PROBLEM W/AVISYNTH AND TMPEG FOR DV FILE

[2man]

i tried to frame serve a dv(avi), captured w/VideoStudio 8 via firewire, using AVS script to TMPEG, but it has a problem with the dv(avi) file.
is it dv(avi) unsupported by avisynth ? and need to be converted to other format (lossless codec) first or there´s a way around?
i can open the dv(avi) file directly in tmpeg

the script line that gives the error ..... avisource(c:\test\Clip1.avi") ......
thks

What type of DV avi is this (type-1 or 2) and what DV codec is installed on your machine?
I can use DV avi with avisynth anytime!I prefer Type-2 (because VDub can handle that)

[2man]

the DV codec was installed w/VideoStudio 8 (i think)
i installed the panasonic DV codec but the VideoStudio 8 in DV capture(total quality) don´t let me choose the codec.
i have to try another software that let me choose the DV codec
thanks for the reply

With capturing there should only be the choice of type-1 or type-2 (DVApp), as DV in fact doesn't need a coder during capturing (it's just a file transfer).
Look at the FOURCC and in your registry, to find out the name of the codec, which comes into play when you playback or reencode the avi (after editing).

[2man]

the dv file must be type-2 because i tried to convert the DV file using dvconverter tool (type 1 to type 2) without sucess-is not a type-1.
in VS8 there is no option for type 1 or 2 in DV mode, but at hone i try to find out what kind of "DV codec" (tranfer) is in use.
by the way i can open the dv file w/virtdubmod
it seems that avisynth 2.08 don´t like DV file
thanks

Can you use the ConvertToYUY2() setting in your script? That usually works for me (mainconcept codec).
