avs problem

[centaur]

When I load my .avs in virtualdub, the video is OK but I have no sound.

The .avs file is as follows:

DirectShowSource("d:\cosmos.00.avi")+DirectShowSource("d:\cosmos.01.avi")+...DirectShowSource("d:\cosmos.06.avi")

The individual avi segments play with sound in windows media player.

Avisynth doesn't support direct sound out of a video. You have to extract the audio into a wav file and use the WavSource("PATH")command to add the sound to the avs.

Are you sure about this? The Avisynth site does not mention this limitation.

I think you're talking about the old reference guide. The guide on videotools.net goes into more detail about newer functions, although the old site also mentions this limitation on the beta page.

On videotools.net I found a reference to AVISource. Would this allow frameserving video+audio?

If so would it be sufficient for me to replace DirectShowSource in the avs script with AVISource?

That will only work if your AVI file has uncompressed audio.

You could simplify your script by using SegmentedAVISource instead of AVISource:

SegmentedAVISource("cosmos.avi")

That should load up all your files. As long as your AVS is in the same folder as the AVI, you don't need paths either.

I followed your suggestion and used SegmentedAVISource and everything is working fine now.

Thanks very much for your help.
