.5 sec audio clip w/ no-interleave option
As Ian noted, AVFS is truncating .5s off the audio stream when the no-interleave option was set, creating an invalid AVI file. I put together a fix for this and Robert verified it resolved this issue. The fix will be in 1.0.0.5, which should be out pretty quickly.
The extra frame in the virtual AVI compared to the source file (491/490, 16.366s vs 16.333s) seems related to the DirectShowSource and ffdshow-tryout setup. Using FfmpegSource the frame count and duration are correct, verified by Robert. I have given up on reproducing this as I have been unable to get DirectShowSource and ffdshow-tryout to work on my system, a 2 yr old Vista 64 install. The "open as audio only" issues are probably limitation of the specific application. I expect most applications will have trouble with non-interleaved audio, that was my experience during the initial AVFS development. Thanks for the help Robert. |

You're welcome, I'm glad to be of service.
I think I've finally learned my lesson, and I'll stick to FFmpegSource and DGDecode for my non-AVI files from now on. Loading the clip as audio-only is likewise something I don't foresee a need for, interleaved or not, so if I need an external file as an audio source I can simply use the WAV files AVFS creates. Thank you for the fix, I'll be sure to append that DV Info Net thread with the information once 1.0.0.5 is released! |

AVFS tips/trouble, needed for readme
I know a few pople have worked out how to setup scripts so AVFS will work with specific products, such as Quicktime and Final Cut Pro. In particular, being able to import without converting to RGB.
I would like to get this info in the AVFS readme to save some users having to figure this out, or giving up trying. Please post any tips you think will help. Also, anyone who has had problems with things like explorer, shell extensions, anti-virus, content indexer, etc., causing grief by reading the virtual AVI files, get that info posted here as well so I can look into it. |

Hi Joe!
Thanks for this product. I use it together with DGIndexNV in order to import H264 / VC1 files directly into Sony Vegas Pro 8 for editing. I find that final rendering is about 25% faster than this way compared to using an intermediate codec, and obviously it's great for disk space. The only difficulty I have found is that the thumbnails in Vegas are painted very slowly - it takes about 10 seconds usually to paint the whole timeline of thumbnails. In comparison, if I use an intermediate codec it takes around 1 second. I have an NVidia 9500 GT which is reading the video using DGIndexNV. As Vegas can't import AVS scripts, I use your AVFS to create an AVI which I import. Any ideas for getting improved performance on the thumbnail creation? |

You may be able to setup your script so that you can easily disable/enable the more time consuming processing steps. Use the script with the time consuming steps disabled when doing editing, then enable full processing and reopen your project before generating final output. |

@kolak,
Avisynth does not have any internal pixel formats other than 8 bit at present. And the design here is to output uncompressed pixel data wrapped as an uncompressed virtual .AVI file. This is an open source project, sure you could add a compression interface, but why would one want to burn cpu cycles generating pixel data. then compressing it into memory, only to then decompress it again immediately to use the raw pixel data. |

I just would like to keep 10bit precision. If my source file is 10bit (eg Cineform file) I would like to have 10bit uncompressed virtual file. It gets converter to YUY2 now. This is what I expcted, it's an avisynth limitation Is there any trick to pass v210 output from eg. Cineform, ProRes? Andrew Last edited by kolak; 23rd September 2010 at 22:34. |

WARNING, Pismo File Mount Audit Package (pfmap-159-win.exe) is flagged

+------------------------------------------ | WARNING: Windows security products | contain snake-oil, a substance known to | the admin general to deteriorate the | performance, reliability, and security of | computer systems. +------------------------------------------ (joke) This looks like a heuristic (fuzzy logic) detection. Likely the anti-virus product noticed that the PFM installer loads a kernel driver. Possible the anti-virus product mistakenly thinks the PFM installer is a packed executable. I doubt PFM has specifically been classified as malware by the anti-virus product. The PFM install package and every contained executable/DLL is signed with a code signing certificate. Most security products trust signed executables until they get a sample of some malicious code that was signed with the same certificate. I am surprised if Comodo is not doing the same. Joe L. |

Yes, just suspicious, as Heur.Suspicious@116614127.
Also, as an aside, I think Comodo is supposed to be one of the biggest certificate issuers in the world.

I found a solution to this problem - index the file with FFMS2 and then mount with AVFS the AVS script that opens the ffindex file. The H264 / VC1 files fly... just like an intermediate codec. Very useful if you need to edit one in Sony Vegas, or any other video editing program.

PFM runs fine on Win7 x64. A crash is most likely a compatibility issue between the PFM kernel extension and some other kernel extension or malware installed on the system. I am not aware of any specific compatibility issues at this time, but there have been a few cases over the last few years. If you are interested in helping to diagnose the issue, contact me via the support e-mail address listed on the Pismo Technic website.
