AvTech Guides no Longer in Beta Stage!

[trythil]

I have revised the resize calculator page to be XHTML 1.1 / CSS 2.1 compliant.

http://host69.ipowerweb.com/~yiphomen/c ... ecalc.html

Note that Internet Explorer does not know how to handle the following:

- The CSS that changes the 'display' property to get everything to behave like a table. This is necessary to achieve the centered look, as XHTML deprecates the CENTER tag.

- Nested OBJECT tags. The behavior of OBJECT in XHTML 1.1 is the same as the behavior in XHTML 1.0, and that behavior is based on the HTML 4.01 spec:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/objects.html#h-13.3
When a user agent (i.e. browser) encounters nested OBJECT tags, it should use the outermost one that it is capable of rendering. Mozilla browsers doe this properly; IE does not.

The page is still usable -- it's just layout issues. But it's more IE bugs :P

That's excellent news. This is something I was looking forward to, but I won't be able to start playing around with it until next year (with my next video project). But I'll definately be toying with it in detail, and I'm sure to learn even more cool things. Thanks alot AD.

Sweet! I'm glad that you finally decided to put these guides up as the main ones

[Corran]

Thanks for the early christmas present.

There will be small tweaks made to the guide but it's ready enough and it's in good working condition now for everyone to use - so enjoy. The new amvapp should be pretty future-proof, any new releases will be bugfixes and I will try my very best to maintain compatibility as much as possible with future versions.

Couple of questions:

Will the remainder of the guide, such as the Convention Video Distribution, get done?

Will you be making the guide available for offline viewing for us to download, like the previous version?

Yes and yes. The latter as soon as I get back to my own pc

Under "Using KernelDeint":

Code: Select all

MPEG2Source("C:\yourfolder\blah.d2v")
Telecide(order=1,guide=1,hints=true=,post=1) #1 for Top Field First or order=0 for Bottom.
KernelDeinterlace(order=1) #See readme for kerneldeinterlace options.
Decimate(cycle=5, mode=2)

doesn't work.

This does:

Code: Select all

MPEG2Source("C:\yourfolder\blah.d2v")
Telecide(order=1,guide=1,hints=true,post=1) #1 for Top Field First or order=0 for Bottom.
KernelDeint(order=1) #See readme for kerneldeinterlace options.
Decimate(cycle=5, mode=2)

I'm not sure what to make of the Tdeint code, but I couldnt get it to work.

Would it be possible to have the /guides/avtechbeta directory redirect to /guides/avtech so all the old links in the forums and such still work?

(I just noticed that the links in my WMM2 footage prep guide, for example, are now broken... )

[AbsoluteDestiny]

I'll double check Tdeint and make the kerneldeint correction.

As for the beta folder redirection - I've asked the code monkeys. They say "yeah it's possible... I don't know how, but I'm sure it can be done" which means "uh I have better things to do".

I will, however, put an autoreplace in the forum for avtechbeta and that should fix things here.

Why not just symlink /guides/avtechbeta/ to /guides/avtech/
