If I remember correctly, the specific problem was the installer for the premiere avs import plugin. It does not specify a value for the setmemorymax file by default, and so if you don't fill one in, it causes the error to occur.

Makes sense, the only reason I thought the 4GB addresses might be the problem was because of others saying they were running Vista x64 without any problems.

I just felt like it needed some kind of follow up because (stupid me not actually reading this thread and going to the search to look) I couldn't find anything explaining how to fix this until I happened to notice that and I was beating my head against the desk trying to figure it out.

As of today I have plenty of time on my hands, so if you're interested in my help I'd be glad to update articles or script for AMVapp. Just tell me where help is needed most and I'll start working on it.

As an update to the failed tests at the end of the Vista (x64) installation, there seems to be something directly wrong with mplayer2 rather than what the tests are testing for.

Code: Select all
 Problem Event Name:   APPCRASH
  Application Name:   mplayer2.exe
  Application Version:   6.4.9.1125
  Application Timestamp:   3d45eb02

  Exception Code:   c0000139
  Exception Offset:   0006ecfb
  OS Version:   6.0.6001.2.1.0.256.1
  Locale ID:   1033
  Additional Information 1:   9d13
  Additional Information 2:   1abee00edb3fc1158f9ad6f44f0f6be8
  Additional Information 3:   9d13
  Additional Information 4:   1abee00edb3fc1158f9ad6f44f0f6be8


That's the full error. Tbh, I wonder if it might not make more sense to try and check things with a different player, or at least add in that library it seems unable to find. Perhaps it was deemed obsolete? Or it could have siimply been moved to a different location as well...

Will the AMV app work in WinXP64 or Vista64? Adobe is going to be releasing Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 64bit on Sept. 23rd :shock:

the 3.0 beta release does indeed work on XP 64-bit. The only app that doesn't run is Zarx264gui. I can't speak for Vista 64.

I was hoping to have a new version out by now, but things have gotten really busy for me. With luck, a new one will definitely be out by the end of the year though.

I've posted up an updated version of Zarx264gui at http://zarxrax.kicks-ass.net/
This is a major update but is almost completely untested at this point, so I recommend you don't actually encode any AMVs with it at the moment. I would like people to test it out though and let me know of any problems with it, or suggestions for improvement. I forgot to update the tooltips on the buttons, so don't mention that :p

First and foremost, thank you so much for your work on this. Its people like you that keep me coming back to amving.

In the part of the guide concerned with deinterlacing footage before editing (progressive.htm) the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th paragraphs are very helpful. However, it doesn't specify if you need to decimate using TDeint (or other deinterlacers for that matter). After reading the entire guide, I found myself somewhat confused as to what is what concerning IVTC or deinterlacing one's source footage. Granted, I haven't tried really hard to understand the theory guides (though I have read them), so that might be the problem. Does one decimate only if they're IVTC'ing, or do you decimate when deinterlacing as well?

Thanks ahead of time.

You decimate only when IVTC'ing.

Zarxrax,

I know your primary focus with Zarx264gui is high quality encodes for web distribution, but do you think you could add an option to encode for mobile devices using reduced resolutions and baseline profiles?

With devices like the iPhone, PSP, and T-mobile G1 on the market I think there might be growing interest in adding such a feature, whether it be as an additional distribution option or to convert an existing collection.

AMVapp ResizeCalculator.jar Error ?

Postby Tiiscool » Thu Oct 30, 2008 5:27 am

Hi,

does the ResizeCalculator change something in a file called:
".java.policy" ?


I make some applets and get always an errormessage:

java.security.policy: Fehler bei Analyse file:/C:/Dokumente%20und%20Einstellungen/Admin/.java.policy:
Zeile 4: erwartet [;], gefunden [}]

Translation
java.security.policy: Error with analysis file:/C:/Dokumente%20und%20Einstellungen/Admin/.java.policy:
Line 4: expected[;], found [}]

Regards,
Ti

Corran: at a time I had considered this, but my conclusion came to be a solid no. There are simply TOO MANY different devices out there for me to try and figure out what settings can support all of them. Zarx264gui is primarily for AMV creators to encode their own amv for distribution, and so far, I havn't seen anyone distributing their amvs in formats designed specifically for mobile phones or other devices.

For someone who wants to watch amvs on a certain device, they would probably want batch encoding too, which I don't plan on adding either. So as it stands, if someone wants to encode for a particular device, they are better off getting something like megui/ripbot/staxrip which includes 50 bajillion different profiles for them to choose from.


Tisscool: yes, it does. I don't know what would cause that error or how to fix it. I would ideally prefer the next amvapp to have a different calculator, because I dislike java.
