Divx throught Avisynth without re-encoding

[nicco]

I have an old Divx movie and I wanto to treat it with some AVS'filters. I open the avs script in Vdub to save the treated movie, but I have to recompress it (Divx - fast recompress mode). Is there a way to do something like a direct stream copy of my avs-treated divx movie?

Nope! You will have to reencode it. You can also use ffdshow and add some avs filters during playback.

you can do a little trick if youre computer is fast enough. try playing the script in your fastest or most preferred player and see if it can play back without slowing down or dropping frames. if it can do so, then there's an easy solution. simply pay the script in your player and forget recompressing. AND as a plus, you have two copies of your video, but only take up the space of one.

Hmm... Two almost identical threads in the same day (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=74989).

To filter a video, you must decompress and recompress.

If you're set against recompression, you can use ffdshow for playback (depending on the filters you want).
