Help adding pre-rendering job TGMC script

elbennodiablo · 26th May 2010, 16:06

Hi everybody, I was new to most of Avisynth scripting until three weeks ago. After readings lots of posts on the Avisynth Wikis and Doom9 threads, I learned a lot!

At the moment I want to deinterlace standard PAL DV videos (with TempGaussMC_beta1) that are quite long. Of course with TempGaussMC_beta1 the whole conversion lasts long, and I was happy to read that we can add pre-rendered jobs. When I try this however, the second run won't work. Maybe somebody could help me please? I have been searching the threads for a long time, but have not found an answer for this problem.

This is what happens:

I use the following script:

-----
AVISource("C:\Documents and Settings\BENNO\Desktop\New\megui\1.avi", audio=true)
Converttoyv12(interlaced=true)
TempGaussMC_beta1(edimode="nnedi2").SelectEven()
-----

... to convert DV PAL video "1.avi". In Megui I open the avs scipt the script, see the preview screen, click the box "ad pre-rendering job", encoder settings on "X264: Unrestricted 1pass Lossless", file format MP4. For audio input I direct to "1.avi", encoder settings on LAME MP3: *Scratchpad* (CBR 160).

I then press the AutoEncode button and it is on "No target size (Use profile settings)". I press Queue and then start the encoding. After the first run I get an error for Job 3:

Megui created the video "hfyu_1.avi", but job 3 cannot process it. It is a FFmpeg Lossless HuffYUV video, without audio. Could anybody please help me how to fix this?

It seems you just need a VFW decoder for HuffYUV.
FFdshow can do it (just set it to decode HuffYUV in the VFW config panel)

The ffdshow Decoder settings for Huffyuv were already set from 'disabled' > libavcodec. So that should not be the problem(?)

FFdshow can be used as a directshow filter or as a VFW decoder. There are two distincts menu to set formats to decode (one for directshow and one for VFW). Please be sure you set it in the VFW menu.

If you did, try to open the HuffYUV file in your favorite player to be sure the video is not corrupted.

Hi Reuf, thanks for your help. HuffYUV is set to libavcodec, under VFW configuration.

When I open the HuffYUV file (hfyu_1.avi) with VLC player, it plays the video. But there is no sound. Media player Classic does not open te video. I uploaded a small sample of the video, so you can check it:

I've checked your video, tried to open it with directshowsource and avisource and no error occured (avisynth 2.58 under winXP) .

The screenshot you posted earlier indicate what error happened : "could not open video stream in any supported format".
After a search on doom9 forum, only two occurences but no solution... Try to install another huffyuv codec, to update ffdshow, or to open your file with directshowsource.

Thank you for your help. After a few miscodes I reinstalled everything on my computer and now it runs!
