DVTimeStampEx

[pbwgap]

Hi,

I have recently started editing DV from my camera and converting them to DVD. But, I ran into some problems.

I am trying to use DVTimeStampEx plugin with AVISynth, to print the date for about 10 seconds whenever the date changes in the original clip, but not able to get it to work. Can some body post a sample script please to do the above?

As Scenalyzer splits the files into 2Gb chunks, how can I apply this filter selectively at different points in the final clip?

I use the following set of softwares for my job.

Scenalyzer to capture DV
AVISynth to edit and apply filters
CCE to convert to MPEG2
FFPMEG to convert audio
TMPG DVD Author to author and burn

I have done a lot of analogue captures and conversions, but only recently started the DV stuff.

Can somebody help?

Hi,

No to help me? I am using the following lines in the script.

LoadPlugin("DVTimeStampEx.dll")
DVAutoTimeStampEx(D:\DV\Capture.avi, dateformat = {dd.MM.yyyy}, threshold= "43200", autolength = "250", skiperrors = "1")

But it ends with an error as follows.

Script error:expected a, or )
Line 29 column 20

Someone please help!

Thanks[/img]

This could be caused by something missing earlier in the script. Can you post the whole script so we can these lines in context ?

Thanks for the reply. Here is my full script.

# 01
video = "D:\DV\Capture.avi"
audio = ""
masktop = 8
maskbottom = 8
maskleft = 8
maskright = 8
fadeINframes = 12
fadeOUTframes = 12
#End01

# 02
LoadPlugin("DVTimeStampEx.dll")
DVAutoTimeStampEx(D:\DV\Capture.avi, dateformat = {dd.MM.yyyy}, threshold= "43200", autolength = "250", skiperrors = "1")
#End02

# 03
ConvertToYUY2()
# Denoise
LoadPlugin("Convolution3d.dll")
SeparateFields()
odd=SelectOdd.Convolution3D (0, 6, 10, 6, 8, 2.8, 0)
evn=SelectEven.Convolution3D (0, 6, 10, 6, 8, 2.8, 0)
Interleave(evn,odd)
Weave()
# Fade-In and Fade-Out
Reverse.FadeOut(fadeINframes).Reverse
FadeOut(fadeOUTframes)
#End03

# 04
Letterbox(masktop,maskbottom)
# mask Left and Right (width and height are variables of AviSynth)
maskwidth=(width-maskright)-maskleft
maskheight=height
crop(maskleft,0,maskwidth,maskheight)
addborders(maskleft,0,maskright,0)
#End04
#EndAll

Thanks for the help.

I believe the line "Reverse.FadeOut(fadeINframes).Reverse" needs a () at the end.

Edit: Or you could replace the line with a fadein(fadeINframes).
