Source for mkv's

[Tuik]

Hello,

I've here some mkv's (with h364 codec) i would like to open in avisynth.

For avi's i know the best way to load them into avisynth it's using the AVISource. But for mkv's i don't have any idea. I tried DirectShowSource and FFMpegSource2 and, although they actually work, i'm not sure if they are the best options available. What do you suggest? Thanks

Demux to elementary .h264 in TSMuxer (not all audio stream types supported) or MKVExtractGUI and use DGAVCIndex/AVCSource.

What's best for you may be different than what's best for me. I prefer to index with DGDecNV or FFmpegSource2 and serve to Avisynth.

Thanks,

So, do you think this is a good script?

Loadplugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\FFMS2.dll")
Import("C:\Program Files (X86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Soothe.avs")
Import("C:\Program Files (X86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\LSFMod.avs")

FFmpegSource2("video.mkv")

dull = last
sharp = dull.LSFMod(ss_x=1.0,ss_y=1.0, Smode=5, strength=1000)
Soothe( sharp, dull, 30 )

Thank you for the help!

I have used both DirectShowSource and FFMpegSource2 and yes they work. However using MKVExtractGUI and DGAVCIndex/AVCSource has proven more stable and reliable for me on many occasions. I don't even consider another method now.

What works with VFR ?

What works with VFR ?Anything that doesn't extract to raw streams, thus removing timestamps. Though technically if you're using Avisynth, you have to create timecode files no matter what you do, since Avisynth is CFR-only.
