Open DV Files with AviSynth?

[Tommyknocker]

I have a certain AviSynth script I like to run my videos through, but to run my DV video through it, I have convert to another AVI format, or to MPEG. If anyone knows another way, please help me out. If I try to open DVs in AviSynth now, I get a file not supported error, whether it is in Virtual Dub or TMPGEnc (Direst Show highest priority,etc).

use a vfw dv codec (like mainconcepts), or use directshowsource("thedv.avi",fps)


i recommend a vfw codec, because if you use directshowsource, your using microsoft's decoder, and the directshowsource command does not support audio at this time.

I first convert to type 2 and then change the 4cc code using canopus codec. Then I can open up in avisynth using avisource. I could just open the original using directshowsource. Does anyone know of any other advantages to using avisource to open up the files in avisynth. I dont know if doing these conversions makes any difference.

No joy Liquid217, I just get a file not supported error but thanks for trying. I had trying opening the video with AviSource, AviFileSource, DirectShowSource, but nothing worked.

Whenever I tried to have Canopus encode to type 2, it would fail for some unknown reason. It may have been because I was trying to store the new fle on the same drive as the original. Finally, I tried to convert the type 1 file to type 2 using Video Studio 6. It worked, and now the video opens with AviSynth. Thanks guys!
