Simple passthrough frameserving script for VDub

[philvideofilm]

Hello,

I've used the following script to frameserve from Vegas/Magix to VDub for years with the purpose of doubling the frame rate


Setmemorymax(512)
SetMTMode(3,8)
PluginPath = "C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\avisynth_plugin\"
LoadPlugin(PluginPath+"svpflow1.dll")
LoadPlugin(PluginPath+"svpflow2.dll")
Import(PluginPath+"InterFrame2.avsi")
AVISource("H:\Stuff\test.avi", audio=false).ConvertToYV12()
SetMTMode(2)
#deinterlace
#crop
#denoise
#resize
InterFrame(Cores=8, GPU=true)


I am now looking for a script that will do nothing but allow for a passthrough to VDub, without any filter applied in the conversion so that I can use VDub's filters like changing the ratio or apply a deinterlace and then render it out of VDub.

Is there a way to adapt this script to do just that or would you suggest something else entirely? I have no idea how to code...

Thanks

Put # at the beginning of each line (or delete the line), keep only the one with "avisource...". That's all.

AVISource("H:\Stuff\test.avi", audio=false)

Add ConvertToYV12() if you need it.

Thank you both.


Why would I need to convert to YV12 again?

[jagabo]

My script doesn't include the ConvertToYV12(). Hence, you have to add it if you need it.

[philvideofilm]

If I just keep that line it doesn't work. I get an error:

Avisynth open failure
AVISource autodetect: couldn't open file H:\Stuff\test.avi
Error code: 2
(E:\Stuff\60FPS-Copy.avs, line 7)

If I try to open the file with the original script it works fine.

[jagabo]

Maybe it has something to to with MEGUI's private version of AviSynth. Try keeping the PluginPath line too:

PluginPath = "C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\avisynth_plugin\"
AVISource("H:\Stuff\test.avi", audio=false).ConvertToYV12()

Remove the ConvertToYV12() if you don't need it.

[philvideofilm]

It's gone. All that's left is this:

AVISource("H:\Stuff\test.avi", audio=false)

[_Al_]

Error code: 2
(E:\Stuff\60FPS-Copy.avs, line 7)

But that says you have 7 or more lines in your script. VirtualDub is still evaluating wrong script.

[philvideofilm]

That was before I removed everything save the AVISource line. It is still the same error message but now it says "line1"

[jagabo]

Did you put the pluginpath back in like I suggested?

The script with just AviSource would normally work in AviSynth -- I use such scripts all the time. But there may be something about MeGUI that requires the pluginpath be set.

[_Al_]

And what does error message say now?

[philvideofilm]

Avisynth open failure
AVISource autodetect: couldn't open file H:\Stuff\test.avi
Error code: 2
(E:\Stuff\60FPS-Copy.avs, line 1)

I open the original 60FPS.avs and the test.avi loads correctly. Only when I try to open the 60FPS-Copy.avs do I get the error. I've even moved the functioning script to another folder and rename the 60FPS-Copy to 60FPS and I still get the error message. If I try to open the original script that I moved to another folder it works fine. I don't know squat about programming but this is mystifying.

There is some confusion about whether it is e:\stuff or h:\stuff

Is test.avi actually in h:\stuff. Which version of Windows is this ?

If you're not using avisynth for any filters/transforms - why do you need an avs script at all ? vdub can open the signpost avi file directly

[philvideofilm]

Of course, of course, the path. The equivalent of "is it plugged into the electrical outlet"

MASSIVE slapping of my forehead now.

Thanks, it's all good now.
