AVISynth and ConvertToYUY2

[macmac15]

I have been trying to get AVISynth to work but I seem to be having some issues that I can not find any ansewers to.

I have a few filters that I would like to try out with this. These filter do not wrok with RGB, so I need to first convert to YUY2.

This seems like it should not be an issue, but when I use this command, I it open's fine in VirtualDub, but then when I press the dub button, all I get is a grey screen with some color dots all over the place.

I'm not sure if it is the script or what.

This is what my script looks like.

AVIFileSource("E:\Temp Movies\Jag3.avi")



Also I have another question, when installing filters to be used with AVISynth, do I need to place these DLL's into the System32 Directory?

ConvertToYUY2

So any help would be much appreachiated.

I know that you are all very bussy people but I would really like some help on this. I can not seem to find the ansewer to this question any where on the internet. I have looked at DIVX.com, here, and at AVIsynths web site, and I still can not figure it out.

What is hte specs for a DV file, is it stored in RGB format??

First, have a little patience, it is a virtue, I am told.

Second, what kind of DV file is this, a type one or type 2. AviSynth does not like type 1 files.

Third, it does not matter where your filter are loctaed, as long as you list their location when you call them in your script command.

I found a use utility, called AVSGEN, that writes AviSynth scripts and tests them for you.

Thanks for the info do you know is there a way to tell if a DV file is type 1 or 2, and do you know is there a way to convert one to the other?

[Tommyknocker]

I found out using Video Studio 6 if any of my DV were type 1 or 2, using their file information browser. It also converts type 1 to type 2, too.

Well I was able to get it all to work using that app that you listed.

So what I did was set up a little test file, and feed it into VDUB using the script file created. I did a littel denoise on it, but it seems now that I can not get a good output. The Video looks great, but it is all choopy, like it is only converting a few frames.

So I'm stuck, I know that I'm asking you to spoon feed me here, but I know that I'm very close to figuring this out.

I'm guessing that I will have to do some frame serving or what ever it is called right?

[Tommyknocker]

Yes, they do call it frameserving. Use this guide.

If the the question was related to Avisynth then maybe I can help. You are most likely capturing type 1 avi files that are yuv. You can frameserve them in avisynth with the directshowsource command.
