View Full Version : FFInfo() alternative?

I wonder, how can I show FrameType (frame type) for a frame in AVSP, like I can do with FFMS2's FFInfo()?
I'd rather want to use L-Smash for H.264-decoding (because FFMS2 need to be set to thread=1 and seekmode=0 to work decently, which makes it slower), so there's no FFInfo() available.

I could use FFMS2's FFInfo() after, just to make the screenshot, but indexing takes time, so if there is a better way I'd like to know that.

:thanks: in advance.

EDIT: Thanks for the answer poisondeathray & StainlessS.

Think FFMS2 family are only source filters that expose the frame type, so, there will be no alternative.
(Unless someone else knows better).

Other alternatives:
1) directshowsource /dss2/ dss2mod , with decoding set to use ffdshow and osd enabled. But directshow has many potential issues.

2) DGSource() (DGDecodeNV) has an show=true switch that will overlay similar information, but requires a compatible NVidia card and license

Thanks again, you two.
This isn't on a question for AviSynth, but: Isn't there a media-player (like MPC-HC) that can show this info for screenshot?
I've not seen if MPC-HC + madVR got this ability yet.

If you set MPC-HC to use ffdshow as the decoder and enable the OSD it can display the info (an you can take a screenshot)

Or play an avs script showing the info through MPCHC
