Convert AVS script of DV to DVD

[moviefan]

Hi guys,

I need to convert DV AVI material to DVD after editing it with AviSynth. Is there a tool to do that? I have searched the forum and tried out DVD2SVCD and AVS2DVD, but none of them was able to do what I need. I have a pretty complex AVS script which cuts my source material, adds transitions and so on, so also the audio stream is edited by AviSynth. My plan is to extract the edited audio using VirtualDub to *.wav and to load the AVS script + this extracted audio stream into a program that creates a DVD from it. Can anyone help?
The problem until now is that all programs I have tested need an AVI file as input, but I want to feed it with an AVS file...

Regards

just an example:
a. encode avs with hcenc (make an avs version without audio in case of problems)
b. extract audio with virtualdub
c. mux with muxman (selecting your mpeg2 video and your extracted audio)
(all are free tools)

I haven't used hcenc before, what settings do I need for DVD compliancy (720x576 4:3 PAL)?

If you enter an average bitrate, typically around 5000, the aspect ratio, and then click the "Make DVD Compliant" on right it will take care of the rest.

When you say 'tried out AVS2DVD', do you mean AVStoDVD? What kind of problem did you face? You can edit the script as you need and then encode the avs script.

Of course, if your script output a non-compliant DVD stream, Muxman will refuse to author it...

example, progressive, quality based *.ini;
*MAXBITRATE 8000
*PROFILE best
*ASPECT 4:3
*CQ_MAXBITRATE 5.000
*PREVIEW
*MATRIX mpeg
*PROGRESSIVE

example, progressive, bitrate based *.ini;
*BITRATE 4000
*MAXBITRATE 8000
*PROFILE best
*DC_PREC 11
*PROGRESSIVE
*MATRIX mpeg
*ASPECT 4:3

p.s. yeah, actually gops can go wrong as well i guess, clicking the allready mentioned button would certainly help.

My mistake, I tried AVStoDVD. First problem I faced was not being able to load an AVS file. When I loaded the AVI file I want to edit, I tried to edit the AviSynth code, but it instantly turned red and wasn't saved.

What do you mean when you say wasn't saved? Leave it red and press START...

Okay, I'll try, when I'm at home. By saying "wasn't saved" I mean that when I pressed OK and then again returned to the AviSynth editing window, it had been reset to default, so my script wasn't there anymore...

You are referring to beta release 2.0.0, aren't you? You are right, bugfixing is ongoing.

Please, do use stable 1.2.3

;)

Okay, thanks. I thought, why not use the beta with many fancy features and guessed there wouldn't be any "severe" bug ;)
