My friend, jagabo:

Is there any intention to change it?

Did you even look at the OP's clip? It's not PAL. It's interlaced NTSC. Not even telecined film. I was in fact helping him -- your script is a waste of his time. At least until he gets a progressive PAL video to convert.

My friend Jagabo,
(You helped me once!)
I love you all!!!
But, what about the limits?

[manono]

DirectShowSource("C:\Users\...\...\video's name.mp4", fps=25, convertfps=true)
ConvertToYV12()
Lanczos4Resize(720,480)
AssumeFPS(23.97)

Plus, it's already YV12, and assuming that without specifying it as 'Interlaced=True' will further mess things up. You don't need that line at all, even if slowing it to 23.976fps were a good idea (which it isn't). As far as I know, there's no such thing as encoding for DVD at interlaced 23.976fps because you can't apply pulldown to an interlaced stream without getting a complete mess as output.

You owe a "gui", software, or something (made by you) for the forum...!

No one 'owes' you jack. Use AvsEdit or AvsP for a GUI, if you insist on having one.

Dl'd MVTools 2.5 and the avs script worked. Although, when it opened the video in vdm, i checked in video>framerate and it was unchanged at 25 fps. What do I do after opening the script to finish the process and actually deinterlace the video?

What AVS script did you open in VirtualDubMod?

I hope you mean to say ...it was unchanged at 29.97 fps. Because, if so, that's correct. Tempgauss MC bobs it to 59.94fps and SelectEven halves the framerate back to 29.97fps. Just as jagabo said earlier:

That will give you a smooth 60 fps video. Add SelectEven() to reduce it to 30 fps.

What is it with you and this incorrect obsession with 25fps? Your MP4 sample is 29.97fps.

Maybe it's just me but when I go into vdm, view the frame rate info of said video.mp4, and it says the video is 25 frames per second, I take that to mean the video is 25 frames per second. The whole point of my last post was that after opening

DirectShowSource("Anno clip 1.mp4")
AssumeTFF()
Crop(4,0,-0,-0)
ConvertToYV12() 
TempGaussMC_beta1mod()
Selecteven()

the video did NOT change to 29.97 fps and I was asking if the video needed to actually be saved first for the changes to take effect.

It says 29.97 fps when I open the "Anno clip 1.mp4" you supplied a while back. What frame size does it say? I get 708x480:

DirectShowSource("Anno clip 1.mp4")
AssumeTFF()
Crop(4,0,-0,-0)
ConvertToYV12() 
TempGaussMC_beta1mod()
Selecteven()

After opening the AVS script in VirtualDub it should tell you the frame rate is 29.97 fps.

Maybe you have a bad MP4 splitter or h.264 decoder on your system -- one that is reporting the wrong frame rate.

[Eva-Unit01]

Well This is what it says for the full video when I open the script. Does the file just need to be saved after opening the script in order for the changes to take effect?; because the ETA to save the full video is 16+ hours.

[jagabo]

Yes, just Save as AVI. Be sure to select audio and video codecs if you don't want a huge uncompressed AVI file. But with that 25 fps frame rate you'll probably get A/V sync errors. Adding AssumeFPS(29.97) to the end of your script should fix that.

[Eva-Unit01]

The only thing is, in order to encode it to h264 I'd have to use a frontend, as the only h264 codec usable in vdm is the outdated vfw. Can the script be executed in a frontend like megui or staxrip?

You've been told at least 4 times before now that the video is 29.97fps. A couple of times already you wrote as if you understood that fact. If you really thought it was 25fps when we both were saying it's 29.97fps, why didn't you say something before now? Did it not register before now that the thread title, your first post, and that one from which I just quoted were dead wrong? Did you not think to open the MP4 in GSpot, in MediaInfo, both of which quite clearly say it's 29.97fps?

Trying to help you is like beating one's head against a wall as you absolutely refuse to be helped. I've posted a number of things which you've resolutely refused to acknowledge. And remember, jagabo's one of the ones you said was stalking you and manipulating the forum. I'm surprised anyone is still willing to even try and help you, but some of us are masochists, I guess. jagabo's the one that might finally get through to you, and I think you owe him not only a note of thanks, but also an apology for your earlier idiotic remarks. That'll be the day, I guess. Me, I couldn't care less what you think, since you've proven over and over that you don't.

Get OUT!

[Eva-Unit01]

I tried opening the script

DirectShowSource(\\"C:\Users\Me\Folder\HideakiAnnoteachesanimationt.mp4\\")
AssumeTFF()
Crop(4,0,-0,-0)
ConvertToYV12()
TempGaussMC_beta1mod()
SelectEven()
AssumeFPS(29.97)

in MeGUI and it said it could not open it due to the avisynth wrapper.dll not responding or something similar. What might the problem be?

[Bonie81]

The best way to convert 23.976fps <==>24fps <==> 25fps <==>29.97fps is to Demux the streams, shrink or stretch timing and Re-Mux, again in order to keep Audio and Video in proper sync.

[jagabo]

If you can open the script in VirtualDub you should be able to open it in MeGUI too.

[Eva-Unit01]

Fixed the MeGUI issue. The problem now is, when I enque and start the encoding of the video with this script in MeGUI

DirectShowSource(\\"C:\Users\Me\Folder\HideakiAnnoteachesanimationt.mp4\\")
AssumeTFF()
Crop(4,0,-0,-0)
ConvertToYV12()
TempGaussMC_beta1mod()
SelectEven()
AssumeFPS(29.97)
#Does the order of the commands matter? Are they in the correct order here?

The windows DEP repeatedly closes MeGUI. This happens only when I try to encode the video using that script. Also before it closes out of the window, many Haali media splitter icons keep appearing in succession on the desktop toolbar. I turned off the DEP completely in cmd and restarted but the DEP still exits out of MeGUI whenever I try to run the job. Might anyone know about this situation and how to fix it?
