alpha 4; avi functionality implemented (but not tested as part of anri-chan yet); sources updated.
did it with xvid_encraw and ffmpeg.

Excellent. Thanks, nate. I'll take a look at these over the weekend.

ok, alpha 5 (uploaded) is actually working now. had to cut the avisynth production into many itty bitty pieces because i couldn't echo anything of worth from inside if blocks. also fixed a major problem with d. this is starting to get really messy but i knew exactly what it was when i was going in so it's no big deal to me. pretty damn hard to read though, good luck.
if you want to try it out, unrar it in c:\program files\ (which must also be your program files directory), then run anri.bat. will ask you a bunch of questions and hopefully make the 7 sda files correctly from the source. should be pretty easy to substitute an anri.ini for the questions in the case of making preferences. that will be beta 2 at the earliest though.
still on track for beta 1 release by sunday (hopefully with the installer working). will appreciate all the beta testers i can get at that time.

Yes, a cucco riding the ground.

no trimming atm, was just thinking about that actually. actually i think it may be solvable by making people do it on their dvd recorder. even on write once media you can do it afaik (before you finalize obviously).
Many DVD recorders don't have that functionality.

yeah will have to look at letting people trim. i hope to god it will keep the dgindex instance open while the person trims. otherwise will have to split anri-chan in half, one half run before trimming and one half run after. and it will be a lot, lot more prone to user error.

Cool, I have Monday off, and that Willow run to eventually send in (It's just sitting on my HD in VOB form at the moment), so I'd be down with being a beta tester.
ok cool. actually hard drive is supported right now, you just have to put the VIDEO_TS folder with the vobs in it at the root level of some drive letter, e.g. C:\VIDEO_TS, then put in that letter when anri-chan asks for the dvd drive letter.

Nate, looks like mvbob.avs and anri.bat got messed up in the upload.
not sure what you mean. i'll upload everything not in a rar then.

Despite everything you're doing to make this easy to use, it'll probably still be worth putting up a video (say, to YouTube, or embedded flash) showing how to use it.
It might all seem self-explanatory to you, but you are trying to make this as easy as possible. It would certainly be worth doing by the time you get 'round to the first 'proper' version.

once decompressed, run install.bat. let me know what happens. keep in mind this is still early beta and things may explode randomly.
system drive letter other than c: should be resolved though. let me know if that's working if that's you. other than that, still need to implement preferences (anri.ini), dvd-ram vob names, statid preview and maybe look at trimming. now would probably be a good time for me to start on that df list in the kb too.

From what I can tell, it installed AVISynth okay, as in the prompt and installer came up and everything, but then a bunch of text scrolled by way too fast in the anri-chan installer and the window disappeared. There's an anri-chan icon on my desktop now, so I'm about to give that a go (I have the run burned on DVD!) and we'll see what happens.
Also, more cosmetic than anything, but whatever that echo off command is supposed to do, it doesn't seem to be working. For all the instructions, I get "echo (command)" and then "(command)" again.
EDIT: Ooh, it's doing something! Let's see what the result will wind up being...
EDIT 2: It's asking me for a D, either 1 or 4. This is for my Willow (NES) run. lol hlep lol?
oops yeah lol, i guess i forgot to put a final pause ("press any key to continue") after the "anri-chan is now installed!" message in the installer. comes from running it in a window that's already been made instead of just double clicking it (on my part). this will be fixed for beta 2.
about echo off, it's been remarked out ("rem") so that in case something happens to a beta teser, (s)he can take a screencap so i can see what anri-chan is running. again, this will change in a future version (most likely 1.0).
good news that anri-chan has been able to create a legal avisynth file and run an encoder though. do keep me up to date.
about gba stuff, i know it sucks, but i can't think of any way right now to get around it. maybe i will eventually figure it out, or someone can come up with something in the interim.

Okay, I'm trial-and-erroring this for now, but you typoed in one of the commands.
After GOTOing to NES, you have "type type (blahblahresize.txt)". I don't think it liked the second "type", it gave a "cannot find the file specified" error.
EDIT: Just pointing out that it's a good thing you're (Or Mike is, one of the two) torrenting the run "proper" from me, as I'm sure I screwed this up at some point, particularly entering the statID. Heh.
I guessed at D1, by the way. Hopefully it works out.
EDIT 2: Ooh, it's encoding. Very slowly, but eh.

lol. thanks for finding that. it's not very dangerous but still important.
what game are you encoding again? everyone should feel free to ask about d and f in this thread as the d and f page in the kb still needs a lot of work.
