MediaInfo 0.7 (was "x264")

Just found a codec MediaInfo can't recognize correctly - x264. Already posted them a note.
So now I have 3 formats, which are not improrted as they should be (x264, DivX6, WMVHD).

For divx 6, if it is a .avi file, it may be the fault of AMC rather than MediaInfo (depending on the settings that you have: did you disable the option "Use internal engine..." ?)

It is an avi file with .divx extension and I only tried internal engine for import. I'll try MediaInfo DLL and let you know.
Ok, so I checked it and it did the same thing.
- video format is detected as 'DivX 5', all divx5 movies are detected as 'DivX 5.x'
- video kbps is not detected at all
- audio is detected as 'MPEG1/2 L3', all others as 'MPEG Layer 3 (MP3)'
- audio kbps and resolution is OK
- frame rate is detected as '23.98', all others as '23,976'
header seems pretty standard

x264 and WMVHD codecs will be added in next versions of MediaInfo, maybe 0.7.0.5
(Antp --> with 0.7.x versions, you can safely use MediaInfo.dll for AVIs, it is rewritten from begining for AVI parser, should be very stable)
For DivX6, I need a example there is a DivX6 codec, the only DivX 6 files I have got use DivX5 codec ("DX50"), not another one... DivX 6 is more a container than a codec (version 0.7.x recognizes this container)

Thanks, I forgot to check for new versions. I'll upgrade the MediaInfo DLL included with AMC

Hi,
I just tried to get the latest MediaInfo.dll from the release site and replaced it with the current one I'm using but got an error saying: MediaInfo.dll: wrong version, expected "0.5" but found "0.7.0.3"
Seems like there is a setting checking the version of mediainfo.dll. How can I change it?
Thanks

When the first or second digit changes, it means that the interface may have been changed. In this case, the version 0.7 breaks the compatibility so I will have to modify AMC to handle this new DLL.

Thanks antp.
Patiently waiting for a new release of AMC.
Best.

Here is a build of the current "under development" version 3.5.1.0 including MediaInfo 0.7.0.3:
http://www2.antp.be/antp/software/temp/amc3510b1.rar
The File -> Import window does not work at 100% since I was working on it, and the translation files may have some problems too.
Please test it and report problems

Great! Viva la AMC!

Excellent, I'll give it a try.
Thanks a lot.
As to mention DivX6, I only have DivX5 codec in DivX6 container. So if support for DivX6 container was added, that should work fine with me.

So I checked x264 and divx6 yesterday and here is the result:
- x264 is not recognized (codec = unknown(0))
- divx6 works just fine. Maybe before I was confused that it actually writes different data to fields, than internal import does. Like
DivX 5.x vs. DivX 5
MPEG Layer 3 (MP3) vs. MPEG1/2 L3
25 fps vs. 25.000 fps
and so on. But all codecs and bitrates are detected OK. So Antoine maybe you could transform MediaInfo results to match infos from internal engline. Mostly floating-point notation should be used from local settings. Also I noticed that if internal engine can't detect file info, it fallbacks into MediaInfo. Is that right? Because I get same results for x264 and DivX6 with both enabled and disabled internal engine.
And one more thing. When importing data via MediaInfo, field Language is deleted. When using internal engine, value is kept.
I will keep using and testing 3.5.1 version.

OK I will try to use the same format than before. Or at least leave that possibility using a .ini file like what is done for the internal engine.
The internal engine only imports from .avi files (maybe .divx also ?) so other extensions always use external mediainfo.

Okie, modifying values in .ini sounds fair.
My x264 sample has .mp4 extension, divx6 has .divx and I believe it always used MediaInfo. So probably only .avi works with internal engine.
