Help transitioning from avisynth to vapoursynth.

[zanzar]

i did a basic install of vapoursynth and got some basic scripts that include nnedi3,QTGMC etc

import vapoursynth as vs
import havsfunc as haf
core = vs.get_core()
clip = core.ffms2.Source(source='E:\Archive\\input video.avi')
clip = core.fmtc.resample (clip=clip, css="420")
clip = core.fmtc.bitdepth (clip=clip, bits=8)
clip = haf.QTGMC(clip, Preset='Slower', TFF=False)
clip = core.resize.Spline36(clip, 720, 540, format=vs.YUV422P10, matrix_in_s='709')
clip.set_output()

i can open a video and do basic stuff but what i really need is to rip DVD's, run scripts trough them and make them into an mkv file.
also i need to get "VapourSynth-Waifu2x-caffe" working to use it in the process.

https://github.com/HomeOfVapourSynthEvolution/VapourSynth-Waifu2x-caffe

i did all the stuff under "Note"

so few things.
1.need to figure , out how to rip DVD's , in avisyth i did it with DGindex , made a .d2v file and run it trough

MPEG2Source("D:\VideoTS\VIDEO_TS.d2v")
TFM()
TDecimate(Mode=1)

cant figute out what to use for vapoursynth
2.get "VapourSynth-Waifu2x-caffe" working, i added all the needed plugings
made it simple with this one

import vapoursynth as vs
core = vs.get_core()
clip = core.ffms2.Source(source=r'D:\Z.mp4')
clip = caffe.Waifu2x(clip clip[, int noise=0, int scale=2, int block_w=128, int block_h=block_w, int model=6, bint cudnn=True, int processor=0, bint tta=False, int batch=1])
clip.set_output()

gave me this error

Failed to evaluate the script:
Python exception: invalid syntax (, line 6)

Traceback (most recent call last):

clip =caffe.Waifu2x(clip clip[, int noise=0, int scale=2, int block_w=128, int block_h=block_w, int model=6, bint cudnn=True, int processor=0, bint tta=False, int batch=1])
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

i am a noob and all the things i've learned were from here or youtube so i might miss really obvious stuff that might be easy for you

Edit:i installed everything in 64bit

1. Try D2VWitch: https://github.com/dubhater/D2VWitch.git
Then you can add something like: clip = core.d2v.Source\(input=r"/media/drive/video.d2v") to your script

2. I don't think "[" en "]" should be in there. These indicate 'optional' settings as found in the documentation.

3. Also remove the 'int' and 'bint' words,,,

Greetings!

can you rephrase 2. there is double negative in the sentence

The [ ] are only in the documentation. Every parameter enclosed by [ ] is optional. You don't actually write them into your script.

well so it should look something like

import vapoursynth as vs
import havsfunc as haf
core = vs.get_core()
clip = core.ffms2.Source(source=r'D:\Z.mp4')
clip = caffe.Waifu2x(clip clip)
clip.set_output()

?

doesnt run

there are different values i will need to set later , i know what each one of them mean , i just want to get it working first

If you have in the documentation:
function(clip clip)

Then clip is the type of the variable with the name clip. VapourSynth knows that the first variable is of type clip so you don't need to actually write it. So you only write:
function(clip)

clip is only a name. Could also be quackquackimaduck:

import vapoursynth as vs
import havsfunc as haf
core = vs.get_core()
quackquackimaduck = core.ffms2.Source(source=r'D:\Z.mp4')
quackquackimaduck = caffe.Waifu2x(quackquackimaduck)
quackquackimaduck.set_output()

[sneaker]

clip is only a name. Could also be quackquackimaduck

To extend this a bit. This isn't always fully true. Because parameters can be named. E.g. you have in the documentation:
function2(clip clip[, int a, int b])

Then if you want to specfify clip to "quackquackimaduck" and b to "5", but leave a as default you can't write:
function2(quackquackimaduck, 5)
because then VapourSynth would think a="5", not b="5". You could then write:
function2(clip=quackquackimaduck, b=5)

This won't always work, though, I think. Depends on plugin. So beware.

well i guess i have some masters missing.
gave me this

i downloaded the "cudnn64_7.dll" (says it need to be in the search path,i've put it in the plugin folder)

waifu2x-caffe in vapoursynth only accepts 32bit, so you need to upconvert before

It would look something like this

Note, the path that I have for Waifu2x-caffe.dll is in a separate folder . cudnn64_7.dll is in the same folder at the same level as Waifu2x-caffe.dll . The models folder is in that same folder too

import vapoursynth as vs
core = vs.get_core()
core.std.LoadPlugin(r'PATH\Waifu2x-caffe.dll')
clip = core.ffms2.Source(source=r'D:\Z.mp4')
clip = core.fmtc.bitdepth(clip, bits=32)
clip = core.caffe.Waifu2x(clip, noise=1, scale=2, block_w=64, block_h=64, model=3, cudnn=True, processor=0, tta=False)
clip = core.fmtc.bitdepth(clip, bits=8)
clip.set_output()

Run small tests to see what block sizes run faster on your GPU, and for your source

thank you the preview oppened even tho its 64bit...

[poisondeathray]

thank you the preview oppened even tho its 64bit...

x64 , yes, but I'm referring to the video format bitdepth has to be 32bits per channel float , not 8bit video (0-255) like DVD-video

clip = core.fmtc.bitdepth(clip, bits=32) # <= this is upconverting to 32bits per channel

If you read the instructions
https://github.com/HomeOfVapourSynthEvolution/VapourSynth-Waifu2x-caffe

clip: Clip to process. Only planar format with float sample type of 32 bit depth is supported.
