AV1 codec in Virtualdub

[jairovital]

I have some plugins like "FFMpeg Suported Files", "FFMpeg (All formats)", "DirectShow Input Driver" to open different codecs onto Virtualdub.
But videos from Youtube encoded with AV1 codec commonly to freeze Vdub.


Does anybody know a way to open such videos without problems?

[jairovital]

Thank you, Nilzzon, but how to open files?

I installed xAV1vfw and tried to open file using:

Default file types
FFMpeg Suported Files
FFMpeg (All formats)
DirectShow Input Driver

and dragging the file directly to Vdub.

No success.

User VirtualDub2 instead.

User VirtualDub2 instead.

Than you, jagabo, but...

Lsmash/LwLibAVVideoSource works ok

[jagabo]

Oops, the video I thought was AV1 when I tested VirtualDub2 was not AV1. You may have to resort to using AviSynth to open the file in VirtualDub(2) using the the LSMASH source filter.

LWLibavVideoSource("filename.ext")

[jairovital]

Hi, guys.

Sorry for delaying too much, but I couldn't answer early.

Using LWLibavVideoSource with AvsPmod 2.5.1, I got this error:

"There is no function named WLibavVideoSource"


So...


Edit:
I put LSMASHSource.dll in Avisynth (2.60) plugin folder.
Windows 7 here.

[jagabo]

If you're using 32 bit AviSynth make sure you put the 32 bit lsmashsource.dll in the AviSynth plugins folder.

"There is no function named WLibavVideoSource"

typo? missing "L" ?

[jairovital]

"There is no function named WLibavVideoSource"

No. I wrote the right command. But made a typo mistake when writing here.

If you're using 32 bit AviSynth make sure you put the 32 bit lsmashsource.dll in the AviSynth plugins folder.

Yes, using 32 bit Avisynth.
I searched for 32 bit version of LSMASH Source and got this from Doom9 forum:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3i81ttxf028m1eh/AAABkQn4Y5w1k-toVhYLasmwa?dl=0

There are 6 files:
avcodec-57.dll
avformat-57.dll
avresample-3.dll
avutil-55.dll
LSMASHSource.dll
swscale-4.dll
and I put all in plugins folder.

Same error...

[poisondeathray]

Those are from 2017, AV1 probably not supported

These are more recent and come with x86 and x64 versions

And this is 64 bit, I guess.
Already tried and didn't work...

[jairovital]

I also tried to install Avisynth 3.7.0 (Avisnth+) and AvsPmod didn't open (said there is no Avisynth installed).

What a pain to open an AV1 script...

[poisondeathray]

You already tried the newer version, the x86 .dll ? And it was the same error message "no function named..." ?

The other option is ffms2 as the source filter

Here is a fairly recent one

Requires a password.


Edit:
Second link is OK. No password.

The password is in the post

The problem is if you use older source filters, they often do not have AV1 support. You need some within the last year or so

[jairovital]

Thank you guys, but I give up...

Installed many versions of Avisynth, LSMASH, ffmpegsource,...
Registry and system folders became full of inconsistencies and...

Maybe tomorrow, I'll try again.

No, it has both 64 bit (x64 folder) and 32 bit (x86 folder).

[jairovital]

I'm back, after some waste of time trying to load an AV1 codec into Virtualdub.

Probably, I'm doing something wrong, because I tried all tips above without success.
To get a concrete example, I want to load this video, after download it:

Hues Corporation - Rock The Boat • TopPop

I got this file:

I'm using AvsPMod portable 2.5.1
My Avisynth is 2.60
Windows 7 SP1


Plugin folder has:

    avcodec-57.dll
    avformat-57.dll
    avresample-3.dll
    avutil-55.dll
    colors_rgb.avsi
    DirectShowSource.dll
    ffms2.dll
    ffms2.lib
    ffmsindex.exe
    LSMASHSource.dll
    swscale-4.dll
    TCPDeliver.dll

Trying the following Avisynth commands:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth\plugins\ffms2.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth\plugins\LSMASHSource.dll")

v1=DirectShowSource("Hues Corporation - Rock The Boat - TopPop.mkv")
v1=FFVideoSource("Hues Corporation - Rock The Boat - TopPop.mkv")
v1=ffms2_FFVideoSource("Hues Corporation - Rock The Boat - TopPop.mkv")
v1=WLibavVideoSource("Hues Corporation - Rock The Boat - TopPop.mkv")

return v1

Error is about "There is no function...".
Also tried one by one of above.
And tried without "LoadPlugin" command.

I read about Avisynth+ and got installed it too, but I'm afraid if it's making conflicting or something...

What is wrong? Any suggestions to do?

[jairovital]

With "DirectShowSource" command, I got "No video" message, no errors.

[jagabo]

DriectShowSource() will only work if DirectShow is set up for the container and the codecs.

I don't think ffVideoSource() supports AV1. The version I have doesn't.

You have a typo in the LSMASH line

v1=WLibavVideoSource(...

should be:

v1=LWLibavVideoSource(...

Only the last of those works for me. And you want to include only one of them in your script.

[Alwyn]

Odd. I used 4k Video Downloader and it gives VP9 and H264 options for the download. The "Stats for nerds" shows AV1.

DriectShowSource() will only work if DirectShow is set up for the container and the codecs.

How to set it up to do so?

You have a typo in the LSMASH line

Yes, but even fixing it, I still got an error...

Only the last of those works for me. And you want to include only one of them in your script.

Where are your LSMASHSource.dll?

If I load it (LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth\plugins\LSMASHSource.dll")), I get:
Unable to load plugin error 0xc1

I I don't load, I get this:
Script error: There is no function named WLibavVideoSource.

[jairovital]

In other words...



I copied this to Avisynth folders.

ffms2.dll
ffms2.lib
ffmsindex.exe

With this,

v1=FFVideoSource("video.mkv")

or this:

v1=ffms2_FFVideoSource("video.mkv")

I get this error:

No video track found

But it creates video.ffindex file.


If I use other version of ffmpeg, I get this error:

Script error: There is no function named FFVideoSource

or

Script error: There is no function named ffms2_FFVideoSource

With this:

v1=DirectShowSource("video.mkv")

I get no error, but this message:

No video

I copied LSMASHSource.dll to Avisynth folders.

If I load it in the script,

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth\plugins\LSMASHSource.dll")

I get:

Unable to load plugin error 0xc1

If I don't load, I get this:

Script error: There is no function named LWLibavVideoSource

[jairovital]

In the middle of this codec nightmare, I think I got a little light ahead.

Alwyn talked about 4kvideodownloader.
It uses VP9 and this codec I can open via AvsPMod and Virtualdub.

If nothing else works, I'll download video with VP9 codec instead of AV1.

But the question will remain: what did I do wrong?

[davexnet]

create a simple one line script with this line, and when you drop it onto Vdub2 or mpc-hc, you'll get a box that gives
you some basic Avisynth build info. If this works it confirms the installation is OK

version()

Secondly, download the Avisynth info tool and extract it to a folder. In windows Explorer you navigate to it,
hold down the shift key/right click with the mouse and select "open command window"
https://www.videohelp.com/download/AVSInfoTool113.7z

Then when the CMD window opens type in

avsinfotool

and it will open a box and tell you about your installation, including good/bad plugins and other errors
