Frameserving and DGIndex.

[AssassiNBG]

So I created a project file using DGIndex and then converted it with vfapi reader codec, in order to load it into virtualdub and frameserver it to TMPGEnc so I could use the good IVTCing function, and later on I'll need to use it again for the Simple Color Correction. But I have a problem - when I save the .vdr file and try to open it with TMPGEnc it says unknown or not supported file ?!

So is it possible to use TMPGEnc's goodness with the project file DGIndex creates ? If not what alternative could I try ?

UPDATE:
OK I with a bit of searching I found out about DGVfapi, which is supposed to make the DGIndex/DGMPGDec project files (d2v) compatible for conversion using VFapi Reader Codec, but after doing everything as described in the read me, TMPGEnc still says "File "X:\..." can not open or unsupported"

UPDATE 2:
And so after a bit more searching I found out how to load the m2v files directly without having to convert them with VFapi Reader Codec. You need this plugin:

Also I read that it only works with TMPGEnc versions below 3 or sth like that. You have to see for yourself. I have the 2.524.63.181 Free version and it works perfectly !

You don't need VFAPI or anything obscure to use DGIndex projects. Just make a simple Avisynth script as described in the Quick Start guide and open that script in TMPGEnc.

Which start guide has that information ?

The Quick Start guide that comes with DGMPGDec.

All of that isn't really necessary. Converting colorspaces like that isn't a good idea. Alternatively, you can use avisynth in conjunction with TPRIvtc (http://avisynth.org/warpenterprises/files/tprivtc_25_dll_20040930.zip) to do your ivtc with tmpgenc. What you'd do, is your ivtc with tmpgenc, save the project as a .tpr file and load it followed after Doubleweave to get it to function. :)
