newbie avisnyth: whats the trick to run a script?!?!

[DaveQB]

finally got around to having a look at avisynth.

My problem is how the heck do u run the script you create?!?!

from what i can gather you can run it like a normal video file through a media player.

i tried the basic script

Version

in WMP but says it cant findthe file".......

i first tried a script to open a file

avisource("xxxxx")
or something like they have as your first script on the site, but same result in either WMP or VD.

whats the trick ??

are there additional dll files to add to after the installation or something

I assume you are frameserving to CCE? What version of avisynth?? You could use a small script like example below or CCE has a downloadable program now that is pretty much bulletproof for avi. Go to their site and download GoCCE if you are using an .avi file as it would seem.

Download of GoCCE (Supported tool for AviSynth) was started.
http://www.cinemacraft.com/eng/download.html#tool



loadplugin("C:\wherever_you_haveit\MPEG2DEC.dll")
v=mpeg2source("C:\your_movie.d2v")
a=wavsource("C:\your_audio.wav")
audiodub(v,a)

[DaveQB]

no actually i use VD

never used CCE

the version of avisynth is the latest on the site, i just downloaded it two days ago.

all i want to do it follow the tut on the site etc, but cant get the basics working

(script with 'version' in it to run, or any other script)

its just the execution of the script i need help with...so far

I ran into the same thing following the tutorial on the site (opening in Windows Media). I just took a leap of faith and VD had no issues as long as I remembered to save them as filename.avs and not .txt :P (me bad)

Anyway, just try the tutorial opening the files in VDub...

[DaveQB]

hmmm, i definately tried VD with a script in the "your first script..." page
something like

avisource("filename.avi")

and it didnt like it one bit.


hmmm, the first step is so hard
*hopefully it gets easier *

thanx

Go to http://nickyguides.digital-digest.com/synth-vdub.htm. There's a great guide there on how to use avisynth.

[DaveQB]

ok read that through quick,
there doesnt seem to be a trick to openning avs files.

maybe i need to manually instal avisynth, or re-install the installer version i have...

i'll check when i get home with the dll files it has installed.


thanx

I have succesfully use avisynth with any avi file but not DV AVI. I'm able to use DirectShowSource("*.avi") instead but no sound. Is there anything that I need to install so that the avisynth can process DV AVI file with sound?

[Dragonsf]

You need a VfW DV codec (like Adaptec(MainConcep/Sony/Panasonic) to get it working with sound.IMHO, VfW doesn't really like type 1 DVs.

I am running AVISynth v2.07 from http://www.avisynth.org and all I did to run the version command once AVISynth was installed was:

1. Open up "Notepad"
2. Type "version"
3. Pick "File->Save As", change the "Save as type" box to say "All Files" and enter a filename in the File Name box. The file name must end with ".avs" in order for AVISynth to work.
4. Open up Media Player and then "File->Open" and select the .avs file.

I haven't tried the latest beta version (2.5x) yet... waiting for it to become stable first.

I like to think I have used AVISynth extensively; I used it to edit my daughter's Christmas program for burning to VCD; it is quite versatile for the price- FREE!! 8)

ok, now it is working.

i wasnt doing anything wrong after all.

i re-installed it (again) and now it all works.

dunno

thanx guys

Now I can open the DV AVI file using avisynth and virtualdub after installing Panasonic DV Codec. The virtualdub will open the file correctly but not avisynth. The right side of the movie will go to the left and left side will go to the right in avisynth. First, I thought it was the codec problem, then I remove Panasonic and installed adaptec codec and see the same problem. I think I'm not using the right version of avisynth. Which version should I go, version 2.08 or version 2.5? Currently, I'm using version 2.5.

Maybe, by frameserving from Virtualdub to Avisynth will solve this problem.

DV hmmmm *envy*
