DSS2 script issues

[wcwman18]

DSS2 now causes my x264 to hang at only 2 seconds left of the encode. I have cleaned my plugins folder and reinstalled. Here is my current script.

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\avss.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\pack\DG\DGAVCDecode.dll")
Load_STDCall_Plugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\yadif.dll")
DSS2("tonight.ts")
ConvertToYV12()
Yadif(0,1)
Lanczos4Resize(1280,720,6,6,-6,-6)

Would this be the proper script to try FFMS2?
LoadPlugin("C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\pack\DG\DGAVCDecode.dll")
Load_STDCall_Plugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\yadif.dll")
Import("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\FFMS2.avsi")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\ffms2.dll")
A = FFAudioSource(tonight_new.ts)
V = FFVideoSource(tonight_new.ts)
AudioDub(V, A)
ConvertToYV12()
Yadif(0,1)
Lanczos4Resize(704,400,6,6,-6,-6)

If my files are full HD .TS files what might be the best script to use, this?

LoadPlugin("C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\pack\DG\DGAVCDecode.dll")
Load_STDCall_Plugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\yadif.dll")
AVCSource("tonight.dga")

Yeah, I've had issues like this with DSS2 as well. I don't use it anymore.

I'd suggest not using DGAVCDecode either, as it doesn't support common broadcast features like MBAFF, and is built on very old libavcodec. The tool's author neuron2 has withdrawn it and actively discourages others from using it....

Unfortunately, transport streams are tough to do properly. You may have good luck with ffms2, but maybe not. If you can buy DGDecNV, it's quite competent and comes highly reccomended. If not, I'd suggest remuxing them to mkv, and then using directshowsource or ffms2.

[Atak_Snajpera]

just use plain DirectShowSource()

Doesn't seem to work so must be missing something.

[wcwman18]

You'd better use ffmpeg/libav remux ts to mkv first, and then use ffms2 on that mkv.

Can you give me an example script?

[Blue_MiSfit]

No, it's PAFF that it has problems with.

My mistake! Duly noted.

[wcwman18]

Can some one give me a example script to try ffms2?

[Groucho2004]

In your previous thread where people tried to explain to you how to use FFMS2 - after 66 posts - you still could not make it work. I suggested that you acquire at least some basic knowledge about Avisynth (I posted a link, by the way) but I guess reading manuals is just uncool nowadays.

Enough rambling - my point is that you will not make it work no matter how many people explain it to you over and over again - you're flying blind.

Lastly, how does your statement "Doesn't seem to work" help track down your problem?

I open in vdub and side 1 is grey and side 2 the video looks scrambled. OK, that is not good. Can you upload the source file sd1.ts to mediafire.com and post the link here? If it is too big, open it in DGSplit and cut the first 50MBytes. Upload that.

Also, explain what you mean by "scrambled". We cannot read minds here. A screenshot will be useful.

Uploading the stream will allow us to help you very quickly.

That clip works perfectly fine with this script (also without "threads = 1"):
LoadPlugin("ffms2.dll")
FFVideoSource("test_0.ts", threads = 1)

or this:
LoadPlugin("ffms2.dll")
v = FFVideoSource("test_0.ts")
a = FFAudioSource("test_0.ts")
return AudioDub(v, a)

I used the latest Beta of FFMS2.DLL (http://code.google.com/p/ffmpegsource/downloads/detail?name=ffms2-r683.7z&can=2&q=).

If you still have trouble, you should try a MKV container as already suggested (de-multiplex with eac3to, multiplex with mkvmerge).

Obviously FFMS2 has encountered an internal error, probably related to parsing the TS stream.

As others have suggested before, you may want to extract the "raw" streams from the TS container (e.g. using tsMuxeR (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/tsMuxeR)) and then mux them into an MKV container using MKVToolnix (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/MKVtoolnix).

BTW: If you want the actual problem in FFMS2 fixed, you should provide a "minimal" sample (TS file plus script) to reproduce the problem in the FFMS2 thread...

Something seems to be wrong with that snippet. It crashed both, tsRemuxeR and TsRemux.

FFMS2 fails for me on that file with an "Short read while reading frame" error - whatever that is supposed to mean. Maybe the number of bytes read was shorter than expected/required?

Anyway, DGIndexNV/DGDecodeNV was able to properly decode 1260 frames from the file...

[UPDATE]

With DirectShowSource() using Haali Media Splitter plus CoreAVC 1.9.5 the number frames was detect MUCH higher (like 600000!), but decoding locked up at 1255. An issue with Haali?

Take a step back for now and use this exact script with your mkv file (adjust paths if necessary):
LoadPlugin("ffms2.dll")
FFVideoSource("ppv.mkv", threads = 1)

I'm rather sure that FFMS2 can handle your stream (it worked for me). Forget the audio for now and make sure you are using the correct FFMS2.DLL.
Load the script in VirtualDub and step through it.

Did you cut an MKV file with DGSplit? You cannot do that. You can do that only for stream files without global headers.

I don't understand why you keep talking about encoding when you haven't yet been able to get your frame server up and running.

Just use directshowsource, since it works for you ok and it seems like your last resort (unless you have a compatible nvidia card and decide to go the DGNVTools route)

Given your source material, your filtering, and your system, what you're getting is what you're going to get. My system is very similar to yours, and the following script:

LoadPlugin ("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\C\ffms2.Dll")
ffvideosource("C:\Newdl\test2_0\test2_0.mkv", threads = 1)

Gives me about 40 fps. When I add your filtering, my frame rate drops down close to yours. On a high-end gaming system, your script encoded at just under 150 fps. However that system's CPU alone probably cost more than your (and my) entire system.

Bottom line? Live with what you've got, or spend more money on a faster system. A Ferrari is faster than a VW Beetle.

One last thought - your source appears to be 60 fps. Do you need 60 fps? Halving the frame rate won't raise your encoding frame rate, but it will halve your encoding time - half as many frames to encode. Just a thought.

Given your source material, your filtering, and your system, what you're getting is what you're going to get. My system is very similar to yours, and the following script:

LoadPlugin ("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\C\ffms2.Dll")
ffvideosource("C:\Newdl\test2_0\test2_0.mkv", threads = 1)

I use a HD PVR 1212 I will have to see how to drop the frame rate down.

I have avs 2.5.8 Haali splitter and CCC Pack. Any settings within any of these that I should change? My PC is a AMD 6 core system.

[poisondeathray]

You're already dropping the frame rate (1/2 frames, 1/2 fps)

Yadif(0,1) means mode=0, order=1

mode=0 means single rate deinterlacing (29.97p)

mode=1 would mean bobbing (it would return 59.94p)

So I assume that is set up right then.

[poisondeathray]

Yes

But is your 15fps from AVSMeter ? Or is it encoding fps speed from x264 ?

If it's encoding speed, then what settings are you using ?

[poisondeathray]

When you originally used DSS2, what kinds of fps were you getting? (and was this in reference to encoding speed or avsmeter speed?)

What version of haali (there was an older one that had bugs and very slow fps with transport streams, but it's been "fixed" in the most recent version ) . Eitherway, you might try lav splitter instead

[wcwman18]

Encoding speed

1.11.96.14.

22fps

Where would I go in the settings to try lav splitter?

I think the previous posters were listing AVSMeter numbers, not encoding speed numbers. So your fps might be expected

In theory DSS2, and DSS should produce similar numbers, so not sure why you're getting the lower fps

To try Lav, you would uninstall haali and install Lav Splitter instead. You might have to do something else with the codec pack (I would just uninstall it anyway and install only the filters you need)

If you feed DirectShowSource() with a media file, it will build the filter chain automatically, which makes it impossible to manually select the splitter/decoder filters.

You may try to fiddle with the filter merit values... But it may be more straight forward to build the desired filter chain in GraphStudio (http://blog.monogram.sk/janos/tools/monogram-graphstudio/), save it as .GRF file and feed that file into DirectShowSource().

(Be sure that you disconnect the decoder filter from the video renderer before saving the .GRF file. DirectShowSource() will need a "free" pin to connect to)

Would I need Load_STDCall_Plugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\yadif.dll")
ConvertToYV12()
Yadif(0,1) if I am using LAVF

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Yadif is a deinterlace filter. It's not related to the source filter, no matter what source filter you use.

If your source is interlaced and you want to deinterlace it using Yadif, then (and only then) you need to load the Yadif DLL.

BTW: Your screenshot of GraphStudio doesn't show what demuxer/splitter you are using. The "Text Information" window, as shown on my screenshot, has that info!

Furthermore, you can kick out all the audio stuff and you have to disconnect the video renderer, before saving the .GRF file.

How do I kick things out and disconnect what I don't need?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Simply remove the filters you don't need. Or don't add them in the firs place ;)

It should be sufficient to insert the filter "LAV Splitter Source" from the "Graph -> Insert Filter" menu and when it asks for the input file, select your source TS file.

Then insert the "CoreAVC Video Decoder" filter (or whatever decoder you want to try) the same way.

Finally connect the "Video" output pin of the source filter with the "Input" pin of the decoder filter, as shown in my screenshot above, and save the GRF file...

(It is not required to add any audio decoder or to insert an audio or video renderer - the splitter and the video decoder filter are all you need)

When I save the .grf file do I add that like this?

DirectShowSource("feed.grf")
Lanczos4Resize(704,400,6,6,-6,-6)

How would I encode with this?

yes , save the script and add audio=false

But you probably want to deinterlace before resizing (yadif or whatever if this is the same video)


DirectShowSource("feed.grf", audio=false)
#some deinterlacer
Lanczos4Resize(704,400,6,6,-6,-6)




But it makes me think that you got 22fps with haali as the splitter (since dss2 got 22fps, and dss2 always uses haali) . So you can construct graphs and do your own testing to see which splitters & decoders give you better results

Simple x264 launcher did not want to accept the grf file.

give it the avs file that references the grf

[wcwman18]

give it the avs file that references the grf

I did that and still would not work

DirectShowSource("feed.grf")

[poisondeathray]

I did that and still would not work

DirectShowSource("feed.grf")

The avs is


DirectShowSource("feed.grf", audio=false)
Yadif(0,1)

A directshow graph cannot be used for audio & video when used like this (you need separate grf for audio & video, that's why audio=false)

[Guest]

You were told to add audio=false. Why did you ignore that?
