Frame DV Type 1 to TMPGEnc

[Lamont Cranston]

I have done searches with no luck. How do you frameserve DV type 1 to TMPGEnc?

[Truman]

With Avisynth.

DirectShowSource("....avi")

Thanks.

Truman, one problem Avisynth frameserved the video but no audio. What did I miss?

[Truman]

Excuse me, I forgot to mention that. According to the updated reference guide, there is no sound support yet.
Do you have a chance to open that .avi in any program (VirtualDub, TMPG) to extract the audio? I can not test it by myself, because at the moment I don't have any DV type 1 files here.
If you can extract the audio, use a .avs like this:

video=DirectShowSource("...avi,fps")
audio=WAVSource("....wav")
AudioDub(video,audio)

VirtualDub does not support DV type 1 audio and I don't believe you can extract audio from an avi with TMPGEnc. It seems about the only way to solve the problem is to transcode (lossless) the DV type 1 to DV type 2 and use VirtualDub to frameserve unless you have a better idea.

I don't know, whether TMPG support DV type 1. If it does, load the avi, select file > output to file > wave file.

You can also load the DV with TMPGExe and make an audio-only MPEG (.mpa). Then you can frameserve to the TMPGExe to make the video part (.mpv). Finally, you can merge them with TMPGExe's MPEG tools.

Truman, you were right on the mark. I created the wave file with TMPGEnc and successfully framserved with avisynth to TMPGEnc using the script you listed. I also found that avisynth can use the DV type 2 with avisource("...avi). It looks like both transcoding or extracting the wave file will work.

Is there a way to setup avisynth to frameserve to LSX35 without patching LSX35 to only accept avs files?
