where to get Avisource?

[ou8thisSN]

okay, so i just got home froms school about 3 days ago and need to do some video stuff that I supposedly learned how to do months ago by reading the doom9 guides. The problem is that I reformatted my computer before I left, so now I am reinstalling all the apps i need, including Avisynth.

I am ready to encode and i get a CCE/Vdub error that says:

CCE error:
"Frame size 952 x 56 not supported. Supported frame size up to 720 x 576."

Vdub error:
"AviSynth Open Failure:
AviSynth: could not locate a decompressor for fourcc dsvd (line 1)


Here is my script:


aviSource("D:\A_DV_to_DVD_Files\Justin_wedding\Justin_wedding_Vdub.avi")
Letterbox(64,64)
SeparateFields()
ConverttoYUY2()
ReInterpolate411()
odd=SelectOdd.Convolution3D(1, 6, 10, 6, 8, 2.8, 0)
evn=SelectEven.Convolution3D(1, 6, 10, 6, 8, 2.8, 0)
Interleave(evn,odd)
Weave()
DoubleWeave.SelectOdd()


when i replace AviSource with DirectShowSource, the script loads fine in Vdub and CCE, but AviSource USED TO work just fine before I reformatted/reinstalled and now it doesnt. WTF? I didnt think it was a special plug-in I had to download, and didnt find any reference to a stand-alone on Warner Enterprises. Help? What am I missing here?

You need to install a VfW DV Decoder like the Panasonic DV Codec.
Look here:

If AVISource were a plug-in and if it were missing, AviSynth would report an error saying that "AVISource" is an unrecognized function.

Instead it said that you're missing a codec.

thanks communist, sticky boy. I had to reinstall the panasonic DV codec, its working fine now. I thought it was already installed when Win XP pro is installed and the firewire card is installed. Oh well. Thanks for the quick response though.

you'd have got the MS DV codec, which is directshow only. so your options are use directshowsource or get a VfW DV codec (btw, ffdshow can do it, and there's a new open source DV codec in the DV forum here).
