Scripts to see MPEG2 on vdm splitted screen

[vertical]

Hi,

Please help with the scripts.

I have the scripts that were kindly advised by guns1inger and manono for me to be able to preview the affect of the sharpening scripts like ASharp and LimitedSharpen in splitted screen in virualdubmod. It works with AVIs but I do not know what changes I have to make to the scripts or script to be able to do the same with d2v files.

I can watch d2v with the following script:

ASharp,avs
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\asharp.dll")
MPEG2Source("E:\WORK-LONG\movie.d2v")
asharp(2,3,0)

But the following two that actually split the screen do not work with MPEG2 and I do not know what changes I should make to make them work, I mean to produce the picture from d2v on splitted screen. I tried to change AVISource for MPEG2source but it did not work.

RestorationScript.avs

Orig_Clip=AVISource("RestorationScript1.avs",false )
Rest_Clip=AVISource("ASharp.avs",false)

# Crop clips for comparison. Clips are cropped to create
# a single complete frame

Orig_Clip_Crop=Crop(Orig_Clip,0,0,360,0).AddBorder s(0,0,4,0)
Rest_Clip_Crop=Crop(Rest_Clip,360,0,0,0)

# Stack the two halves together to finish up
StackHorizontal(Orig_Clip_Crop,Rest_Clip_Crop)

RestorationScript1.avs

AVIsource ("E:\WORK-LONG\movie.d2v",false)

Thank you!

restoration script1 needs to use mpeg2source instead of avisource

And that's it? I tried so many changes in Restoration.avs but never touched Restoration1.avs

Thank you!

guns1inger,

I changed tp MPEG2 but it does not work. I have the following script (Restoration1.avs):

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\asharp.dll")
MPEG2Source("E:\WORK-LONG\Sneakers.d2v")
asharp(1,3,0)

But once I try to open it in VDM I receive error message:

[Alex_ander]

Unlikely .d2v can be treated as MPEG2Source: once an MPEG2 file is opened in VDubMod it becomes an avi as any output from VDubMod.

Thank you.

But I am not clear - what the script changes should be and should be any?

[guns1inger]

you need to load the plugins for mpeg2 reading.

Try adding

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\dgdecode.dll") (adjusting the path as necessary) at the top of the script for both asharp.avs and restorationscript1.avs, then use mpeg2source instead of avisource.

I remember I was advised to remove dgdecode.dll from AVIsync plugins folder for some time while we were tuning the script for AVIs. Now I cannot find dgdecode.dll

I browsed Internet but found lots of mentioning of the file but no doanload anywhere. Any references would be appreciated. Thanks.

It's part of the DGIndex package from Donald Graft

[manono]

And unless you get the DGDecode.dll that comes with the same DGIndex you used to create the D2V, you'll have to make the D2V over again. You can check in the Help Tab->About for your DGIndex version.

Thank you!
