Vfapi continued

[Die*wrek*show]

I didn't realize in one of the previous threads that I had posted in, I was off topic so I will ask here.

If you do not convert the file in question to .avi using the converter, is the vfapi plugin(inside dvd2avi)even called? like a simple vob>dvd2avi>tmpgenc where you open the .d2v in tmpgenc directly

Also, when vfapi converts something to .avi, how much of the headers, lists, and chunks does it write to the created .avi file?

The reason I am curious about these things, is because it seems like dvd2avi and vfapi(and also avisynth to a certain extent) are doing the same thing(frameserving through indexing without re-encoding).

Also, when vfapi converts something to .avi, how much of the headers, lists, and chunks does it write to the created .avi file. The source code for the VFAPI converter is not available so you would have to try to determine that by analysing the AVI file. I don't know of anyone having done that but it would be interesting. It would be nice if someone took it the whole way and reverse engineered the converter so we could have an open source version. My guess is that the AVI and reader codec are very minimal and just arrange for frame requests to be passed on to the VFAPI plugin.
