avisynth website/wiki suggestions

[stormy1777]

Was surprised to rediscover the old page:

http://virtualdub.org/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=42

that says avisynth cannot run on vdub64.. eventually gave up, and kept running vdub in 32 bit, so all is fine, however noticed on the "version" page:

http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Version

there are two places where a ")" closing bracket is missing, so the examples do not actually work as-is :) :)
one example:

Version(BlankClip(width=600, height=336, pixel_type="YV24")

should be: Version(BlankClip(width=600, height=336, pixel_type="YV24"))

Tried to create a user to make that minor typo/edit, but no way to pass the, even human-proof CAPTCHA :)

at: http://avisynth.nl/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&type=signup

it asks what is CSS, tried "Cascading Style Sheet" ??

or what is CODEC, tried various values (encoder decoder, etc.), no luck, or what is AVI?? again, tried various values, no go.

the help page: http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Special:Captcha/help

gives no clue on the answers it is expecting :) or who to contact in case of no luck :)

keep getting:

Login error
Incorrect or missing confirmation code

That is an extremely old page, written before there was a 64-bit version of Avisynth (or at least, before it was stable and commonly used). It's confusing, because development of various forks has passed through various hands, but it's recommended to use Avisynth+:

https://github.com/pinterf/AviSynthPlus/releases

which comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit.

VirtualDub hasn't been updated in nearly 6 years; you should try VirtualDub2:

@stormy,


"What does AVI stand for?" => "audio video interleaved",
"What does CODEC stand for?" => "coder decoder",
"What does CSS stand for?" => "content scrambling system",
"What does DCT stand for?" => "discrete cosine transform",

CSS could mean something else indeed. I didn't realize this when adding the captcha. and AVI means audio video interleave (without a 'd' at the end). I should correct this one day.

Thanks, yes, definitely using vdub2, although look at the older pages for refresher every once and then. Ok, managed to overcome the human-proof captcha!! only to see that closing brackets were added :) :) :) so one more user created, horray!! oh, was not aware 64bit is working, will give that a try soon. Thanks for the support!
