AVISynth script archive

[kmv]

Hi,

I have decided to build an AVISynth script archive, one where you could search based on various source formats (DVD, capture device, etc.) for multiple sources, functions used, etc.

Granted, many of the scripts in the archive would be quite similar, but it seems to me that such an archive would be of assistance to us for those oddball DVDs that some distributors release, and the archive could be a real boon for all the newbies out there.

Scripts will be able to be posted anonymously or by registered authors, but only registered authors would be able to edit their existing scripts or submit a rating to other scripts.

Here is what I am capturing in the database so far:

Script: Title
Author (could be anonymous)
Script (the script itself)
Screenshot
AVISynth version
Superseded (a flag for admins to note that another script has superseded this script and a link to the new one)
Notes (anything of note that the author wants mention about the script)

Source Types: DVD: Title, Region, Format
Capture card: Title, Card name, Resolution, Frame rate
Fansub: Title, Codec, Resolution
Rough cut (for migration between tools): Codec, Resolution, Frame rate
Final cut (for post processing): Codec, Resolution, Frame rate

Script Rating: Rating (1-Broken, 2-Poor, 3-Standard, 4-Good, 5-Execlent)
Comment (reason for the rating)

What do people think, and is there anything else I should be capturing?

although the capture card isn't that relevant for avisynth (as it's working on an already made clip), a very important feature of such capture card is the chipsets used. there are mny capture cards manufacturers and models, but relatively few chipsets. therefore imho, you should add the video chipset (i.e. BT878) and the tuner (i.e. Philips PAL).

but then again, i don't think that the capture card is too important on an avisynth archive.

another important feature is the plugin version/date (i.e. MPEG2 input dll, etc), and an archive (local copy) of plugins that are used with the archived scripts, such that anyone is able to reproduce the original script behaviour (this might imply multiple archived versions of the same plugin).

i do like the script archive idea. good luck.
