Good source filters for 1080i MPEG2 ?

[j3ff]

Hey guys,

I've looked around a bit today looking for good ways to use 1080i MPEG2 (captured from Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0) in an avisynth script.

What I tried so far was directshowsource, DGIndex and I wanted to mess around with ffmpegsource but I read that there was some errors in frame handling.

dshowsource has a very weird frame handling as I tag in's and out's then look at them from outside my editor and the frame do not match at all :confused:

Making a d2v with DGIndex for some reason seems to make my video a little more grainy in the preview than directshowsource.


So here's my problem, I figured I would post here to request some help as most of you guys are very elite with video technologies and definitely can point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff:thanks:

What dshow MPEG-2 decoder are you using by default?

DGIndex doesn't add grain to a video.

My guess is that your dshow MPEG-2 decoder is doing some denoising.

DirectShow is not frame accurate at all :)

MEPG2Source and FFMPEGSource should not be hugely different. DGIndex / DGDecode is definitely my preferred way of processing MPEG-2 video.

Yeah, but just about any DirectShow decoder can blur the living daylights out of a frame before returning it... ;)
