be been busy since I last checked in. :o I suspect Boris wa...

Re: PAL to NTSC telecining

What about if you omit menus? BDMV has many arbitrary restrictions that don't apply to stand alone video files, e.g. the low consecutive B-frame cap.

Re: PAL to NTSC telecining

Yikes, thanks for that bit of information. I always buy the UK DVD/BD for PAL shows, because I'm not confident that the NTSC conversion will be handled properly, and I want the original video format, anyway. I wasn't sure if this was necessary for BD, because the standard should allow them to just u...

Re: PAL to NTSC telecining

Unless you have to target DVD-Video as your output format, I don't think there's any reason to do any of this anymore. HDTVs support all framerates regardless of region, so if you have a Blu-ray player, you can just leave the video as 25 fps and burn it to a DVD-R in a MP4 or MKV container and play ...

Re: PAL to NTSC telecining

Yep. The audio matter is more complicated these days, too. In the past you could usually assume that the audio had just been slowed down from 25 -> 24 fps, thus changing the pitch and tempo, so you could simply speed it up to 25 fps again to restore the pitch and tempo. These days it's possible to f...

Re: PAL to NTSC telecining

I actually encountered the "other" way of doing it some years ago. You can tell it's not very common, because mkvtoolnix wasn't able to handle it properly by default, but Moritz Bunkus was able to fix the bug after I reported it to him. What you do is slow 25 fps down to 25000 / 10001 (24.975) fps, ...

The radical solution is to get government out of it completely; let private enterprise fund things. I would argue that this would cause the opposite of the desired effect. The least reliable studies are funded by corporations with a vested interest in specific outcomes. If corporation x funds a stu...

It wouldn't be too slow. I just haven't implemented it. Do you have a clip that clearly shows its advantage? I'm afraid not.

Is that because it would be too slow? I usually enable pattern guidance on Telecide when I know the material is of a particular type. It seems like a worthy option to keep, IMO.

Here's hoping for native Linux versions once Windows 11 proves to be so full of spyware that nobody will use it, thus forcing us all to look for a different OS. ;)
