Command Line Compressor - AVS2AVI

[Mentalmummy]

In Xvid is the B Frames setting the one labelled B-Vop?

I shall also try an early version. Thanks :)

I turned off B frames but then it carshes at the end saying "The instruction at 0x00c58bfc referenced memory at 0x00b137d0. The memory could not be read.

Any ideas what this means? It sounds like maybe either xvid encoder or avs2avi might have a bug?

I have sorted the issue now, thanks mainly to your suggestions :)

I downloaded Koepis latest Xvid binaries of the aplha xvid codec and it worked perfect - and super fast!

Thanks for the all the help, and to the programmers of avs2avi and Xvid. And of course Koepi :D

I have tested new avs2avi compatible with x264 in some full XviD encodes. None problem here :)

i want to use 2 passes for xvid using avs2avi how do i do that thx

[foxyshadis]

Don't bother, use xvid_encraw now. Save avs2avi for vfw codecs without a commandline.

Is there a way to use AVS2AVI with FFDShow's VFW encoder? I tried to use -c ffvh and what I got back was Error: There is no codec with FourCC "ffv1"!. And I did have FFDShow configured on FFVH.

Thanks.

Have you tried using the codec selection dialog instead of specifying the codec on the command line?
Have you tried to see if ffv1 actually works?

Argh. Was meant to be all FFV1 or FFVH in the previous post, sorry.

Anyway, I can get both to work through VDub without any problems. What do you mean by codec selection dialogue? If you mean the FFDShow one, then yes. If you mean a GUI, like AVS2AVIDrop then strangely enough that one works fine. But I could really use the command line, so I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong there.

"C:\Program Files\avs2avi\avs2avi.exe" "blah_%number%_pre.avs" "blah_%number%_pre.avi" -c ffvh -q -p 0

[foxyshadis]

The actual fourcc to call ffdshow is 'FFDS'. You can change that if you want by renaming the VIDC.FFDS entry in the registry.

[martino]

OK thanks. That seems to have gotten me one step further, but now instead AVS2AVI crashes on me. 1.35 gives me a Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library error window, while 1.39 just the usual Windows XP error window. *sighs*

Any ideas?

I downloaded avs2avi 1.39 and rebuilt it (after fixing some headers etc) with VS2008. You can find that here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/2041mw

Though of course anyone using xvid should be using xvid_encraw I guess.

[tin3tin]

Thanks for the rebuild.

Now you have your fingers in the code, can't you see any reason for the codec-combo box doesn't expand?

Which codec-combo box? Can you clarify what you are referring to?

[tin3tin]

It's in the UI part:

There's no GUI In the AVS2AVI I downloaded and built.
AFAIK the GUI's were seperate programs.

This dialog seems to be generated by Windows itself, by the function which allows the selection of a codec.

Well possible that the dialog style is outdated and its functionality deprecated in operating systems newer than XP.

[DaveEL]

It's a standard windows function (part of the old VFW api) the program has no control over the appearance of the dialog.
