FAVC Help with error..

[helper]

Hello,

I am converting the following avi script to a DVD but it is getting to the sound part of the encoding and is coming up with error cannot find PCM audio track:

LoadPlugin("E:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\QTSource.dll")
v1=QTInput("E:\My Videos\CCMP 10-18-08\100_2670.mov",color = 2, quality = 100, audio = true, mode=2).Fadein(10).AssumeFPS(29.970000)
v2=QTInput("E:\My Videos\CCMP 10-18-08\100_2671.mov",color = 2, quality = 100, audio = true, mode=2).Fadein(10).AssumeFPS(29.970000)
v3=QTInput("E:\My Videos\CCMP 10-18-08\100_2672.mov",color = 2, quality = 100, audio = true, mode=2).Fadein(10).AssumeFPS(29.970000)
v4=QTInput("E:\My Videos\CCMP 10-18-08\100_2673.mov",color = 2, quality = 100, audio = true, mode=2).Fadein(10).AssumeFPS(29.970000)

alignedsplice(v1,v2,v3,v4)

ConvertToYV12(interlaced=false)
ConvertAudioTo16bit()

Similar coding worked for the first 2 video to go on the DVD. Any suggestions or helpful tips would be appreciated..


Thanks in advance..

You can try converting the audio in the quicktime files to another format. MpegStreamclip should work pretty fast. Also, if I recall there's a "use DirectshowSource" checkbox on the advanced tab of FAVC. You can try that.

Hello,

I am not sure on the first part how to incorporate that into the coding, as I am very new at this and still learning by trying.

As for the use directshowsource, it is use directshowsource for avi instead of avisource. Since I am not use avisource, would this have an effect?

Thanks for the help...

[Soopafresh]

You have to determine what your source files are. By the code you posted above, they look like Quicktime .MOV files. That means you have to convert them a certain way. DirectShowSource should work with that file format.

Hello,

Ran into another problem with the mpegstreamclip, everytime I open a video it crashes in XP sp 3 using quicktime 7.3, any ideas on what is causing that?

Thanks in advance

[Soopafresh]

That's probably the same reason why FAVC is struggling with converting those files. Your source files might be messed up in some way.

Only thing I can think of (and it might not work) is to remove Quicktime and install QuicktimeAlternative . It might be more forgiving.

Hello,

Thanks for the advice. I did get the quicktime alternative and now mpegsterclip is working. I am trying to reencode the code above just as it is to see if it works. If it does not work what else should I try?

Hope to hear from you soon...

[Soopafresh]

Hopefully that should do it.

Hello,

I truely thank you. I did encode it while I was out tonight and it worked with no gliches. So, now I am trying the entire night of racing to put on to a DVD.

Thanks again...
