I have successfully used DVD RB Pro for quite a while now. However, ther is one setting bothering me that I can not seem to figure out.

When I go to the "Option" Tab & select my choices, the "Filter" function always shows "Not Activated." If I double click on it anyway, it displays a window explaining that the filters displayed will be applied to all VTS even though there are no filters listed. If I open the Avysynth folder installed by RB, in the plugin folder I believe, I can see the 2 filters JDobbs said are included. My question is, how do I apply these filters if I choose to use them in an encode, when that option always shows "Not Activated?"

Thanks in advance to any kind users who choose to help me.:thanks:

you have to type them in that box. think of it as an "active filter" box

and you have to now what you are doing

for example, if you want to use the filtter deen, in the box you would type

deen()

it would then add that line into the .avs files

open the filter editor by dbl-clicking on it. in the textbox, type whatever you like, for instance:

undot().deen()

then, click the "Save & Exit" button. In the treeview, you should now see, "Filter Editor (Active)".

to de-activate: re-open the filter editor, clear the text, save&exit again.

Those are just a couple of third party add-on filters that are widely popular. The abilities of filtering is a very large subject.

Here (http://www.avisynth.org/FiltersByCategory) are some examples of filters that are available internally within AVISYNTH. Here (http://www.avisynth.org/Section+3%3A+Filters%2C+plugins+and+colorspaces#q3.5) are a grouping of external filters (plug-ins) that can be downloaded and added.

Just be careful not to use any filter that would change the original framecount or will make the video violate DVD standards (like resizing, for instance).

I am and always will be in awe of AVISYNTH. It is very probably the most sophisticated and powerful video editing tool available anywhere.

AAAAh! Now it becomes clear. I was expecting to access that box and select any filters that JDobbs had made available in the plugins. Come to think of it, that sounds like a pretty nice suggestion for a future modification.

Neverthe less, thanks for all the help, it's truely a great program.

think of it more as custom scripting than just a click on click off filter.

even deen has 4 settings that can be set
