frameserving to tmpgenc express error need yer help please

[gilbates]

guys i have a piece of footage that i have worked on in vdubmod and iwant to frameserve it to tmpgenc express to keep the quality , rather than save to some xvid or divx

i`m sure i`m doing everything right , select frameserve in vdubmod , create a filename and save it as a vdr file , i can then select it in tmpgenc express with no probs and do a few alterations with it in there , but when i go to encode i get an error message saying file is not supported , why is that , it let me select the file so why not supported when encoding , i`m using a ifo as the orig source from my hard disk

ifo? You're kidding, right? An ifo doesn't contain any video (nor audio).

vob sorry m8 , got so much going on in me head righht now , my mistake...anyways i have had a read and it seems tmpgenc has a prob with frameserving in general , even though i`m using 3 express , and all the plugins are in the correct order

so i installed link2 , and when i try to wrap i get an audio error , so i disabled the audio in vdub on the clip and it wraped ok , so then i imported into tmpgenc and now i get an error about forced video format , what the heck is that and how do i get over this next hasstle

and why dosent link2 like the clips audio ? vdub reports it as 48Khz 224 kbps and layer 2 , is that odd or something ?

ok figured out why i couldnt import the frameserved file into tmpgenc from link2 .....wrong colour depth selected in vdubmod, but that still dosent tell me why link2 dosent like the vobs audio , and i just realised that link2 is a free trial version and DOSENT serve at max frames .....aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

is there a wraper that works and that is free ?????

sorted at last

when frameserving from vdubmod save the file as an "avs" file instead of the standard extension offered

pick it up with tmpgenc and encode away , no in between software needed , jobs a goodun :P

[gilbates]

anyone wana jump in here and help out at all

[reboot]

Install avisynth.
Make a one line file in notepad, and make sure you save it with an avs extention, not .avs.txt
Save it as "test.avs"
Put this in it: AviSource("D:\Pathname\test.vdr")
Change the drive letter, and pathname to whatever yours is.
Start the frameserver, and make sure it says AVI only, otherwise you haven't installed the client properly.
Save the frameserved file as "test.vdr"
Open test.avs in tmpgenc.
