Idea: Add A How To Section To The Wiki

[mikeytown2]

I know most of this is already on the forms but, after I saw this blog, it got me thinking again that we can do something like this for AviSynth. http://makefx.wordpress.com/. tacman1123 and I thought about starting a "Avisynth Cookbook". Here's a short list of examples that would be good to do

Resizing Progressive Content - Intro To Aspect Ratios
Resizing Interlaced Content (Example: DV to HDV)
Interlaced -> Progressive with Bob()
Simple IVTC (http://www.doom9.org/ivtc-tut.htm) - Getting 24fps back with a hard telecine. Force Film and others as well.
How to use the function Histogram() when color grading
Slideshows
How to use AVFS (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=133313)


At the end of our examples, we would use MeGUI and export the video to h.264 for flash playback. How do we embed a video on the wiki? What are other simple examples to do? This would be an example page, not something that encompasses all possibilities.

Edit: List of Extensions for the wiki

Sounds great!

How do we embed a video on the wiki?
I don't no. I have to check whether this is possible.

maybe this could help:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FLVPlayer

For rendering flv files DSG uses ffmpeg, but the resulting files needed(I don't know if that's fixed now) flvtool2.exe to inject some data in that file to make it playable in the flvplayer.

This is how the flv videos on the DSG page are made. :)

[EDIT: Actually DVD slideshow GUI could be used for rendering out examples to flv. It just need 2 slides to be able to export. The first could be a jpg with the name of the effext and the next could be the .avs script(which can be imported as 'slides')]

Just wondering, what would be holding us back from implementing a how-to section with embedded video?
I'm thinking something similar to http://meetthegimp.org/
