AVIsynth help!

Hi,

I have created a avs file for my video. I am not sure what to try next. I tried to run, FAVC to create the files needed for a DVD, but when I go to the temp work directory there is some of the stuff there, I guess for the encoding. The problem is after the encoding I go to where the DVD files should be written and there is nothing in the audio or video directory that would be written to the DVD. I do not know what to do. Also, can you have more then one AVS file when creating a DVD or getting it encoded I guess it is called, as I have a number of them I want to add to create this DVD, but for a test I am just doing one AVS file? I do not know what to check. I have tried it with both built in encoders in the FAVC program. Is there a better way to do this?

Hope to hear from some one soon...

You can several avs files to a FAVC session, or a mixture of avs and video files.

As to why yours isn't working, there are a few things to check

1. Do you get an error messages from FAVC ?
2. What files are in your working folder when FAVC completes ?
3. You will not find anything in the audio_TS folder. That is normal and not a cause for concern.
4. If you open you avs file in virtualdub, what do you see ?

Hello,

Thank you for getting back to me and for the information.

1. I get no errors. Just a warning when doing second pass of encoding of small source mismatch found in pass2.
2. The video_TS folder is empty, the Working Folder has:
BatchMux.ini
Title0.avs
Title0.ini
Title0.m2v
Title0Info.avs
Title0Info.txt
Title.bat
TitleChap0.txt
TitleInfo.bat
4. Virtual Dub I load in the script and it works fine.

Can it be something as stupid as I have to have change the size of the video to 720x480 as it is in 640x480 and I thought it would do it on its own?

[guns1inger]

g-spot the m2v file. I suspect you will find it is DVD compliant, 720 x 480 (if you chose NTSC as your format) and has the right running time. You can also open it in Media Player Classic and test play it to make sure.

What you do seem to be missing is the AC3 file required for audio. Can you post your script to make sure it isn't killing the audio.

Hello,

Here is the souce code, the sound works fine in Virtual dub:

vid00=AVISource("E:\My Videos\HCS_10_11_08\Heats\AVI\street_heat_1.avi"). fadein(10)
adj01=vid00.AssumeFPS(29.970000)
adj01.FadeOut2(40)
LoadPlugin("E:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\degrainmedian.dll")
DeGrainMedian(limitY=5,limitUV=7,mode=0)
DeGrainMedian(limitY=5,limitUV=7,mode=0)
ResampleAudio(44100)

I can not figure out how to get gspot to export to a file. I have manually entered a location but it is not writing anything.

Hello,

I might have found part of the problem, it does not like to have the FAVC loaded on the E:\ drive. I think that was stopping it from working, will let you know as I continue to work on it.

THanks again for your time.

[guns1inger]

Why are you resampling your audio to 44100 ? DVD Audio is 48000, so FAVC is only going to resample it again. Either resample to 48000 in your script, or don't resample at all in your script.

Hello,

I can try that, I was orignally used AVSGenie to create the code and it adds that automatically. I have also removed both copies I had and reinstalled it to the c drive and it is still doing the same, no sound file being created. Anything else to try?

[helper]

Hello,

I have the code down to

AVISource("E:\My Videos\HCS_10_11_08\Heats\AVI\Sportsman_heat1.avi" ).fadein(10)
AssumeFPS(29.970000)
FadeOut2(40)
LoadPlugin("E:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\degrainmedian.dll")
DeGrainMedian(limitY=5,limitUV=7,mode=0)
DeGrainMedian(limitY=5,limitUV=7,mode=0)

and still no sound file being created. I am so stumped on this..

[guns1inger]

Do you get audio when you play the avs file ?

[helper]

Guns1inger,

Thanks a ton for the help. Sorry to say, there is nothing that can be done to prevent stupidity. I was closing the text window that was opening up assuming it was done, that is why nothing was working. I left it open and it did the audio and wrote it out so it could be burned to dvd. Sorry for wasting your time and thank you for your efforts.

Being that you have seen my coding is there anything else I need to add or change that might make it better?

[guns1inger]

The rest is fine.
