Avisynth Script

[boogers]

Hi All,

I have a movie file that shows the following info in G-Spot:

Video = DivX 5.0
Audio = MP3 VBR
Render Video Path = AVI Splitter=>DivX Decoder Filter=>Subtitle Mixer.
Rende Audio Path = AVI Splitter=>Moonlight Odio=>Morgan Stream..

This movie runs fine in WMP v6.4 and v9. It shows in properties (WMP v9) video codec = Subtitle Mixer)

I create a simple aviscript (avisynth v2.54) to open the video and save as Movie.avs:

video = "C:\TEST\DOD.avi"
AviSource(video)

When I run this .avs file in WMP, I can hear the sound but the video is all black. I looked at the video codec in properties in WMP v9 and it is blank. I tried to open also in VirtualDub and I get flashing green screen.

I also tried and added this line,

ConvertToYUY2()

to the bottom of the script, but got the same result. Please help if anyone knows what the problem is. Thanks in advance!

Load file in virtualdubmod and use direct stream copy to save video as avi-save audio as wav file
load avi file with avisource and wav file with wavsource-use audiodub for muxing-think your avisynth script will work
you can try adding
EnsureVBRMP3Sync()
before trying above.

First, thanks for the quick reply. However, I tried both ways and still it did not work.

#Script 1
video = "C:\TEST\DOD.avi"
AviSource(video)
EnsureVBRMP3Sync()
ConvertToYUY2()
#Result = Black screen

#Script 2
video = AviSource("c:\TEST\DOD.avi")
audio = WavSource("c:\TEST\DOD.wav")
AudioDub(video, audio)
EnsureVBRMP3Sync()
#Result = Shows like 1 frame of the video then turns green for a few seconds then flash 1 frame again. And it keeps doing this.

#Script 3
video = AviSource("c:\TEST\DOD.avi")
audio = WavSource("c:\TEST\DOD.wav")
AudioDub(video, audio)
EnsureVBRMP3Sync()
ConvertToYUY2()
#Result = WMP v6.4 attempts to download some codecs then it said unable to download an appropriate decompressor, and the video plays showing black screen.

I noticed that when I open the 'watchable' avi file itself with VDub, the decompressor in the 'File Information...' is 'DivX Pro 5.0.2' codec. When I open the 'green screen' avs script, the codec for script 2 (w/out the 'ConvertToYUY2()') is 'XVID MPEG4' and for script 3 it is 'YUV 4:2:2 (YUY2)'

Any other suggestions, anyone? Thanks in advance for the help!

try directshowsource instead of avisource. Also make sure you have the divx codec installed on your computer.

Yes, I tried that and got an unrecognized exception error message. I read somewhere that's because of the vobsub installed and said to upgrade to new version 2.2. Let me give that a try and will update here. Thanks.

Finally got it working. Uninstall vobsub v2.18, install v2.23 and use directshowsource. Thanks for all the help.
