TMPGEnc project files

[ketdael2000]

Hi All,

Is there any way to sent TMPEGEnc project file to AVIsynth and it'll play in Windows Media Player?

Convert the project with VFAPI and load it in Avisynth with AVISource.
I can not see a reason why one would do that, but it is possible.

We have file called rtv.vfp. Now we can load uncompressed RTV files fro NLE editor directly to TMPGEnc. File works fine in TMPGEnc, AviUtl but does not work in DVD2AVI apps. If i convert it to AVISource CCE does not work that fast like with DVD2AVI projects. I'm not good in creating of AVISynth scripts just trying

You may also try to load the VFAPI plugin into Avisynth. The script should look like this:

LoadVFAPIPlugin("c:\..fullpath...\rtv.vfp","AVISource") 
AVISource("d:\..fullpath..\filename.avi")

However, VFAPI work with RGB colourspace only, so at least one colourspace conversion is necessary, that slows the whole process down of course.

Does it look right?

LoadVFAPIPlugin("D:\TMPGE\rtv.vfp","AVISource")
AVISource("G:\Test_tpr-vfapi.avi")

If you convert the TMPG project with VFAPI just type

AVISource("G:\Test_tpr-vfapi.avi")

I assume the path is correct. Always preview an .avs with windows media player. If anything is wrong with the script, it will give you a quite exact error message.
I think you can load the rtv file (whatever rtv means, I have no clue) directly into Avisynth.

LoadVFAPIPlugin("D:\TMPGE\rtv.vfp","AVISource") 
AVISource("G:\Test.avi")

Since it is even possible to load .vob files with the m2v.vfp plugin and AVISource, I believe that should work. I can not proof it.
Play the 2nd .avs above with Win media player, it may be displayed upside down. Then you have to add a FlipVertical line, so the script looks like this:

LoadVFAPIPlugin("D:\TMPGE\rtv.vfp","AVISource") 
AVISource("G:\Test.avi")
FlipVertical

It Looks like this

LoadVFAPIPlugin("D:\TMPGE\rtv.vfp","Test.tpr")
AVISource("G:\Test_tpr-vfapi.avi")

Still slow, is there any way to do it without avisource only use .tpr or convert it to .dvd2avi or anything else :-)

If I ever knew what "rtv" is... Is it an avi codec? Can you play that files with windows media player?

Did you ever try to load the rtv file directly?

AVISource("c:\..path..\rtv.avi")

or

DirectShowSource("c:\..path..\rtv.avi")
#does not support audio

Here is some info:

To use, please place the file "rtv.vfp" in the same directory
as "TMPGEnc.exe" installed, and then run TMPGEnc. You will
now be able to load RTV files within TMPGEnc the same way you
can AVIs (i.e. from the main window and from the wizards).

Whats New?
This version converts 486 line RTV video to 480 lines. This
means no more manual cropping to obtain clean video! A VERY
big thank you to Pat for help on this. As a side benefit of
this change, there is no longer the need to set 'B' field
order.

A note on usage:

When you load a RTV with embedded audio, TMPGEnc will
automatically set the audio filename to the name of the RTV
(duplicating the name of the Video filename). You can override
this with another audio filename by then selecting another audio
source, such as a wave file. A RTV with no audio will blank the
audio filename.

If their are any problems, suggestions, or comments, please
feel free to e-mail me at either kmorger@azstarnet.com or
kirkmorger@tcisolutions.com if it is between the hours of
8-5MST monday thru friday.

Thank you to www.toastersupport.com for hosting this plug-in!

There is only one problem can't use it in CCE have to convert to avi from TMPGen.tpr with VFAPI CoDec and it slows CCE.
