Picture-in-Picture with H264 (MTS/TS/M2TS) video using VirtualDubMod... Possible?

[TaaDow]

Hey everyone.

I have searched quite a bit and still haven't found a guide on how to do PiP using AviSynth and VirtualDub. I use the VirtualDubMod that was edited by Jake Ludington (http://www.topdrawerdownloads.com/download/104913) that allows import of H264 files of any type/extension and it works great. The only thing I can't figure out how to do is PiP.

Just in case anyone is wondering, I'm using videos from my Sony HDR-SR12 camcorder.

If anyone has any information on how or if this can be achieved I would be VERY grateful! I have looked and looked (on the web and here in this forum) but can't find what I need to know. I'm not very good with AviSynth scripts because I've never really edited one.

Thanks all!

Edited: deleted a bunch of stuff.

Use overlay(bigclip, smallclip, x=x_offset,y=y_offset)

Thanks for the reply David.

For bigclip, smallclip do I just put the path to each one?

overlay(c:\mainvideo.mts, c:\pipvideo.mts, x=x_offset,y=y_offset)

What about resizing the small video within that line? How would I do that?

Thanks!

Using overlay was a slightly obscure one... importing clips and resizing are the kind of stuff you should turn to the AviSynth documentation for.

Nope, you neeed to pass clips, not strings! So first you need to load the clips. Then you can add the overlay.

Please try like this:

bigclip = FFVideoSource("c:\mainvideo.mts")
smallclip = FFVideoSource("c:\pipvideo.mts")
return bigclip.overlay(smallclip, x=42, y=42)

What about resizing the small video within that line? How would I do that?

Change the line (from example above) like this:

smallclip = FFVideoSource("c:\pipvideo.mts").Spline36Resize(320,240)
