I made a mt 2.5.8 avisynth.dll and mt.dll

[cweb]

I don't think it's mandatory to have it in system32, it just has to be somewhere that Windows will look for it, like one of the directories specified in the PATH environment variable or in the player application's current directory, wherever that is...

I could be wrong, though - I always install AviSynth in the default location, i.e. system32.
My AviSynth is installed to another location yet it places its main dll in system32...

actually, you can't regsvr32 avisynth.dll
I thought you were assuming in ffdshow that it was in /system32/ because its location is not indicated anywhere(.ini/registry)...I'd love to put it on my ramdisk to make my movies open faster in ffdshow, but that's a no go :o

It's loaded just like any other DLL, and system32 is one of the default locations that Windows looks in for DLLs. Like I said, adding a folder on your ramdisk to the PATH environment variable should do the trick.

And you can't regsvr32 it because the DLL isn't meant to be registered - it's installed as a VfW codec simply by adding a registry entry.

@cweb: You need to select "Standalone, unpack files only" as the install type to get it to copy AviSynth.dll into your installation folder.

well I never had any problems with it placing avisynth.dll in system32.. thanks for the info anyway.

wow cool, you were right! I thought all the .DLL's had to be registered :rolleyes:

Say what? (http://ffdshow-tryout.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ffdshow-tryout?view=rev&revision=2642)

Yup, noticed it tho.
But strangely it doesn't work anymore (nor does yadif x2 framerate setting).
Got to run framedbl.dll / yadif.dll from avisynth tab in order to achieve time real doubling framerate.

Former ffds versions (ie until 08/11) are still acting normally.
Maybe I'm missing a point :sly:.

Well, I never used the framerate doubler, but I can assure you that YADIF's "Double framerate" option very much works here.

Have you checked "Process frames flagged as progressive"? Because that's what you definitely want for bobbing...

np: Telefon Tel Aviv - What's The Use Of Feet If You Haven't Got Legs (Fahrenheit Fair Enough)

[totozero]

Kudos to you.
It works now, there was no need to check this stuff with previous versions.
But it makes sense:thanks:.

I tried it with "Process frames flagged as..." option and it seems to work. In MPC-HC, displaying stats does indeed show the framerate is doubling, but ffdshow and avisynth say otherwises. If playing a progressive file, would using yadif to double the framerate degrade the image quality any?

Also, maybe some devs could chime in on this question. Is it normal/safe for the build log on a project to contain warnings?

[Leak]

If playing a progressive file, would using yadif to double the framerate degrade the image quality any?
I'd assume so, yes - don't deinterlace if there is no need to deinterlace, as any reconstruction of the "missing lines" of both fields can only be inferior to the progressive image that's already there.

That, and since there's no extra temporal information in progressive video you'll get exact duplicates of each frame in the best case...

Also, maybe some devs could chime in on this question. Is it normal/safe for the build log on a project to contain warnings?
If you're talking about building ffdshow - yes, that's quite normal... sure, you could fix most of those by making the code a bit more verbose, but as long as it's not strictly neccessary probably nobody is going to do it...

[lych_necross]

Is there any chance that avisynth's wiki entry about MT will be updated to reflect this update?

[Zelos]

Hi,

working here on core i7-920 , 5 fps better than 2.5.7 :)
Still bugs on tweak.dll filter, seems it doesn't like mt ...

thanks for the work.

[leeperry]

I've got a 362*272 AVI file that crashes instantly...works fine if I disable the Avisynth filter in ffdshow :)

I guess it doesn't like pure mod2 files, when only x is mod2 it works a lot better

[lych_necross]

Maybe it is a problem with ffdshow's avisynth wrapper and not the actual avisynth files. Does it work with an official build of avisynth through ffdshow?

[leeperry]

it also crashes w/ 2.57 MT, probably having the height mod2 is not a good option...even if I resize it to 1024*768 keeping the AR, it resizes to 1024*766 and still crashes...I have to enforce 1.3333333 AR then it's fine.

[lych_necross]

I'd bet money that the mod2 height issue is related to poor floating point to integer and integer to floating point conversions. The truncation of necessary values can cause unexpected and sometimes bad results. Some of those warnings will have to be reviewed.

I've made some changes to sources in the first post: now it should crash less and be a bit faster:
DLL (http://www.mediafire.com/?hc3fcibfyck)
Source (http://www.mediafire.com/?nzixxzywx0x)

I updated the first post with the changes made by SEt.
The src he made was not able to be used by visual studio 2008 professional, so I fixed that and made the dll in the process.

Can't say it's faster than the previous one though, but it seems to make the frame interpolator code I tweaked look better. :D

[SEt]

I've only changed version number in files so they can be used with VS2005 enviroment, so just change it back if you want to use VS2008. Actually used compiler was from VS2008.
Also note that my build is statically linked and doesn't require any msvc*.dll

You should see noticeable speedup after some seeking events while playing .avs script, though there is much to improve there.

[=A=RGOS]

Hello,

It's work fine for me too (for Jeremy Duncan release).

An idea, Jeremy Duncan or SEt, do you have in your plan to create a centralized source code and version on sourceforge or google. ;)

Bye and many thank at all for this release ! :p

[BigDid]

I've only changed version number in files so they can be used with VS2005 enviroment, so just change it back if you want to use VS2008...

So this is it "VS 2008" needed and for your release, 2005 only.

I am fortunate to have had 2005 installed for another app :o

If not I would have continued to search /swap and wonder why it was not working on my new partition and windows install :angry:

Jeremy,

With this version of avisynth, do I still need to load the MT.dll? Or is it no longer required?

[buzzqw]

afaik mt.dll isn't to load BUT to put in your system32 folder

BHH

[Gavino]

afaik mt.dll isn't to load BUT to put in your system32 folder
No, it is the modified avisynth.dll that goes in your system32 folder.

mt.dll only needs to be loaded if using the MT (or MTi) function - if just using SetMTMode, it is not needed at all. As with any plugin, loading can be done explicitly via LoadPlugin, or implicitly by installing it in your plugins folder.
