Quicktime export from AVISynth/Vdub?

[hot digital dog]

HI,

I'm new to avisynth having only discovered it a few weeks ago so please forgive my ignorance.

When using V/dub to open a avs file there are a number of export options with various copmpression schemes as per what's loaded on my system. Is it possible to get either avisynth alone - or v/dub to export an unompressed quicktime? Do I need a plugin for this?

Thanks,

hdd.

quicktime isnt like your standard codec software, like divx or indeo. quicktime codecs require the quicktime player to operate. programs like adobe premiere can export quicktime only if the software is installed and 'plugged in'. virtualdub doesnt support opening or saving quicktime videos (and none of its mods either, to my knowledge).

avisynth is capable of opening some quicktime movies with DirectShowSource, but thats it. AVIsynth doesn't save new videos. it provides video for other applications. and virtualdub only supports avi and mpeg videos. no quicktime

i recommend you use divx over quicktime for windows systems. its much faster and less draining on your system.

my quicktime 6 pro wasnt able to open an avs script so as far as i know, what you want to do can't be done, unless you have software that supports quicktime export (such as adobe premiere).

I've never tried it but you can probably frameserve to a Quicktime Pro 6 encoder using either:

1. the "Make AVI" option of FFvfw codec,or..

Download the codec and install it on your computer. (It will appear in the codec window of VirtualDub, but that's not important right now)

Once the codec is installed go to start,Programs, FFvfw, Make AVI and select it. Find your avs file and open in in the window that pops up then select a name for the fake avi file you will be making and save it.

Now open the file fake avi file in Quicktime encoder and make your Quicktime video there.

2. VFAPI codec with read.avs

This method is a little more complex so try the first one before trying to figure out how to do this.

Hope this helps. Of course this presumes you really need an Quicktime file and don't want to use divX5 or Xvid, or WMV9 vfw in VirtualDub
