Is there any software player that could display two avisynth projects side to side?

that could display two avisynth projects side to side for visual comparison? :confused:

[fabrice]

What about an avisynth script, using StackHorizontal? (and avisource to open avs file)?

I usually use mg262's CompareVersions. There are lots of ways to do it though (Interleave() for ex.).

Thanks for your answers! AVSCompare seems to cover my needs!

Another question:

Is there any way to understand which displayed frames are I,P and B at an AVS project?

[Manao]

Use directshowsource, and configure ffdshow to enable its OSD

Manao, thanks for your suggestion, i tried it and works but...

A) When i open the AVS project, FFDShow doesn't show the exact frame type (always shows I-frame)

B) When i open the file (5.5GB sized M2V) and playback it, Media Player Classic doesn't show the correct movie time, neither the correct frame number (instead of 2hours shows 1hour!), but shows the I,P,B frame type, however i cannot see which frame number is which frame type...

C) I open the AVS project with VirtualDub, but i don't see any option to set the decode display over FFDShow...

Any help?

The following avs file, when loaded in virtualdub, should make the ffdshow icon in the systray appear :DirectShowSource("myfile.m2v", fps=25)If it doesn't, then another decoder gets used, and you'll have to configure ffdshow in order it to get used : open the configuration page, and force it to decode mpeg2. You might need to increase its priority, or to deinstall other mpeg2 decoders that might get in the way. To know whether ffdshow will get used by DirectShowSource, get Graphedit and open the m2v file through it. If ffdshow filter doesn't appear, then it won't get used by DirectShowSource.

In your case (A), ffdshow shows only IFrames because it decodes the avs file, not the m2v.

@Manao, i have removed PowerDVD from the system, but VirtualDub won't open the FFDShow icon, here is what the GraphEdit showed,

Well, as I said, you've got to increase FFDShow's priority ( it's called "merit" in the GUI : Info&debug tab), and you've got to configure ffdshow to decode mpeg2 through libavcodec ( it's the Codecs tab this time ).
