avisynth help please.

[tweedledee]

I am trying to play VOB files in V-dub and need help with this article on how to create files
Can anyone explain this in simple terms? How and where do I create the file? Thanks.

[Tommyknocker]

In simple terms, in NotePad.

1. Open NotePad. Type in the word Version. No quotation marks, nothing but the word.


2. Save As tweedledee.avs and as a "All Files" type.



3. Now, go to Virtual Dub and select File-->Open Video File. Select all useable types and load tweedledee.avs.



4. Select Play and you should see the Version AVS file.

[tweedledee]

Thanx, I am following your guide ok but when I try to open in V-dub this is what I get.

[FOO]

Put your glasses on. the file extension is AVS not AVI

[tweedledee]

Sorry about that, but it's still the same with AVS

[tweedledee]

My problem may be caused by me not doing the following correctly. I just can't find the relevent avisynth .dll file. ( I don't have "hidden" files.)

[FOO]

It's been so long I can't remember, but you may have to
run AuxSetup which will be found wherever Vdub is.
It says it sets up frameclient support, which is what you need.
I think it sets up frameSERVER support

That assumes you put the avisynth file(s) in the right place and
registered it.

[Tommyknocker]

If your computer says the file is too small, what version of Virtual Dub are you using? Also, you may want to try to make your file bigger. Just add a number sign and blank lines to your AVS file to make it look like this and save like before (remember to save it as an "All Files" type:

Version

[FOO]

File too small is a clue that Vdub has no idea it's a script
and thinks its a real AVI. Or more accurately, the OS doesn't
know to go find and run Avisynth.dll and redirect the output.


version all by itself works good here

The last post from that guy indicated he couldn't find Avisynth.dll
I'd fix that first

[tweedledee]

Sorry that I had leave, I have to sleep then work. Would it be possible for someone to email me that avisynth.dll file because I have tried 3 times and still can't get it.

BTW I have the latest V-dub and I'm trying to load a vob file from a ripped dvd so I can save a few minutes of movie.

THANX

[holistic]

This will do what you want .

VirtualDub-MOD : http://es.geocities.com/dextstuff/
http://fcchandler.home.comcast.net/

It will import *.vob files.

Use VirtualDub's own frameserver to serve to your encoder (TMPGEnc works well with it)

[FOO]

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/avisynth2/AviSynth_252.exe?download

[tweedledee]

Thanx.
HOLISTIC.....I looked at that site but have no idea what I need to do.You must remember I have zero knowledge of things like that.

FOO......I have downloaded that and simply can nt see a dll file.
can you email it to me? please

I know you are trying, but I am not to your level with complex stuff (for me anyway)

[FOO]

That is an install file.
Did you run it ?
Do you have a Program Files\Avisynth folder now ?
It puts Avisynth.dll in windows\system32 on XP
and registers it.

Can you find out where the VirtualDub.exe is ?
go there and run auxsetup.exe

No I will not email it. You don't know what to do with it.

[tweedledee]

OK I have found the avisynth.dll file in winn.32 and I have already run auxsetup in V-dub. I need Virtual dub to open a vob file, what is my next step? I have tried creating a file in notepad, but it does'nt open the vob.
can you suggest how to create the file? THANX

[FOO]

Please do this for us. It's easy. Just once.

create a text file with notepad with the name TEST.AVS

type "version" into the file without the quotes
save it

with Vdub, open TEST.AVS

play the file

what happens ?

[tweedledee]

Thanx.....I get this

[Tommyknocker]

That is the AviSynth program running the Verion command. It means it is working the way it should.

[tweedledee]

So, if I have a vob file that I want to edit in V-Dub, how do I write the script to do that?

[holistic]

MY GOD MAN !
You are making life difficult for yourself.

Get the modified version of virtual dub
http://fcchandler.home.comcast.net/
Then simply open the *.vob file. Couldn't be easier.

Export with virtual dubs frame server or save as *.avi.

[Tommyknocker]

It is a fair question, Holistic. If he needs to do a function in AviSynth that Virtual Dub has a problem with, he should know how to script it. For instance, AviSynth can join three or more AVI files with one command. Can Virtual Dub?

Anyway, try using a GUI for AviSynth. My favorite is AVSGEN. You also may want to make sure you have Virtual Dub mod (to keep Holistic happy)

1. Open AVSGEN and select Browse and select your VOB.


2. If you are going to load this scriipt into TMPGEnc select the Denoise/Colospace tab, check off Change Colorspace and Convert to RGB24.

3. Select Generate AViSynth Script.



4. Load C:\MOVIE.AVS into Virtual Dub.



Now, only you know what you want to do now with your VOB. This is my result (Ian McKellen qua Gandalf the Grey, "dusting off" a balrog). If you want to see the AviScript itself, select the AVS tab.

[tweedledee]

Many thanks to all who helped me. Holistic....I have downloaded V-dub MOD and it works fine except that the sound is SOMETIMES out of sync when I play the VOB (before I do anything else) and when I save a portion of the movie it plays back badly....sound and picture is very jumpy. Your invaluable expertise is sought after again.

Tommyknocker Thanks, I'm trying AVGEN but can't get v-dub to work with it. I keep getting an error message

[Tommyknocker]

What is the error message, and please paste the script AVSGEN gave you.

[tweedledee]

D:\proof\VTS_01_4.VOB

and this is error message

[Tommyknocker]

It looks like AVSGEN uses an old dll. If you can find this dll in your AviSynth 2.5 directory, you may want to copy it into the AVSGEN directory as well. When I ask for your script from AVS, select the AVS tab and paste what it says.

[tweedledee]

You mean this?

LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\AVSGEN\bin\MPEG2DEC.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\AVSGEN\bin\Decomb.d ll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\AVSGEN\bin\AVISynth _Spatial.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\AVSGEN\bin\SimpleRe size.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\AVSGEN\bin\MPEGDeco der.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\AVSGEN\bin\Convolut ion3D.dll")
MPEGSource("D:\proof\VTS_01_4.VOB",-2)
FlipVertical
ConvertToRGB24

[Tommyknocker]

Yes. That's it. See this line:

LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\AVSGEN\bin\MPEG2DEC.dll")

It shows which dll your version of AviSynth is trying to use to run your script. However, it seem AVSGEN has an older version. So if you want, you can go into your Windows\system32 dircetory(be careful here), copy avisynth.dll and paste it in the AVSGEN\bin directory.

[tweedledee]

I'm cofused now. Iv'e never been so confused since I tried to learn the tango from a one legged lesbian who stuttered.
Please tell me exactly....copy "what' to "where' Keep it basic,please

[Tommyknocker]

1. Go to your windows directory.

2. Find the System32 directory.

3. Find the file "mpeg2dec.dll"

4. Highlight and copy it.

5. Got to the AVSGEN directory.

6. Find the bin directory.

7. Right click and select paste. If it ask if you want to copy over the existing file select "yes".

[tweedledee]

OK I have done that and still the same. Here is the avs
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\AVSGEN\bin\MPEG2DEC.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\AVSGEN\bin\Decomb.d ll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\AVSGEN\bin\AVISynth _Spatial.dll")
