AVISynth Frameserving

[Blight]

Any programmers browsing this forum and think they can improve on the frame serving code in AVISynth?

It seems as if the code is rather crippled and doesn't work with certain encodes (CCE). And I think a lot of people would appriciate a fix for that.

Starting with 1.05 I never even got Avisynth to compile. It looked like I needed the QuickTime SDK and I never got around to installing it.

I managed to get 1.05 to compile with the folowing changes.

You'll need the directx (im using 8.0a) SDK installed and the directshow base class libraries built.

For a release build: in the project settings under the link tab, change amstrmid.lib to STRMBASE.lib , for a debug build change it to strmbasd.lib, once done do a test build and you'll get some error messages about one of the header files not being found, I dont remember exactly which file it was but the problem was an absolute path to the header rather than #include "header.h" it was something like #include "c:\inc\header.h"

once thats done it should build clean, and run / frameserve without any probs.

Mad :)

Hey, thanks. Maybe I'll try it again. Will I still need the QuickTime SDK?

No, you wont need the Quicktime SDK, but I can understand why you would think so, I remember some of the errors during linking that I originally saw, and thought I would have to get the QT SDK.

Heh, so does that mean someone would work on getting AVISynth serving both Audio and Video to CCE v2.6x?
