avs 2 dvd in the highest possible quality

[pancserzso]

I would like to encode my project into a dvd. I have a avs file to use. I tried many tools, but with no success.

AVI2DVD:
- I have to use VFAPI :-(
- quits because of no audio on the file (my project has no audio)

The Film Machine:
- same for VFAPI
- same for audio

FAVC:
- works with avs :-)
- no support for CCE
- extremely unstable, I tried on 3 PC's, but it quitted at different times.

Can you suggest me, which tool shell I use? I do not want to learn which is the best matrix and 100 hundreds of settings, I really liked the way how TFM worked, I just cant let them work with avs source with no audio.

I'm sad to hear that about FAVC. Have you tried the most recent version?
What sort of problems were there?
If you have an avs file you could do it yourself by using HC or QuEnc to create an m2v file and then authoring with Muxman.

On my computer, it quitted just when I started it.
On an other computer it started encoding and quitted in the middle, with sementation fault, I think.

UPDATE:
I can start it on my computer by copying it to C:\FAVC

[Mr_Odwin]

There is a configuration file that saves settings - v0.70 and v0.80 have incompatible config files. That may be why you are seeing that behaviour on your system.

[pancserzso]

OK, now FAVC has the same "audio not found" problem. Do you know a solution for how to add a blank audio channel to an avs file?

Mr_Odwin, can you bypass that audio test for avs files? Actually why is it needed?

[pancserzso]

There is a configuration file that saves settings - v0.70 and v0.80 have incompatible config files. That may be why you are seeing that behaviour on your system.

I never had 0.70 I just downloaded 0.80 an hour ago.

[Mr_Odwin]

Can you post your avs script please?

[pancserzso]

Its' just an image sequence:
ImageSource("vitorla%03d.jpg", 0241, 0347, 25)
Crop(0,0,400,300)
Actually the problem is with FAVCStereo.avsi

If I add ConverttoYUY2 it says not compatible avisynth version - which I don't understand since CCE needs this (I'm not familiar with Quenc), and I have the needed 2.5.6a

[Mr_Odwin]

I've looked into this more and can reproduce the problem. The avs file created by FAVC appears to be fine and HC is able to encode an m2v file quite happily. QuEnc, for some reason, doesn't like it at all.

If you use the Title0.avs file generated in a working folder you'll see that it opens fine in Virtualdub. This file has audio (blank audio) and you could use this as a start point.
However, Muxman does not require audio to create a dvd so maybe going down the HC route and then Muxman is your best option.

[pancserzso]

No, for me the avs file doesn't work at all! It says it needs an audio stream (FAVCStereo.avsi line 39).

[pancserzso]

And for me, QeEnc works, if I comment the line #FAVCStereo before.

[pancserzso]

Finally, I found out:
I have to add:
AudioDub(BlankClip())
To the source file.

This way it works with one-click!
I think you should really modify FAVCStereo.avsi to include that line, if there is no audio originally.

[Mr_Odwin]

Essentially it is in there. That's why when using FAVC an ac3/mp2 file is produced. It is QuEnc that balks.

The first four lines of the avsi read:


Function FAVCStereo(clip Video, clip Audio) {

Dubbed = Video

Chan0 = (HasAudio(Audio)==False) ? AudioDub(Video, BlankClip(Video, audio_rate=48000, stereo=true)) : nop()
Dubbed = (HasAudio(Audio)==False) ? Chan0 : Dubbed

... etc, etc.


That's why this behaviour shouldn't occur.

[Mr_Odwin]

I think if you upgrade to the latest version of AviSynth you'll find that this problem is resolved.
