[Solved] Merging clips with different fps and samplerate!!!

[mtamimi]

Hi,

I am trying to merge 3 wmv clips, neither the fps nor the samplerate are constant. So I made this script

v1=DirectShowSource("clip1.wmv", fps=30)
v2=DirectShowSource("clip2.wmv", fps=30)
v3=DirectShowSource("clip3.wmv", fps=30)
source=v1+v2+v3

return ResampleAudio(source, 44100)

This code does not work, so can you guys show me the best approach to do that??

Can I remove the "fps=30" from each line and do them all in 1 step?? For instance I want to do it like this "convertfps (source,30)"!!

Also can I do the resizing in 1 step as well??

regards,

I think I found the solution to my problem...not all of it though!

OK

v1=DirectShowSource("clip1.wmv", fps=30) 
v2=DirectShowSource("clip2.wmv", fps=30) 
v3=DirectShowSource("clip3.wmv", fps=30) 

source=ResampleAudio(v1,44100)+ResampleAudio(v2,44100)+\
ResampleAudio(v3,44100)

return source

This is OK, and works as expected. But the problem I can not use ConvertFPS. I can not add extra line like this

source=ConvertFPS(v1,30)+ConvertFPS(v2,30)+ConvertFPS(v3,30)

unless if I removed the ResampleAudio code! I know what is causing that, but I do not know if it is possible to do them together!!

In order to use ResampleAudio or ConvertFPS, all the clips should be compatible. So If I used fps=30, I solved 1 problem and ResampleAudio will work. And if I used audio=false, I can use ConvertFPS since the only problem will be fixing the FPS!! I do not know if it is possible to do them together!!!

I think I sorted it out...

I tried this

source=ResampleAudio(ConvertFPS(v1,30),44100)\
+ResampleAudio(ConvertFPS(v2,30),44100)\
+ResampleAudio(ConvertFPS(v3,30),44100)

So My final code is like this

v1=DirectShowSource("clip1.wmv") 
v2=DirectShowSource("clip2.wmv") 
v3=DirectShowSource("clip3.wmv") 

source=ResampleAudio(ConvertFPS(v1,30),44100)\
+ResampleAudio(ConvertFPS(v2,30),44100)\
+ResampleAudio(ConvertFPS(v3,30),44100)

return source

So if I wanted to resize also, it will be like this

ResampleAudio(ConvertFPS(Lanczos4Resize(v1,640,480),30),44100)

This is a n00b way if you ask me!! Anyone knows if using subroutines will make it simpler??

Done!!

v1=DirectShowSource("clip1.wmv") 
v2=DirectShowSource("clip2.wmv") 
v3=DirectShowSource("clip3.wmv")

source=FinalClip(v1)+FinalClip(v2)+FinalClip(v3)

return source

Function FinalClip(clip v) {
	return(ResampleAudio(ConvertFPS(v,30),44100))
}
