Problem with frameserving to Vegas using ffdshow's makeAVIS...

[Questmark]

I've got an avi file that I'm importing to Vegas, but I wanted to add hardsubs and do some preprocessing, so I used AviSynth, made a script, and saved the avs. I tested the avs in VDubMod's script editor, and it all seemed to work.

Here's the AviSynth script:

AVISource("D:\handhc1orig.avi")
LoadPlugin("C:\program files\AMVapp\AVisynth Filters\VSFilter.dll")
TextSub("D:\handhc1orig.srt")
ConvertToYV12()
deen("a3d",4)
Tweak(sat=1.25)
ColorYUV(gain_u=15)
ConvertToRGB32()

Then I used ffdshow's makeAVIS function to put the avs in an avi wrapper. All still seemed to be fine. However, when I open the new avi in Vegas 5, I only get a 4 minute video with not visual or info, instead of the full length 23 odd minutes. There's no audio because it's demuxed.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I decided to frameserve because I currently don't have enough GBs to save all the uncompressed huffuv's of the files at once-- I have to import a section to Vegas, edit it, export it as huffyuv, do post-processing/cleaning, and then compress it to m2v to make room for the next section. I'm editing 4 video's together to make a movie. etc. etc.

If someone has some other options, I might be go for that, but if I can, I'd like to do this with AviSynth.

Thanks.

Hi,

Unfortunately, all the links on that page are old. I've thought of using VFAPI before, but I've never been able to find the readAVS.dll anywhere. I searched here, google, etc. doom9, etc. I'm sure it must be somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.... I'm sure I'm just being blind. But does anyone have an active link to this tool?
