Best frame serving program.

Oh yea,

doom9 has forums just for AVISynth

GG028,

You don't need to convert your .mpa file to .wav. There is an 'mpasource.dll' plugin available which reads it directly.

[FOO]

I wanna know how you make TMPGenc read MPA audio.

[feenix]

This is the Avisynth script I use - works with Vdub and Tmpgenc:-

loadplugin("c:\avisynth scripts\kerneldeint140.dll")
LoadPlugin("c:\program files\avisynth 2.5\plugins\MPEGdecoder.dll")
LoadPlugin("c:\program files\avisynth 2.5\plugins\mpasource.dll")
LoadPlugin("c:\program files\avisynth 2.5\plugins\msharpen.dll")
vid=mpegsource("d:\Capture 1\ati.d2v")
aud=mpasource("d:\capture 1\ati.mpa",true)
audiodub(vid,aud).Crop(0,0,712,574).bicubicresize( 720,576).MSharpen(strength=100).kerneldeint(0)

[FOO]

TMPGenc is not reading MPA audio when you frameserve :P

[feenix]

Strange?

All I can say is it works for me.

Can you get it to work in Vdub? If so you could try an additional step by frameserving to Vdub and then framserving to Tmpgenc. A bit overkill I know (and slow!). Don't know what else to suggest.

Also check out the VideoTools frame server plug-in:

I was just pointing out that TMPGenc will not directly read MP2 audio
as far as I know.
I have no problems frameserving.

[Ejoc]

My TMPGEnc will read MPA/MP1/MP2/MP3 just fine. I've done it a bunch of times.

[FOO]

I guess I don't have the right plugin. When I first
got it, It wouldn't read MPEG video either but now it will.

[GG028]

Thanks for the replies, I appreciate your help. Ok too many options now.... heh I'm gonna try all of them until I get something that actually works here. I'm gonna post the results ASAP.

[GG028]

Ok since I'm a noob at Avi Synth, I spent the last 2 days reading and encoding and reading and econding and so on. I've dled lots of plugins and tried almost everything and I guess this is the best code:

LoadPlugin("C:\Arquivos de programas\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\MPEG2Dec3.dll") 

LoadPlugin("C:\Arquivos de programas\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\mpasource.dll") 

LoadPlugin("C:\Arquivos de programas\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\VSFilter.dll") 

MPEG2source("F:\Bond\a\AVSEQ01.d2v") 

ConvertToRGB32() 

vobsub("F:\Bond\a\AVSEQ01")

I created the d2v and mpa files with DVD2AVI. I also configured the SubReSync for the sub to fit and synch the move. But there's only one problem now, I dunno how to fix this error. I tried to use that other code [ vobsub("vts_01_0") ] but it doesn't work either. So what's wrong with this line?

[Ejoc]

Dont need to load the mpasource plugin since you're not loading the audio w/ avisynth, but thats not a big deal, doubt it would make any noticeable difference.

Not sure what the error is, but when you call vobsub() the filename you give it should be the same as the .idx/.sub files. So if you have the files Subs.idx and Subs.sub it would be: vobsub("Subs")

[GG028]

I tried to post here earlier today but the forums were down or something..

Anyways, I was going to load the mpa audio, but I took that pic b4 doing it.

About the sub, yes it's the same name as the mpeg (AVSEQ01.mpeg).... and it's .srt btw if that makes a difference. And what .idx file r u talking about???

[sterno]

it's .srt btw if that makes a difference. And what .idx file r u talking about???

With .srt you won't have an idx file. If you're using vobsub for subtitles on a ripped DVD you'll get an idx file.

For .srt you want to use the textsub filter, not vobsub (textsub is a part of the vobsub package, but a seperate filter). You actually load the VirtualDub filter as a native avisynth plugin, so you'll want to use something like:

LoadPlugin("\path\to\virtualdub\plugins\textsub.vdf")
...
textsub("\path\to\subtitle.srt")

[GG028]

Yeah I've already tried that. It says it's not a valid Avi Synth 2.5 script or something like that.

I'm still confused about the .idx file though... what exactly is it? And r u saying that this code doesn't work with .srt subs?


Btw, just to clear things out. Right now my test file is a mpeg2 movie, and all I wanna do is put permanent subs on it.

[Ejoc]

textsub.vdr doesnt work on my system either, its an empty file.

I checked around and found one possible solution:
Convert the srt to ssa file and use a different VirtualDub filter.

http://www.divx-digest.com/software/srt2ssa.html
http://www.doom9.org/Soft21/Subtitles/subtitler-2_3.zip

then you could do:

LoadVirtualDubPlugin("Subtitler.vdr","subtitler",1)
subtitler(1,"F:\Bond\a\AVSEQ01.ssa",0,1)

if you download the subtitler filter, this is and avs script to get it the demo to work using AVISynth.

LoadVirtualDubPlugin("Subtitler.vdf","subtitler",1)
AVISource("gray.avi")
ConvertToRGB32()
subtitler(1,"demo.ssa",0,1)

Let me know how that turns out, since I dont have any .srt around I cant test the srt2ssa. I'll keep my eye open for a working filter for using .srt and AVISynth.

[GG028]

OMG finally something that actually works! I encoded the test file and it did work. Now I'm gonna encode the whole movie.. it's probably gonna take the whole night to do it but it's worth it. I hope everything goes right, I'll post the results tomorrow!

Thanks A LOT, man!

[GG028]

IT DOES WORK!

Thanks again dude, I probably wouldn't make it without your help. =)

[Ejoc]

cool
