VirtualDub+AviSynth - Error Code

[Dr.Who]

Ok guys so I am new to AviSynth.I downloaded a script for video enhancing and I have a problem with it.The path of the video is not specified and I don't know where/how to add it.

I would be appreciate your responses.Thank you very much!

The code:


#REMOVE DIRT FUNCTION
#................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................
function RemoveDirt(clip input, int limit, bool _grey)
{
clensed=input.Clense(grey=_grey, cache=4)
alt=input.RemoveGrain(2)
return RestoreMotionBlocks(clensed,input,alternative=alt, pthreshold=6,cthreshold=8, gmthreshold=40,dist=3, dmode=2,debug=false,noise=limit,noisy=4, grey=_grey)

# Alternative settings
# return RestoreMotionBlocks(clensed,input,alternative=alt, pthreshold=4,cthreshold=6, gmthreshold=40,dist=1,dmode=2,debug=false,noise=li mit,noisy=12,grey=_grey,show=true)
# return RestoreMotionBlocks(clensed,input,alternative=alt, pthreshold=6,cthreshold=8, gmthreshold=40,dist=3,tolerance= 12,dmode=2,debug=false,noise=limit,noisy=12,grey=_ grey,show=false)
}

function RemoveDirtMC(clip,int limit, bool "_grey")
{
_grey=default(_grey, false)
limit = default(limit,6)
i=MSuper(clip,pel=2)
bvec = MAnalyse(i,isb=false, blksize=8, delta=1, truemotion=true)
fvec = MAnalyse(i,isb=true, blksize=8, delta=1, truemotion=true)
backw = MFlow(clip,i,bvec)
forw = MFlow(clip,i,fvec)
clp=interleave(backw,clip,forw)
clp=clp.RemoveDirt(limit,_grey)
clp=clp.SelectEvery(3,1)
return clip
}

What format is your video? You need a source filter to load the video

e.g.

AVISource("PATH\video.avi")
#some filter


you don't need to specify the "PATH" if the .avs script is in the same directory as the video

you might want to have a look at the basic tutorials for getting started
http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/Main_Page
http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/First_script
http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/Getting_started

[Dr.Who]

thank you.the video is ".avi",virtual dub (not mod) accepts only avi.

[poisondeathray]

vdub accepts avs scripts

1) install avisynth

2) write the script in notepad , save it, change the extension for .txt to .avs

3) load that .avs into vdub

[Dr.Who]

when i try to load the script it says "the script's return value is not a videoclip"....

[poisondeathray]

post your exact script . The "PATH" should be replaced by the actual directory path C:\folder\etc , wherever your file is located. If it's in same directory as video, then you can omit it. Change the filenames to match

AVISource("video.avi")

[Dr.Who]

AVISource("D:\video.avi")
#REMOVE DIRT FUNCTION

}

[poisondeathray]

Your video is called "video.avi?" and it's in the D directory ?

You also need to use the filter, you have only listed the function but haven't called it

e.g.
AVISource("somevideo.avi")
RemoveDirtMC(10,false)

[Dr.Who]

yep.

I see.but i want to use the whole script.how can I specifiy a filter

[poisondeathray]

Do you still get the same error message ?

Can you open the video in gspot or mediainfo? what does it say about the video?

[Dr.Who]

I can open the video in virtual dub.i can open it in sony vegas,mediainfo,everything.
When I open it with the specified path it says:
"AVI Source: couldn't locate a decompressor four fourcc dvsc"

[poisondeathray]

you need a vfw dv decoder

eg. cedocida

[Dr.Who]

WOW!It really works now!Thanks a lot!

[Dr.Who]

Hey.I got another problem with the scripts.the original one was meant to make a comparision between videos and I wanted to know if it's possible to delete it.

Hey.I got another problem with the scripts.the original one was meant to make a comparision between videos and I wanted to know if it's possible to delete it.

Change the line

result="resultS3" # specify the wanted output here

to

result="result3" # specify the wanted output here

That line specifies which of the various results you want the script to produce.

See the script for what the different results are, eg

#RESULT3: AUTOLEVELS, MANUAL COLOR CORRECTIONS

By adding 'S' in the name, eg resultS3, you get a comparison with the original.

[Dr.Who]

thank you!

edit: it says avisynth autodetect: couldn't open file error code 2...

[Dr.Who]

Sorry for double post,but,nobody?

[poisondeathray]

film="D:\03_RemoveDirtMC.avi" # source clip, please specify the full path here

replace that line with your filename with full path

You have to modify a lot of the script for your specific source - videofred's script is for 8mm film transfer and the frame rate will be incorrect

[jagabo]

The script you posted has many space characters in the middle of names and numbers. Are those actually in the script or is it just the post that's messed up? For example, near the end is the line:

resultS1= stackhorizontal(subtitle(source4,"original",size=2 8,align=2)...

There's a space between the 2 and 8 of what should read "size=28". And in:

result4= denoised.coloryuv(off_U=blue,off_V=red).levels(bla ck_level,1.0,white_level,0,255)\

There a space between the a and c of what should read "black_level".

All the loadplugin() lines need the full path to the files.

[Dr.Who]

@poisondeathray - that's the filename with the full path
@jagabo it's because of the page.

[jagabo]

avisynth autodetect: couldn't open file error code 2...

That means the file wasn't found. Are you sure the filename is correct?

film="D:\03_RemoveDirtMC.avi" # source clip, please specify the full path here

Is the name of the file really "D:\03_RemoveDirtMC.avi" ?

Yeah that's the name.This is the personalised version of the script.
