Open quicktime movies?

[kagoru]

Is there any way to have an quicktime file as source, so that I can convert it to divx?

DirectShowSource! See the reference docs at Videotools (http://www.videotools.net)

unfortunately it doesn't work! Avisynth says that it can't open the file!

Another suggestion?

Get this VFAPIPlugin http://doom9.org/Soft21/Encoders/MPEG4/QTReader.zip then use LoadVFAPIPlugin in Avisynth. For LoadVFAPIPlugin syntax, do a search in the forum.

Hope this help.

Damn! It DOES WORK very well !!! Thank you sooooo much! It saves me so much time having avisynth read my .mov-files: before that I always exported them as uncompressed avi and then converted them to divx. Now I can work on them directly!

When I use LoadVFAPIPlugin do I need to use ConvertToYUY2() necessarily, or is the avisynth file by default YUY2-format?

Thanks again for your help!

Oops! I have a problem with fps. I get 600 (!) fps when I use the script:

LoadVFAPIPlugin("d:\divx\vdub\plugins\QTReader.vfp", "QTReader")
QTReader("g:\movies\Trailer.mov")
ConvertToYUY2()
FlipVertical()

How do I get the same fps as the org. .mov-file?

[kagoru]

Never mind. I found the answer myself: I just use SelectEvery(25,1) and get 24 fps!

VFAPI's data is in RGB I believe.

you could use the qtplugin from inside tmpg.
