Video/Audio merge not happening here with the new version 1521 too.
I tried 480p for both links.
FDM is ing seperate video & audio file.
To videos, is it required that the option "start automatically (after silent creation)" to be enabled?

Have you read my answer here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17016&start=60#p40054

What is wrong with automatic start? How can you expect automatic merge without automatic start?

What is wrong with manual start in a specific order?

Do you think links are permanent?

Do you think you can restart, resume or repeat -and-merge just starting stopped s from the list any time and any day after FDM restart?

Do you want to propose another -and-merge method?

I am simply trying to videos the way fdm offers video s.
I tried ing through fdm video bar i.e played the video & selected on the fdm bar, got all the format, selected 480p & audio was auto selected & got a window about that, selected OK, started & completed. But the file are seperate i.e video & audio file.

The same result I get when I try through rightclick option.


About the "start automatically (after silent creation)"
I dont know what this option does. Plzz can you tell me?
But in the current stable version installed on my system, I keep it disabled.
And disabling it doesn't make any difference i.e the s works as they work in fdm default settings.
So I dont know if merging the videos & ing single video/audio file requires this option to be enabled in this version?
Coz in the stable version installed on my system, I have disabled the option, and no probs ing files & videos too.

And "start automatically (after silent creation)" enabled too, ed files are seperate i.e video & audio file.

Build 1521 is released.

thank you

btw about this...

Code: Select all

[*] Project compiled using Microsoft Visual Studio 2013. Windows XP SP3 or higher is required.

this means that also a U with SSE2 is required ? because as I know VS2013 have it enabled by default for compiler.

I'm afraid you don't understand my English or did something wrong, so here's visual tutorial for dummies.

Software used

* Windows XP SP3 fully updated (or newer); no antivirus, antimalware or other shell extension set to monitor folder. Such programs can block access to ed files, f.e antivirus scanning files or multimedia shell extension creating thumbnails from videos and pictures.
* Firefox 36.0.1; no possibly conflicting or blocking add-ons enabled or installed (Flashblock, Adblock, Flashgot, SaveFrom.net, Youtube er etc.)
* FDM 3.9.5 build 1521 (current) with mostly default setup:
- default folder C:\s with full rights granted for current Windows ;
- enabled "Start automatically (after silent creation)" option;
- enabled "Set the date of a file identical to the date specified by the server" option.
* Media player (VLC, MPC-HC etc.) that s formats used in MP4 and FLV files. Windows Media Player may require installing additional codec pack (H.264 - MPEG AVC video and MPEG AAC audio codecs in this case).

Automatic and merge from Youtube

1. Open Firefox and go to the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uh0eWc6wmv0

2. Click " with FDM" button. You should see a window with media list. Change default selection from the best available video (1080p) to some smaller one (480p) for tests. You may be warned, that the video file must be ed and merged with the proper audio stream. The final selection should look like that:



3. Click OK and you're done. You can go to the folder (C:\s\Video by default) and see the picture like that:



Note the timestamps for both files (in blue rectangle). The larger one, tagged as [MP4 480p], has current timestamp because it is merged from video and audio streams on the disk. The smaller file, tagged as [MP4 Audio] contains only audio stream and has some past imestamp copied from the server.

Manual and merge from Youtube

Software used as listed above, but "Start automatically (after silent creation)" option in FDM is disabled (no matter for what - wise or stupid - reason).

1. 2. Execute step 1. and 2. as listed above.

3. Click OK and open main FDM window. You should see two stopped , containing separate video and audio streams.

4. Select the audio stream (at the bottom) first and start . Soon you will see picture like that:



5. Select the video stream (the upper one) now and start .
- During you should see picture like that:



Note the video stream size (2,104,799 B KB in red rectangle).
- When the is finished, FDM should automatically start merging and finally you should see picture like that:



Note the final video file size (2,624,365 B in red rectangle). It should be larger than before merge and equal to the size of the file shown by Windows Explorer on the second picture above (2 563 KB in red rectangle).

Do you know anybody using Windows XP on PC with Pentium III, Athlon or older U and capable to watch H.263/H.264 (FLV/MP4) video?

It seems FDM 3.9.5 build 1519 has no problems with Youtube monitoring and flash video in Internet Explorer. No crashes, no hanging IE processes, no missing toolbar and tab bar after reopening IE.

It seems I've been too fast. I've noticed missing toolbar and tabbar in IE8 with FDM build 1519, build 1521 hasn't been tested yet.

Firefox extension seems to stay untouched. Try to do as follows:
- open some Youtube page in Firefox, f.e. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uh0eWc6wmv0
- click " with FDM" button - you should see picture like that

- click "Cancel" button and go to some video listed on the right, f.e "Pixar's 'Lava' Preview - Disney•Pixar Short Film - Official | HD"
- on the new page click " with FDM" button once again and you will see... old window once again.
As you see, Firefox extension caches Youtube links and doesn't refresh them when you go to any new Youtube page.

And this bug still exists in FDM build 1521.

Everything happens as you have mentioned except merge.
Merge doesn't happen here.

Everything? Do you use Windows XP SP3?
Have you configured or turned off other software as described in the tutorial?
Have you tested automatic and merge?
Have you tested FDM with default configuration on a new Windows ?

in Pentium III or first Athlon Us maybe no, but in Socket A Us as Athlon XP or Sempron, you can perfectly watch these videos at 720/1080p if you have a good videocard (128/256mb).

btw, XP s will also have to install this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... x?id=40784

Where he writes the default location of the ed files?
Many programs cleaning system removes the default path for saving files.
I would like to add a file to the exception, but I can not locate the file holding the record for the default folder.

Can you see the group tree on the left pane in main FDM window? Can you right click "All s" group and see the context menu options? Can you do the same with other groups?
All groups and their locations are saved in groups.sav file. You can find more details in older topics about groups in FDM.

Ok, Thanks.

I found and I think that these settings should be stored where the rest. Currently, I do not know why cleaning programs treat it as junk.

btw, why FDM 3.9.5 RC build 1522 is creating the following empty folders ?
