Avisynth frameserving

[ray3d]

I used to be able to frameserve from VirtualDub to TMPGenc. Now, TMPGEnc can't open my frameserve ".vdr" file. I think that I used to have a ".dll" in my plugins folder, but I'm not sure what it was called or where I got it. Can anyone help me to reinstall this function?

Hmm, where is here Avisynth?

@Abond

here is newbie


hardest thing about frameserving for me, was everytime i'd formatted my pc, i'd never remember the all steps to install a frameserver

hope this helps:

Problem solved! Thank you, Dani82.

I'm with Abond. What's this have to do with AviSynth? However, it should be about AviSynth, as frameserving through VDub is inferior compared to using AviSynth for the job.

[ray3d]

I was under the impression that Avisynth was providing the frameserving. If I am incorrect, how would this be achieved using Avisynth?

Well, I don't use TMPGEnc, but can't you open the .avs directly in TMPGEnc (after adding ConvertToRGB32() at the bottom)? If something else is required, then perhaps someone else can help.

[dani82]

wow! somehow, i'd blocked all recollection of avisynth being involved with this thread, which would explain Abond's reply; so Abond, i apologize for the slight remark

what does "ConvertToRGB32()" do, should i be using it? i only uses avisynth for adding subs and de-interlacing, so does it matter?

Hi-

TMPGEnc requires the RGB colorspace. I don't know if it'll accept a non-RGB source before converting it (like I said, I don't use it), but since AviSynth's colorspace conversion routines are better, it's a good idea to do the conversion in AviSynth before feeding it to TMPGEnc. For the same reason (better colorspace conversion), it's also usually a good idea to convert to the YUY2 colorspace in the .avs before frameserving to CCE.

[Abond]

For TMPG should be converttoRGB24(). Though I think if one has XviD installed and a ReadAVS.dll placed in the TMPG directory (and registered to TMPG of course) it can be done without this line.
ReadAVS.dll can be found here:http://www.avisynth.org/warpenterprises/ . Scroll down to the very bottom and look at "Other stuff".

Good, thanks for the correction, Abond.
