Frameserve: AviSynth x VirtualDub - Make it FASTER!

[dudulho]

Hello everyone.

I'm Brazilian and most of movies I get on the Internet are in english (also dubbed).

Because of this, I always put the subtitles im my language in a VCD (not SVcd, but please dont let start a battle of formats, ok? - I get some reasons to make this type of encoding anyway) with the movie.

I always use PERMANENT subtitles, so I frameserve all times.

I use virtualdub to frameserve and put the subs in the movie.

But it is really slooow...

So I want to try some diferents ways to get some speed.

I had tried some frameserve with AviSynth (only the movie, without subs) and I realize that frameserve with AviSynth is Faster (sometimes 2,5x faster), but i cant make it frameserve my subtitle with the movie.

I Always get some kind of error, whatever i try.

For example, look this script that I modify using some directions on the www.avisynth.org:

AviSource("c:\film\film.avi")
BicubicResize(320,126,0,0.6,54,0,531,272)

This works (frameserve to CCE) and also I can open it in WMP.

When I modify it to make it include the Sub:

LoadPlugin("c:\virtualdub\textsub.vdf")
AviSource("c:\film\film.avi")
TextSub("c:\film\film.sub")
BicubicResize(320,126,0,0.6,54,0,531,272)

As you can see in the code, I'm using TextSub from VOBSub package. It Works well in Vdub, so I imagine that the plugin is OK.

When I Open in WMP i get a error.
When I try to encode in CCE, it freeze.

I Also tried to change de script, because of a recomendation in AviSynth.org to use the filter "DirectShowSource()", and it also dont works.

If any of you know how to make this, please post here. put some examples...
I will be very gratefull.

Well my friends...

Because nobody puts any question or solution here, I had tried many others times...

So I finally get it to work...

Some words...

"Ever put the FULL PATH to every file..."

Never forget that. I will not. No more...

Also for avisynth I have found 2 things are important...

1) Get an updates copy from www.avisynth.org

2) Be sure you are feeding filters what they want ( RGB OR YUYV soon YV12 )

Snowmoon, how do I detect witch filter to use?
I imagine that I must look in the source file? Or the filters apply to the destination file?

thanks for posting.
