Oh, and "Bloody Roar 2" is an emulation problem.  Standard Mame chokes and just freezes on 1 frame - hence it wont work in BuddaMame.

Great Progress with 0.92 build. Think I will put this one into gear and get my pc churning out videos, and building up the frame info. (Now that my pc is back up and running, after replacing every cap on the board......)

@Buddabing

It appears Vdub 1.6.4 has a slightly different Script format. For me it errors out with an unhelpful "???" error AFTER making the video. The video is fine, but it needs manual intervention to continue. The culprit appears to be the:
"VirtualDub.video.SetDepth(24,24);" line in the cdb file. Removing this works fine - it appears this is no longer recognized in 1.6.4. It would be really helpful if you could remove it from the mame build.....

Also, when supplying the start and end frame inputs, does it still run the dectection routine? I would have expected to be slightly faster due to skipping the detection, but maybe it has no impact.

I don't want VDub 1.6.2 to have a problem if I take out the SetDepth line. If it doesn't I'll remove it.

I think the problem is that the program is still testing for black even if it being supplied the start and end frames. I should remove that, but as a workaround you can set -movieskipblack 0 for those movies.

EDIT: I forgot to ask if you had tried uncompressed pngs with Vdub 1.6.4.

Silver:
I've tested Vdub 1.6.2 without the SetDepth line, and it worked fine - creating an identical avi file. I will explore more though, to see if there is any impact.

Vdub 1.6.4 works fine with the uncompressed pngs. (though I find compression level 1 much better)

-movieskipblack 0 works great - adds a 15-20% speed boost for me when you supply the start/end frames.

Okay, I've removed the SetDepth line.

Also, I've made it so that if you are using -movieloops 2 it doesn't check for black frames.

Have you tried tweaking the Vdub settings to reduce the bitrate like Howard suggested?

Also, the new front end AtomicFE crashes on Xvid videos, but works okay (aspect ratio wrong, though) on Cinepak. Have you looked at that? Would that be something weird with the Xvid settings we are using?

I've uploaded a new executable.
Silver:
Thanks....

Okay I've not really looked at changing the Xvid settings as I quite like the defaults, and people can now set up there own. However, I'll get some tighter settings you can use as defaults as email them over.

AtomicFE crashing: Hmmm could do with some more info here. I would be highly surprised its to do with Xvid settings, although its possible. With Xvid installed you have a fully compliant MPEG4 Directshow encoder/decoder available to the system. Does DivX also crash? Can the author of AtomicFE give us some feedback on this?
