Kind of a different question but..How to insert a SINGLE....

[nemesys777]

Im trying to insert a SINGLE frame of video into pre-existing video that I already have..
For instance..I pull the .vob's off of a DVD. Then I use DVD2AVI to make VOB's readable in TMPGEnc. Now I need to know how to insert a single frame in any given place in the ripped VOB's/.mpeg-1
I've already tried turning a .jpg image into a mpeg-2 VOB file using TMPEnc..then I renamed my new VOB file to match the sequence of the VOB's that were ripped from the DVD.
04P00_1.VOB
04P00_2.VOB <----my single frame .jpeg file in mpeg2-vob format.
04P00_3.VOB
This allowed me to insert the single frame into the VOB sequence, but the final MPEG from TMPGEnc displayed the frame too slow. I think DVD2AVI made my single frame more frames...did some kinda motion morph to it. Anyways..Is there a way to insert a single frame into a sequence and still keep the ONE frame (e.g. not have it turn into 5 frames) and be able to keep the consecutive change over from sequence to sequence..in other words..not having the movie pause for a second when it gets to the switch. I dont know if I explained that well, but any help is greatly appreciated. Thx

feed the dvd2avi project to aviutil or thru vfapi to virtualdub & add your frame then frameserve to tmpgenc

As usual I add the Avisynth solution.

LoadPlugin("MPEG2DEC.dll")
v=mpeg2source("D:\dir\filename.d2v")
a=WAVSource("D:\dir\filename.wav")
AudioDub(v,a)
BilinearResize(448,404,0,0,720,576)
AddBorders(16,80,16,92)
clip1=Trim(0,999)
clip2=Trim(1000,0)
LoadPlugin("Avisynth BMP Loader.dll")
BlankClip(1,480,576,"YUY2",25,1,44100,true,true,$000000)
pic=AvisynthBMP_Loader("D:\dir","filename.bmp")
BilinearResize(pic,448,404)
AddBorders(16,80,16,92)
UnalignedSplice(clip1,pic,clip2)
ResampleAudio(44100)

All you have to do is to convert the *.jpg to *.bmp. Then you can load all the dvd2avi project, the wave audio and the single (silent) frame at once and frameserve to the MPEG encoder.
Good luck Mr. Durden.

Uhm, couldn't you just use the MPEG Stills option in VCDEasy to convert the picture to MPEG? I can't imagine why you would only want a single frame inserted in a video though... Are you trying to insert a subliminal message (like from that one episode of Babylon 5)?

HUN-YA!
