Settle down children! Love and respect one another.

Sherman, thank you for checking in your code and for reporting the DV marking bug. I noticed that gaps correction is not working for DTS in fast mode (AC3 is OK). Can you look into it please? Great speedup BTW.

Not too shabby for a 7-year-old hoomin.

Sherman, did you solve the quantum measurement problem yet?

Thank you, Sherman, for the DTS fix for fast mode. Now I see that LPCM is demuxing differently between fast and slow modes. Please check it out. Looking good!

Sorry I took so long for the LPCM fix. It's all better. Bullwinkle had me laying floors for a week!

Typical disk demuxing the LPCM track:

slow mode 3:45
fast mode 0:35

Anyway, I just have to add the following and then you can let it out to the wild:

* THD and embedded AC3
* PGS
* preallocation
* garbage stripping option

Shouldn't take too long. However:

But Mousie, thou art no thy-lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men
Gang aft agley,
An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain,
For promis’d joy!

Sounds great, Sherman. I confirmed that the LPCM is fixed in fast mode.

I don't see any problem. Would you be able to explain why you think there is a problem?

Propping up straw men is a not-so-subtle form of rhetoric to be eschewed. I refer of course to the quantum measurement straw man.

Does that mean hard to swallow?

@Rocky

Got PGS demuxing working in fast mode. The fast and slow demuxed SUP files are binary identical. Now have to do THD and embedded AC3. Then a little cleanup and we can give it out.

There is enough supported to fully demux La Notte (Criterion). Here are the timings for demuxing everything:

slow: 5:00
fast: 1:19

That's a 3.8 times speedup!

If you can do better, Nattie, bring it. Otherwise, stand down.

Thank you Bullwinkle. I really appreciate your support! And Levi too.

I have the first half of THD working, that is, the do-not-split-THD is working. Now working on splitting out the AC3 stream.

Now I have THD splitting working. All stream types are now working in fast mode. Still gotta do:

* preallocation
* garbage stripping option
* check that all DELAY values are correct

I see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Nattie, how is your implementation coming along?

Girls and boys! Rocky gave me permission to release an alpha test version of the fast mode implementation, so here it is:

http://rationalqm.us/dgdemux/binaries/D ... t_test.rar

Notes:

0) To run in fast mode, hold down the left SHIFT key when pressing the Show or Demux buttons. If you use DGDemux.exe directly, include the option '-fast'.

1) I haven't found an efficient way yet to do filler NALU stripping for AVC video, so you will see a difference (which is inconsequential) between the demuxed video in slow and fast mode in this case. The fast code simply processes transport packets one-by-one and has no concept of anything that spans multiple packets (such as NALUs); that's what makes it so fast.

2) All other streams should be bit identical in slow and fast mode.

3) All file names should be the same between slow and fast modes, so change the output name if you want to do both ways to compare (without leaving the GUI).

4) Garbage stripping is not yet implemented.

This is the hardest thing I ever did, including laying floors and installing appliances, so I mighta goofed something up. Your testing and feedback will be greatly appreciated. Enjoy!

Mr Peabody and I are off to visit Albert Einstein again, as there are some loose ends regarding Lorenz invariance I want to clear up, and I want to persuade him to join the forum. See ya in a while!

Tested using 4K version of Wonder Woman

external HDD >> internal SSD
normal 16:00
fast 9:31

suspected that HDD was a bottleneck so I copied the movie to an internal SSD

internal SSD >> internal SSD
normal 8:57
fast 2:59

edit
folders containing each set of the demux were identical in size

Thank you for the testing, gonca. The ideal situation is SSD->SSD with enough free space to ensure all the preallocations succeed. That's where we see 3-4 times speedup.

The directories will not be exactly the same size when there is AVC video containing filler NALUs (not your case). I have been demuxing into two subfolders (fast and slow) by changing the output path. Then get in the folder holding those two and open a DOS prompt. Execute:

fc /b slow\* fast\*

That will compare all the files. If you have the AVC video with filler get that out before running the compare, or you will be inundated with output.

I have tested two disks so far and all is well. Will test more today.
