Hi there,

we need to StackHorizontally some .IFF Sequences.
Thankfully, Avery (phaeron) has added Maya .IFF Support to VirtualDub by now.
Unfortunately, that seems impossible with the VDub-Filters i know of. (I.e. FilterBlender can't blend additively yet.)

http://avisynth.org/oldwiki/index.php?page=IPCSource+Deutsch says:
IPCSource öffnet einen Kommunikationskanal zu einem AviSynth kompatiblen FrameServer, der auf dem Rechner läuft. IPC steht für "inter-process communication". Der einzige kompatible Frameserver ist momentan das Premiere Export Plugin. Vielleicht ist !Avisynth's Frameserver bald kompatibel zu VirtualDub's Frameserver, aber im Moment ist dem nicht so. Aber man kann VDR Dateien mit AviSource öffnen.

Where's the Development thread of that Frameserver issue?
I set up a frameserver of th IFF.sequence in VDub as .vdr (and tried as .avi), but opening the .vdr with AviSource results in an "AviFileSource: Couldn't open file" Error :(

Therefore i humbly ask you to show me a way of importing the .IFF sequence into Avisynth so that i don't have to convert the whole Stuff once more, before it gets Encoded.

PS.: Unfortunately, Maya hardware renders corrupt or false .png files.
PPS.: And Unfortunately, AlphaChannels are not properly supported in VirtualDub. Avery needs some more voices for better priority ranking of the RGBA-issue!!

Did you install the virtualdub frameserver? Run auxsetup.exe, install the handler and try and open the .vdr file with avisource again.

The Frameserver seemed up and running. There is this window telling about 0 clients and a "stop serving"-button,
so i didn't expect the 0 Clients meaning that i can't Import at all.

thanks for your engagement, man. i'm really happy about your reply!

The auxsetup stuff to make VDub frame serving available to the clients. You must install it. VDub will quite happily serve to nobody as appears to be your case.

As each client successfully connects the "0" will increment.
