Avisynth open failure

[natty]

I tried to open a movie using this script below with VirtualDub

AviSource("D:\The Never Ending Story2.avi")
Tweak(Bright=10)

but i get this error up in VirtualDub have i done script wrong then

Looks like Tweak expects YUV colourspace. Try adding ConvertToYUV() before Tweak.

I changed script to below as you said guns1inger

AviSource("D:\The Never Ending Story2.avi")
ConvertToYUV()Tweak(Bright=10)

but now I get this error

He means ConvertToYUY2(). Or you can also ConvertToYV12() if you prefer.

It's nothing you couldn't have figured out yourself:

well its proberly easy to you. but this avisynth looks hard to work out making the scripts, maybe i am doing something wrong why dont they just have pre-made scripts

What codec is the avi using? Seems unikely that it is really RGB, probably means that the decoder is broken and serving RGB. This used to happen with DivX3.11alpha as I recall. If that is what you have, then try ffdshow for decoding.

Morning everyone.

Looks like you missed a '.' and bad function name, in that script

your source:

AviSource("D:\The Never Ending Story2.avi")
ConvertToYUV()Tweak(Bright=10)

note, there is no AVIsynth function called ConvertToYUV() that I know of.
This is what is generating the error.. that, and the missing '.' inside
your script, above.

correctd source:

AviSource("D:\The Never Ending Story2.avi")
ConvertToYUY2().Tweak(Bright=10)

..should open your video source, now.

Good find, vhelp. I didn't notice it was missing the period.

You may want to investigate what is causing your brightness issue in your DVD to AVI process too.
