View Full Version : Any Alternative to avs2avi?

I'm trying to create a sequence of videos from a large number (30+) avs files in a batch file. I'm using avs2avi but it keeps throwing Application Errors during the batch run after the first couple of files.

Is there any other program that can create a video file from avs?

I also need to encode the resulting file with Windows Media Encoder so it need to be a format WME can deal with (avi, wmv, mpg).

Does anyone know of such a program?

Thanks!

AFAIK, WME can open AVS scripts.

No way!!... man, do I feel stupid! You can't believe the amount of time I've spent trying to get avs2avi to work in batch!

I haven't tried the multiple files yet, but the WME test was smooth as silk. I can't wait to have a go at the rest.

Thanks a ton, Ranguvar!

Interesting... Now I'm getting the same error (different memory address) as I was getting in the batch process with avs2avi but this time I'm only playing the avs in WMP. I'm thinking there might be something wrong with my avs's.

The avs's take two inputs and show them side by site. Here are the contents of one of the avi's:

Image1=directShowSource("D:\Klose.mpg")
w = Image1.Width
h = Image1.Height
Image2=directShowSource("D:\Klose.avi").LanczosResize(w, h).changeFPS(24)
stackHorizontal(image1,image2)
fadeio(5)

Since I barely have a clue as to what I'm doing, have I done something else stupid here?..

Can you post the screenshot of the error you're getting? Perhaps it's something we've seen before?

I think this was my mistake (isn't everything). I was using:

Image2=directShowSource("D:\Klose.avi").LanczosResize(w, h).changeFPS(24)

So, I changed it to use AVIsource:

Image2=AVISource("D:\Klose.avi").LanczosResize(w, h).changeFPS(24).ConvertToYUY2()

I'm not getting the errors now. If I get them again, I'll post it but I've gone through about 60 files now without a problem.

Thanks!
