rmvb help

[flashcabaja64]

i have 2 rmvb files. i need a way for it to convert to dvd, ive tried winavi but it doesnt convert/join 2 files together. anyone know how to convert 2 files into a dvd?

[celtic_druid]

You could always join after converting. Join before converting, frameserve as one source with AVISynth, etc.

[flashcabaja64]

i want to join before converting. how can you do that ? also how do you frameserve as one source with AVISynth???

[Abond]

DirectShowSource("path\movie1.rmvb", #fps)++DirectShowSource("path\movie2.rmvb", #fps)
You must set the path in the file names and the actual framerate (25.000 fps for example)
Hope this works.

[celtic_druid]

Should work, although rmvb files can be VBR. But then if I recall someone did a new directshowsource plugin to better handle VFR input.

You can join with the editor that comes with helix producer. There is also a GUI for it called I believe R.E.V.E.

how i do open it? i dled it

[Abond]

Ermm, how to open what?

[flashcabaja64]

avisynth how do u open it after u dl it

[celtic_druid]

You don't. There is no executable. I would suggest that you read the docs that come with it or check out the site.

[Abond]

Oops, heh, well. You instal the programm and upon instalation select Associate the scripts with Notepad. Then you open Notepad and type
DirectShowSource.... and so on (you can also copy the lines from the post and paste it in notepad). Do not forget to type the correct paths and names of your files. When ready save as somename.avs -> the extension shows that it is avisynth script. Open it in VDub (or VDubMod -> this is what I am using) and hopla -> you look at the your video .
You can try to open this script also in winavi - well I am not sure it will take avs, never tried to work with winavi.
Now look at some guides how to get this to mpeg2 for DVD.

DirectShowSource("F:\Program Files\BitComet\Downloads\ocean\oceans twelve -1.rmvb", 23.976 fps)++DirectShowSource("F:\Program Files\BitComet\Downloads\ocean\oceans twelve -2.rmvb", 23.976 fps)

thats what it gave me when i put that. is there anything wrong

[Abond]

You should not break the line - type as one line. Or maybe use:
vid1=DirectShowSource("bla-bla1.rmvb",fps)
vid2=DirectShowSource("bla-bla2.rmvb",fps)
vid1++vid2

The movie is good. It is worth to buy the DVD.

[celtic_druid]

Try DirectShowSource("F:\Program Files\BitComet\Downloads\ocean\oceans twelve -1.rmvb", fps=23.976)++DirectShowSource("F:\Program Files\BitComet\Downloads\ocean\oceans twelve -2.rmvb", fps=23.976)

[flashcabaja64]

abond ive tried putting the spaces together it didnt work, but i dont know what you mean by yor second way with the vid1++vid2.


celtic_druid, it doesnt work.

[Abond]

These are three separate lines. You assign the first file to vid1(first line), the second to vid2(second line) and join them together (third line of the script). The result should be as the first script hopefully without the error. Simply it is easier to type - no looong lines.
Ha, wait, it should be
DirectShowSource("bla-bla.rmvb", 23.976)
without fps typed.

[flashcabaja64]

i dont get what that means.


abond, do u have aim or msn so we can talk about it there. its faster. thanks for your help

[Poplar]

Sorry to butt in here, but there is another way around it, without AVISynth. And I'm not so sure that you can open rmvb through DS filter, although I never tried

Find a RM to AVI converter, such as TINRA or RCFRealConverter, convert RM to AVI in a lossless codec, such as HuffYUV, then you can process it from there. As simple as that.

Hope it helps....

[flashcabaja64]

hmm it only reads rm but not rmvb

[GreatScott]

I use Easy RealMedia Editor to join rmvb files.
Now you have one rmvb file.

1. Install Gabest RealMedia Splitter.
2. Decode RealAudio by GraphEdit.
WMV to AVI guide by Bgpop
This is "WMV to AVI" guide, but you can decode rmvb's audio same way.
3. D&D rmvb and the wav files to TMPGEnc.

[Gurm]

Ok three simple steps.

1. Delete the .RMVB files.
2. Uninstall all RealNetworks software from your computer.
3. Beat yourself over the head repeating "I WILL NOT ENCOURAGE RETROGRADE SOFTWARE" over and over until the urge to reinstall it passes.

greatscott i got your pm what does it mean by D&D???????????/

[GreatScott]

I mean.....
Drag & Drop the first .rmvb file into Easy RealMedia Editor.
