Avisynth with ConvertXtoDVD 3.xx

[steptoe]

Can anybody help with exactly what will and won't work when loading avisynth scripts into VSO convertXtoDVD v3.xx

Does anything work, like external filter functions such as MCSpuds, Delogo, etc, etc, or is it purely internal filters

I tried asking on the convertx forums, they replied but said yes just load the script directly and asking for more support like asking just where in the process the script features and how complete the support is for avisynths scripts they didn't bother to reply


If you load the script into convertxtodvd it doesn't even list it as anything that looks like a script, even if you put the path to the video source you are trying to work on and run it it stops after a couple of second sayings its finished

Has anybody managed to get scripts to work with convertxtodvd as I want to give it a go so I can use avisynth for the processing and convertxtodvd for the converting to DVD

Any example scripts that did work would be a start then I can work from there and hopefully help somebody else as they don't really seem to want to be bothered

If AviSynth works with ConvertXtoDVD, every one of its filters (should) work.

But AFAIK, AviSynth does not work with it... and why would you want it to? Compared to CCE and HCenc, ConvertXtoDVD's encoding engine is dismal. Check out CCE and HCenc, and front-ends for them.

What is a good bit of software then that accepts an AVI or MKV input, uses HC encoder or CCE and has the ability to add avisynth scripts


Don't care if it does dvd authoring, I'm looking for the best conversion from AVI/MKV to DVD, yes I know that means using the source before it was converted to an AVI/MKV but thats not always possible if you have no longer got it


Commericial or freeware, just whats the better conversion

Yeah, ConvertXtoDVD is nice if you just want to do something really quick

It can open just about anything (including H.264 + AAC encoded MKVs), and is fast, with overall poor quality :)

Check out the MPEG-2 forum here.

AVStoDVD is pretty good, or so I'm told. Personally, I encode the video with CCE, the audio with Aften, and then author the DVD with TMPGEnc DVD Author.

I recently found out TDA3 is capable of working from script, in my case I used this for addition of motion background to menu (probably the same would work for other objects like animated thunbnails etc.). Also tested for addition of main DVD content - it works (along with numerous video file types). Rather good internal encoder, multi-thread support (no multi-pass).
