[Released] AVPro Movie Capture

Exact same issue here. Crash !!! in the log right after calling stop capture.
ERROR: SymGetSymFromAddr64

 

Hmm, that's so strange I can't replicate that..Thanks for reporting this though.
A few questions:

1) In the console log, can you confirm that it's printing the latest version number (3.6.8)?
2) If you select a different codec, does it still crash?
3) Is it crashing 100% of the time?
4) Are you able to get it to crash with all of the demo scenes, or just some?

If you can think of any other details to explain exactly what your set up is, how you're using the plugin etc - this would really help us to replicate the crash. Once we can replicate it then we'll be able to fix it.

Thank you,

 

Hi @AndrewRH, does the version 3.10 (script v3.14) support multiple camera recording?

I avoid update assets in my project unless strictly necessary

 

Yes generally it's a good idea to avoid upgrading to the latest version, but then not upgrading for a long time can make upgrading more difficult in the future..it's a balance

That version doesn't support simultaneous recording. We added that in 3.6.0.

Thanks,

 

When I exported 4K h.264 mp4 video on win7 systems. It will tips " Failed to create recorder "。But small resulation video will be succeed。

 

Made the purchase after using free version for a few weeks... Loving it.

Q. Regarding shooting 360 captures. I would like to capture whilst I'm running the scene using a VR headset. Should I set the capture cam to my V.R camera or attach a camera to my avatar and record from that so there will be 2 cameras in scene, one being my V.R view & the 2nd cam is a standard Unity camera.

 

Which codec are you using?

 

I don't know It depends what you want.... you could try both and see which one you prefer? Either should work technically.

 

This looks like the best option for my project. I need to capture an stereoscopic 360 video, but my project uses custom postprocessing and 3 layered cameras. Is it possible to render all the cameras at the same time? I tried with the free versión but it only takes one camera.

Thank you!

 

Currently only our "CaptureFromCamera" component can capture multiple cameras and effects, but this is only not for 360 captures. Our 360 capture components currently don't support multiple cameras (though this could be added fairly easily), and they also don't work well with screen-space post-process effects due to stitching and seams. These are all things that were working on - and you're welcome to try the free version of the plugin in the meantime.

Thanks,

 

Hi Andrew,
we are working with your plugin for quite some time now but for a new project we need to get a .mp4 movie not .avi anymore.
Previously we were using the x264 codec (https://sourceforge.net/projects/x264vfw/) so we could control the quality and the size of the movie pretty easily but the plugin does not allow use to switch to mp4
Using the microsoft h264 and mp4, there is no control on the quality and the bitrate, which does not work for us as the move is too big.

1 - is there a possibility to change the bitrate and the quality with h264 in the very close future?
2 - is there an alternative to get mp4 with x264vfw ?

Thank you for your help and time !

 

Hi AndrewRH,

I encounter some trouble with your asset, it make the app crash ramdomely (and often) with this log :

I have try to follow the answer you've gave page 15 with no luck

all my computer who using my app are on windows 10 pro with codec installed.

do you have any idea from where it come from ?

I'm using the version 3.6.8 of AVPro Movie Capture on unity 2018.1.9f2 pro (i have also AVPro Video 1.9.8 on my scene)

Thanks By advance

 

Hi, how does one enable the Timelapse scale? This settings is greyed out and cannot be modified.

 

1 - is there a possibility to change the bitrate and the quality with Media Foundation h264 in the very close future?

You are correct that this is not available currently. This is on our roadmap, but we're really busy right now so I'm not sure when we will get around to it. Definitely in the next couple of months.

2 - is there an alternative to get mp4 with x264vfw ?

Yes, I think in the documentation we have written about this. It is possible to install a plugin called GDCL-MP4Mux. Then you should be able to set the extension to MP4. You should be able to download the installer from here:
https://github.com/roman380/gdcl.co.uk-mpeg4/tree/master/_Bin

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

 

Hmm I'm not aware of this issue...Have you tried upgrading your GPU drivers?

Could you tell me which codec you are using, your PC specs, and which capture component is used? Also, are you able to get this crash to happen with any of our demo scenes?

Thanks.

 

I'm not sure what option you're referring to? Where is this?

 

This is an option in the "Capture From 360" component. In your demo scene, it's attached to the Camera. The option is in the "Visual" section tab. It's grayed out.

 

To enable timelapse you need to change the capture mode to Realtime. Timelapse isn't supported in offline captures.

Thanks,

Thanks,

 

hi ,Is there any plan to support HDRP ?

 

HDRP should already be supported

 

Hi,

I am currently using the 360ODS script to capture a stereo 360 video and its working great except for the bloom in my post process.

As mentioned in the documentation, I tried adjusting the pixel padding with no success. I am using the new unity post process layer component and I can see that the array for image effect is using "Behaviour" components, does this mean that it is only compatible with the legacy post process behavior.

Thanks a lot for your amazing job.

 

Yes it is probably not yet compatible with the newer post-processing plugin...This is something we need to look into.

Thanks

 

So i switched the project post process to the old version and im still having the same weird results.
I also tried different anti-aliasing modes just in case it is related.

Here is a photo what it is suppose to look like and the result once rendered.

Thanks again

 

Which post-processing plugin are you using specifically?

When I said "old" I meant the old ImageEffects, but I get those are old-old.

Thanks,

 

Hi Everyone,

AVPro Movie Capture version 3.7.0 has just been released!

Please report any issues here on the forum, or to our customer support email.

Thanks,

 

Thanks for the reply.

Are you planning to support Post-Process anytime soon ?
Would be amazing (crucial) for my current project !

Thanks Again

 

I use the 3.7.0,but still crashed sometimes.
Sometime record 4 times,then crashed.
Sometime record 15 times.
I had skineed meshes in my projects.

 

same here i have allways random crack on my app in 3.7.0.

i have try to update the nvidia driver but it doesn't change

when i force the GPU flush i have an other error (quite the same):

thanks for your help

 

Thanks for reporting this again. We still haven't been able to replicate this.

Can you replicate this using any of our sample scenes?

Are you using Direct3D11 as the grapics API (it should log it in the console like):
[AVProMovieCapture] Init plugin version: 3.6.10d (script v3.7.0) with GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Direct3D 11.0 [level 11.1]

How are you launching the capture - via the Inspector UI, or via the UI in the game Window, or perhaps using the AVPro Video Capture Window?

And which component are you using - CaptureFromScreen, CapturefromCamera, CaptureFromCamera360 etc?

Also do you have any other crash files you could send us, like the .dmp file?

Thanks,

I test the ScreenCaptureDemo,don't crashed yet.

I use CaptureFromScreen.I use my ui to start capure.
codec is H.264
I update the .dmp file.You can change the .txt to .dmp.

 

It seems invoke problem.
When start capture, I use Invoke to start someting else. And when stop capture,I use CancelInvoke. When I remove CancelInvoke. It seems don't crash anymore.

 

Hi AndrewRH,

in our department we're happy users of the AVPro plugins since years, so thanks for the great work to start with.

I'm trying at the moment to solve a problem with one of our applications, causing a crash everytime we close it. The "culprit" seems to be the AVPro Movie Capture plugin. This issue was happening with an old version of AVPro Movie Capture plugin we had (from 2017) but it's still affecting the application after my attempt to upgrade with the most recent update.

Here follow relevant parts of the stack trace:

Hi Andrew,

Is there any update on when you guys will add the feature for editing the bit rate + settings in h264 encoding?

The outputted bit rate for h264 is currently unusable (low) for 4k 60fps, so I need to be able to adjust it!!

I tried the x264vfw, with the mp4 plugin, however there is a bug, and the output is choppy/unusable.

Thanks!

 

So the log says "tsccvid64.dll caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)"

I think tsccvid64.dll is a codec from a product by TechSmiths. Perhaps CamTasia. So you could try uninstalling this, or upgrading it to the latest version.

I hope that helps.

Thanks,

 

Adding bitrate adjustment is still on the TODO list. We don't have a date for this yet.

Yes I imagine that the rate is too like for 4K60....Perhaps you could output to a PNG sequence instead for now?

Otherwise x264vfw is an option. You need to adjust the codec settings (both 32-bit and 64-bit settings) to the values we show in the PDF documentation. I think though that there has been a chance so you might need to toggle the Low Latency option now... If you're still having issues with it please send a screenshot of the settings you're using.

Thanks,

 

Could you share a C# snippet of what you were doing? I can't replicate it here.... Thanks,

 

I have experience some random crash issues on newest version!
(only after first capture! may be second, may be third.)
I have already turn off GPU Skinning, and Graphics Jobs.
All of my office pc can produce same problem.
Please help!

We're also getting the same crash in release builds - we can generally capture between 1 and 3 videos before it occurs as the capture stops, which is causing us serious issues. We're using the x264 codec on Win 10, and Unity 2018.3.6f1. The AVPro about box shows version 3.6.10 (scripts v3.7.0).

UPDATE: I've managed to reproduce this in a test project and have sent it to AndrewRH.

 

Noticed these folk getting errors.
Before I purchase this, have these problems been resolved yet?
Are they related to the program itself or to other things?
It's a fairly expensive product so I'd like to be assured it does work Ok.
For me the FREE version seems quite Ok...so far!

 

Hello! I am using the plugin and most things are working well. I am having alot of trouble with getting an external microphone to work. I have the microphone selected and have tried all of the audio codecs, but no audio is being recorded to the mp4 files I am making. It seemed to work for a few videos then stopped all together. Are there any settings that need to be changed in order to record external audio?

 

Hello!

I'd like to capture video with audio. I have microphone selected. If I checked the video, i realized, the camera didn't worked for 6-10 seconds.
After 6-10 seconds works everything very well. (Without audio it works well the camera)

Somebody pls help!!

 

Hi

I'd just like to report that I'm also getting the random crashing after stopping recording too. This is with a build from Unity version 2018.3.6. A build from version 2017.3 seems to work fine, so apparently it's a problem related to the latest Unity version.

Edit: On a closer look it turns out the plugin was also older. Scripts version 3.6.10. in the unity 2017.3 build and 3.7.0 in the 2018.3 build. So the older works fine, the newer crashes a lot.

 

Hi,
Microphone input doesn't want to be heard in the game.
In the video, we want to record Unity's sound and microphone input together.
Is there any way to do that?

 

Thanks for reporting this. We have a fix for this now coming in the next version of the plugin which will be released this week.

 

Yes there is a crash issue that can happen when stopping the capture in some circumstances. We have now fixed this with the new version that will be released this week.

 

Yes, recording to MP4 with microphone audio is not currently supported. When recording to MP4 you can only currently capture audio from Unity.

If you want to capture audio from microphone then you must currently record to another AVI format.

 

Hmmm, could you give more details on how you're capturing? What component and settings (codecs etc) you're using?

Thanks,

 

Yes there is a bug related to stopping capturing in some situations. We have a fix for this now which is being released later this week in the next version of the plugin.

Thanks,
