Looking for a freeware app to add datecode to DV Video

[joedotcom]

I was wondering if someone could help with this. I have timecoded DV that I've captured with Scenalyzer and I'm looking for a simple freeware app that will scan the avi and add a date/timecode to each frame (or even just the first few seconds of the avi).

I found DV Time Stamp in the Tools section which does exactly that, but its not freeware :( If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.

TIA

Avisynth

# Add time to a movie
CR = chr(13)
SP = " "

t = 0.0

avisource( "movie.avi" ) 

W = Width
H = Height
ftime = 1.0/Framerate

ScriptClip( last , "   t = t + ftime      "             + CR +  \
                            "   s = time_str( t )     "     + CR +  \
                            "  Subtitle(   s  ,  x = (W/2) ,  y = (H-20)  )  "  )
return( last )


# Returns a string representing "sec" seconds in HH:MM:SS.SSS format

Function time_str(  float sec )
{
	f = int(  (Frac(sec) * 1000.0) + 0.5 )
	t = int( sec )

	ss = t % 60
	t = t / 60
	mm = t % 60 
	t = t / 60
	hh = t 

	str = LeftStr(  ( "0" + String( hh )  ) , 2 ) + ":" + \
                          LeftStr(  ( "0" + String( mm )  ) , 2 ) + ":" + \
                          LeftStr(  ( "0" + String(ss ) ) , 2 ) + "." + \		
                          LeftStr(  (  String(f) + "00" ) , 3 ) 

	return( str )
}

Ok, thanks for this. One question though: I can't seem to find the Avisynth executable (until now I've only used Avisynth as part of DVD2SVCD sessions) in the DVD2SVCD or Avisynth 2.5 folder. Am I missing something?

Thanks again for the help.

Just re-read your last post, then click on the 3rd word of your sentence "find the *** executable", then find and click on "download" and eventually you'll ne able to find it

[joedotcom]

Wow....helpful. You mean all I have to do is click on Avisynth? Why didn't I think of that?

Seriously, if you can't help, don't waste people's time just for the sake of being a smartass. What I was looking for is help on whether there is a stand alone Avisynth executable in the DVD2SVCD bundle, not a lesson in Web Downloading 101.

Avisynth is not an executable.

edit: we give you the code, Baldrick gives you the highlighted link
and still you have to be an *******

[joedotcom]

(sigh) ok. whatever. "Avisynth is not an executable" would have saved us all a lot of time, rather than a sarcastic answer or a suggestion to download the app which doesn't have an executable anyway. Btw are you Milo's lawyer or what?

As to me being an *******, I happened to notice you're the one getting shit from people around the forum for your attitude. Coincidence I guess. FYI, if you bother to read my reply, you'll see that I thanked you for the code which contrary to your last post, is actually useful. Case closed.

It was clear from your posts that
1. You had no clue about Avisynth , and were too lazy to even look
at the link , or you would have known that it is not a program
2. I an not a lawyer. Milo assumed correctly #1 above and tried to help.
3. You blasted him.

Where are you that you expect to get served for free and then
bite the hand that feeds it ? I suspect that you are either very young
and/or your mother jumps up to feed you every time you cry.

You probably won't get much help in future

[joedotcom]

Wow..I'm devastated... "My mother jumps up every time I cry?" That's the best you can do?

So, according to you, I have to be an Avisynth expert to post a question about Avisynth, huh? Interesting...

As to not getting help in the future...do you promise never to help me again? Please?

I've been in forums long enough, and have helped people long enough to know that you have to be patient even with the *stupidest* questions.

Get a life. And btw, learn how to spell.

[FOO]

Just tell us why you blasted poor ol Milo .

Keep cool Joe.com, that was just a bit of humor.
It was funny to see that your question contained its answer in itself.
BTW, these automatic links in post are a great feature.

Also I would say that sometimes it's a bit annoying to see people still asking for very basic question when answer is 2 clicks away, and especially after that someone like FOO has spent his time to write a complet script for you.
If he can solve your problem maybe you can do the easy part by yourself?

Since then, I realize that you were not looking for the application but asking for the executable. As you know now, there's no executable (.exe) but a .dll
So forget the 2nd paragraph
