    Hi everyone,

    I am posting to announce my tool DIKO. DIKO is a one click DivX/XVid to KDVD/KSVCD (DVD/SVCD using the Kvcd.net compression tecniques) conversion tool. It works with many other softwares to achieve the best quality and efficiency possible in this conversion.

    Some Features:
    Features:
    -One Pass VBR Size prediction fully integrated, using CinemaCraft Encoder SP 2.66 or 2.67.
    -Does automatically all bitrate calculus needed.
    -Convert audio to 48000 automatically if needed.
    -Do automatically framerate conversions from 23.976 to 25 fps and 25 fps to 23.976, including audio and subtitles. This feature also works with 5.1 audio.
    -Automatically authoring with user-created menu via linux ported DVDAuthor or leave video audio and subs ready to be imported to DVDMaestro or Scenarist.
    -Automatic DVD image creatin via MKISOFS and burning via DVDDecrypter if dvdauthor authoring is selected.
    -Creates switchable subtitles from commom srt and sub files.
    -Join subtitles for originally 2-CD DivX movies on the fly.
    -Stops if Q Factor is too low (over 40), avoiding bad quality encodes.
    -Automatically checks and fixes AC3 errors via AC3FIX
    -Enables pulldown flag via Pulldown.exe automatically.
    -After initial subs rendering, can fully work in background.
    -Do AC3 encoding via SoftEncode.
    -Crash Recovey

    DIKO is available as freeware and there's a more advanced version called DIKO Gold for US$ 20. But the freeware version is fully functional and has all features described above.

    Get it here:
    http://kvcd.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=79
    Required CCE SP 2.67 and SoftEncode (only to encode AC3 if needed)

    Enjoy!

    PS: I noticed there's a software forum, but I decided to post here because I see lots of posts related to the purpose of my tool. If it's in the wrong forum, please move this thread and forgive me.

    This program is a joke, why don't you post all the other programs and codecs you need to actually make it work.

    Just a thought. I Think the idea is right, but the way it is packaged and with little info on other programs needed was a huge suprise and pain in the but

    All the commercial software needed are specified in features, and the freeware ones are in readme, with complete install instructions step by step, and this is a written above:
    So if you don't have skills to simply install software (must be very hard for you), you really shouldn't be using it. I really think the biggest joke is you.
    Oh, and I forgot: the software is free.

    good job, i'll try too see what its all about, but i'm not gonna ditch avisynth for this. i like to know what i'm doing.

    can't you put a 2pass or is it a deal with CCE ?
    i'll se how good the freq, upsampling are, i haven't found any encoder that do this good enough for my taste, so i'll keep everything as original if i can.

    crash recovery ? heh better save than sorry right. :p

    keep it up

    @shiroh
    DIKO supports custom Avisynth scripts. The upsampling/downsampling is necessary to keep with the DVD specs, which require 48000, so if you want to burn a DVD, you don't have the choice of keeping the original frequency sometimes.
    CCE 2 Pass will be available in the future. :D

    BTW, a new version was released today, supporting QuEnc besides CCE. So now it's possible to use my tool with only freeware.

    New version out (0.6)
    Check the ChangeLog:

    -Added QuEnc templates
    -Fixed Crash Recovery and Bugs with QuEnc support
    -“Fool-Proof checks”: DIKO now prevents multiple instances and checks if avisynth is installed and it’s 2.5 branch.
    -New Italian translation by thebepps1
