Displaying Frame Quantizer and Size

[TheVillageIdiot]

Is there a function I could use to have the frame quantizer/size info be displayed in avsp (source is avc)

Something like this (https://whatimg.com/i/ObU54a.png). Mirror (http://i1.someimage.com/qOxKx3b.png)

Thanks.

Works for me. Just in case here's an alternate link (https://web.archive.org/web/20150911004208/https://whatimg.com/i/ObU54a.png).

Whatimg home page has this:

Welcome to WhatIMG

WhatIMG is an invite only image hosting service that acts as a more reliable alternative to things like Imgur, Photobucket or Imageshack. Registration is currently not open and the only way to get a registration code would be from another WhatIMG member.

I'm not a member, maybe that's why.
Or maybe country restriction? (Canada here)

Site also loads incredibly slow for me. 1.5 seconds to load simple page with text.

Hmm, that's odd, I'm not a member either. As you said, it could be some restriction...

Try ffdshow tryouts. On-screen and/or log to file. See here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1693552#post1693552), item #2.

Only in FFDShow, I don't think there's anything in *avisynth* that can be replicated for AvsPmod.
Closest, maybe, is to make a request for FFMS2 to copy what FFDShow has for OSD.

A couple of other alternatives...

ffprobe.exe == almost everything except quant:

ffplay.exe -debug == average quant per frame, but frames out of order

I was working on a script (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1693064#post1693064) to format the merged output of the two into a nice spreadsheet, but lost interest when I saw how well ffdshow was working.

Would be nice to have a port of that info for AvsPMod use.

Pausing in anything that uses FFDShow is not fun. Nor accurate. MPC-HC has two options. But it's never really "frame accurate" like indexing with DGdecNV or FFMS2.

A nice "placebo" port of information/statistics would be fun for something like AvsPmod (or whatever kids are using these days).

Ok, I tried configuring ffdshow as mentioned here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1693552#post1693552) and calling it through ffdshow("default") in AvsP but it does not seem to be working.

Did I miss something very obvious? Forgive the noobness :o

VirtualDub allows use of DSF like FFDshow, but AvsPMod does not.

For AvsPmod use, you would need FFDShow to have an Avisynth plugin. Which, I don't there is.
Just a plugin for VirtualDub use. Then you can load as-is and save screenshots (having played around with output settings).

Maybe if you play a lot with DirectShowSource (remove LAV or others and make FFDShow primary with OSD enabeld or FFDShow-processing with OSD enabled ?? )

If you have LAV Filters decode the video first, you get nothing out of OSD for FFDShow as FFDShow is only secondary to LAV Video.
You need to cut the middle-man out.

Codec Tweak Tool (http://www.videohelp.com/software/Codec-Tweak-Tool) will help with that.

Thanks for the help guys. I managed to get it to work in mpc (http://i1.someimage.com/Fqwno0q.png).

Just wish this was doable in AvsP :/

Just wish this was doable in AvsP :/Should be doable. Gotta run; I will look at it later.

Now I can't get ffdshow to show frame quant within VirtualDub, so I don't think I can do an Avisynth script wrapper for you. I tried it with several VirtualDub versions, and to eliminate Win8 issues, with a WinXP virtual machine too. Same thing. I don't know.

MPC-HC (1.7.8, 32-bit) + ffdshow tryouts (rev4532) still works, for the moment...

[TheVillageIdiot]

No worries, thanks for the effort :)
