DirectShowSource error when encoding 1080i HDTV

[Penecho]

I get an avisynth error when i try to encode my recordings from HDTV (they are in *.ts format). MeGui tells my there are some filters missing. When i try to open my *.avs with vdub it tells me avisynth error at line 1, which is:

DirectShowSource("X:\Temp\file.ts", fps=25.000, audio=false)

Everything should be installed correctly, since xvid encoding with gknot works flawlessly.

Encoding x264 movies from blurays also works perfectly. But for some reason encoding TV recordings wont work :(

haali media splitter and ffdshow installed?

MPEG-TS is frequently a pain in the ass for open-source encoding workflows. You might need to remux these files into something a bit more friendly like MKV. ffmpeg should be able to do this:


ffmpeg -i input.ts -vcodec copy -acodec copy output.mkv

haali media splitter and ffdshow installed?

Yes, both installed.

It always worked fine under win7, but now that im running win8, for some reason it wont work...

[Atak_Snajpera]

the same problem in ripbot264?

[Penecho]

Yes, even have the problem when doing the avs by hand...

@Penecho,

It would really help if you told us the exact text of the Avisynth error on line 1 that was reported.

When i try and open the file in MeGui and chose DiretShowSource it tells me:

Unable to render the file, You probably dont have the right filters installed

When i take an *.avs file from befroe i installed Win8, vdub tells me:

Avisynth open failure: DirectShowSource could not open file myfile.ts, The source filter for that file could not be loaded

When using the Fileindexer and then use:


LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI_2153_x86\tools\dgavcindex\DGAVCDecode.dll")
AVCSource("X:\file.dga")


it works, but encoding is only half as fast than with DirectShowSource...

Edit: Nope does not work with AVCSource, just ends without any message after ~3%

Direct Show took a pretty big kick to the head with Windows 7. In Windows 8 I suspect Micro$loth are now beating it with very heavy clubs and kicking it in the ribs.

For Windows 7 the white knights of this forum provided first aide and restored Direct Show to a useful state of health, I guess you should start with investigating the Win7 remediation techniques and see if they can resuscitate Direct Show under Win8.

Micro$oft are now focused on Media Foundation which allows even better DRM control over what they will let us watch.

For your immediate problem I think it may be FFMpegSource to the rescue.

Hmm it stops after couple of seconds when using ffmpeg2source:


LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI_2153_x86\tools\avisynth_plugin\ffms2.dll")
FFVideoSource("X:\Temp\file.ts")

Just stops working there after 0,3%

Maybe your source stream is corrupted.

[Penecho]

Well i tried 5 different ones, not one did work...

I did exactly what i did back under win7, same program to record (DVBViewer Pro) same program to cut (VideoRedo)...

And i also tried one that i still had that was working under win7


Edit: Just reinstalled avisynth 2.5.8 + haali splitter as admin, now it seems to work
