MONOGRAM x264 Encoder 1.0.2.0

Hello,

after a little struggle with mingw I’m happy to announce a new version of the x264 wrapper filter with these changes:

• libx264 built with mingw
• memory leaks fixed
• CRF support

hopefully this filter should not crash randomly

Please do some testing and report if anything goes wrong.

MONOGRAM x264 Encoder 1.0.1.0

Hello,

after making a set of audio encoders I’ve been trying to focus on video a little bit. Here’s the first tryout of a libx264 based encoder filter. Full source code can be found in the local SVN repository. The encoder filter is released just like the x264 library as GNU GPL.

Features:

• accepts YV12 input frames
• constant QP and average bitrate rate control modes (only 1-pass encoding so far)
• built with support for multiple CPU cores
• easy-to-use presets for encoder options
• support for B-frames - PTS and DTS information can be read by the downstream filter using a custom IMediaSampleEx interface (see source code for more info)

From my initial tests the filter worked quite nicely although I suspect there might be some small memory leaks which showed up after running the debug version of the filter for a few hours. If you find something please do let me know.

MONOGRAM MPEG Audio Encoder 0.9.0.0

Hi,

after a while there’s yet another new encoder available :). I have created an MPEG Layer 2 encoder based on the libavcodec (ffmpeg) source code. Unluckily the libavcodec encoder lacks a nice psychoacoustic model so I’m considering taking a look at the TwoLame library. Until then please do some testing and if you find any problem with the filter please do report it. This filter is released under the GNU LGPL license.

Features:

• support for 1 or 2 channels
• constant bitrate up to 320 kbps
• simple property page

MONOGRAM MP3 Encoder 0.9.0.0

Hello,

I know there already is an existing DirectShow wrapper for the great LAME library but I really wanted to write this one to have a nice addition to my filter collection and I also wanted to get to know the LAME interface so here it is - yet another LAME MP3 encoder filter. Release under the GNU LGPL license as well as the LAME library itself.

Features:

• CBR and VBR encoding mode
• Customizable bitrate
• Property page with statistics

MONOGRAM AC3 Encoder 0.9.0.0

Hello,

for some time I was unable to find a decent free AC-3 encoder DirectShow filter so I’ve decided to make one. I’ve extracted the AC-3 encoder source from libavcodec (ffmpeg project) and wrapped it into a simple filter. The filter is released under the GNU LGPL license. It also takes advantage of a CBaseAudioEncoder base class which I intend to describe soon in a nice tutorial

Features: Support for 32 KHz, 44.1 KHz, 48 KHz sample rates Support for 1 - 6 (5.1) channels Customizable bit rate
