@jmnk

have you installed avisynth? wmp11 or wmfdist11.exe, have you the varius msvcrXX.dll and the WMEncoder9.exe ?

@jmnk: I ran into the same, updting to the last version of .net solved the problem for me.

Nic,

Do you have any idea why AVS2ASF's -ratecontrol is only working with "3 = 2-pass peak constrained VBR" option?

[Kurtnoise]

you should post your whole command line...

If you don't specify any -ratecontrol the assumed/default -ratecontrol will be "3", so just add any -ratecontrol but "3" in the "Example.bat" included with the AVS2ASF.rar package.

For example:

AVS2ASF -i Test.avs -o ElementryStream.asf -framerate 25 -rate 1200 -profiletype 2 -bframes 2 -maxkeydist 6 -vbv 300000 -peakrate 2000 -ratecontrol 0

Is there any other way for getting a 720p encoded wmv video compatible with sonic BDA.

I found a VC1 es Writer but thatone doesnt seems to work.

For now i use VC-1 Encoder SDK and create avchd disc's with scenarist,but would be better for quality if reencode was not
necessary.

greetz,

thanks, that indeed was the problem.

Going by the help text, i thought this should work;

AVS2ASF.exe -i am_test.avs -o encoded.vc1 -framerate 25 -profiletype 2 -bframes 2 -maxkeydist 6 -qp 95 -ratecontrol 1

However it gives me an -20 error. Any ideas ?

That's the problem I reported. Glad to see I'm not alone (unfortunately).

[R3Z]

So does this build not support the constant quality (qp) option or is the command line wrong ?

Sorry I haven't been posting. I will look into this when I get some time. Moving to the other side of London and juggling a production release at work - So a little busy at present

I can appreciate that I just had a horrible feeling i couldnt even get the command line correct.

Hello benwaggoner,

MC Ref v1.0 would use it, the VC-1 Encoder SDK?

if it is true, Would it support 2 pass VBR encoding?

Thank you..

I'm not surehat "MC Ref" is, but yes, the Pro SDK supports 2-pass VBR among the other usual modes.

Hi benwaggoner,

a big thank you for helping to make the ProSDK available and thanks for the clarification on the several editions in your blog post. I feel, it was not an easy decision to open the ProSDK, but it is the right one and will help VC-1 to get even more momentum.

[guada2]

MC Ref = Mainconcept reference
"surehat" ? I don't understand..

Surely, but it possible that MC Ref have limits.
Of course, It is possible that I missed something or i am mistaken.

Bye.

Ah. Main Concept doesn't use the VC-1 Encoder SDK. Their low-cost verison is 1-pass only for all codecs AFAIK. Very limited for practical purposes.

@benwaggoner

Thank you for this clarification.
And, cheer for your work.
