Official AviSynth 2.5.0 beta

[24hourloop]

Is there any chance that DirectShowSource will support audio anytime soon? It is a painful process trying to resize an MPG file as long as the video and audio have to be split, audio offsets manually recorded, delayed in the script etc. etc.

@jang0: Thanks man! I'll update is ASAP - I'll post a message here when it's done.

@billaround: Look at my post from "30th January 2003 10:28" above.

Apologies if this sounds like a very basic question but I have searched for versions of mpeg2dec, mpeg2dec2 and mpeg2dec3 that are compatible with the latest avisynth 2.5. Except for MPEG2Dec3_094dg.dll I can't find anything that works. Also the links to compatible dll's in the documentation package seem to be broken for me.
Is there a package of all the compatible dll's and filters available for download?

Thanks in advance

[sh0dan]

mpeg2dec3 is included in the plugin package at SourceForge, an mpeg2dec2 is available somewhere around the forum, but only supports YUY2.

[Gazza]

Thanks sh0dan, I've got it now. Now I can carry on with testing. I have to say though that with the latest avisynth2.5 and MPEG2Dec3_094dg.dll plus the latest xvid the final encodes look absolutely great.

Is there likely to be additional filters and methods added (e.g. convolution3d?).

Cheers

Edit - I've just had a look at the package of plugin's. Please disregard question regarding convolution3d... Got a little ahead of myself.

Since nobody posted bugs yet, let me be the first one :)

I had a RGB32 source (compressed with the Asus codec) and when I added the line "AviSource("clip").ConvertToYV12" I got a green clip in VdubMod. When I added the line "AviSource("clip").ConvertToYUY2.ConvertToYV12" the clip looked normal. I guess (but didn't check it) this also happens with RGB24 clips.

[sh0dan]

@Wilbert: I cannot confirm this.

avisource("image.avi",pixel_type="rgb32").converttoyv12() works fine here. Could you post what info() is saying before and after the conversion (only video related stuff, width, height, pitch, colorspace, etc.).

RGB24 also gives ok results here.

[Wilbert]

Strange. I will do that (and attach a short clip), but you will have to wait until monday.

little question about the changelog, what's ment with:
'Fast XviD colorspace conversions' is it just a repetition of Yv12 support or does it mean something I didn't think of?

A little hint/explanation would be great.

Thx

Cu Selur I'd like to know it also. :)

Thx terwin

[sh0dan]

@terwin: That we've implemented XviD's colorspace conversion routines to convert back and forth between YV12 and other colorspaces.

[terwin]

Thanks for the quick answer. :)

Just wanted to report that I got avisynth 2.5 to encode fine after some growing pains, but I am having major sync issues that creating the video the exact same way with 2.07 didn't happen to. I did this by hand and not using DVD2SVCD. This was for a DVD->DVD conversion.
Here is my avs file:

LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\DVD2SVCD\MPEG2Dec\MPEGDecoder.dll")
MPEGSource("g:\bourne.d2v")
AddAudio()
ConvertToYUY2()


The d2v file I created using Forced Film with DVD2AVI 1.76. I used the exact same one with the exact same settings with both versions of the avisynth in CCE 2.5 and used Scenerist to author.

Were you using MPEGDecoder in 2.07? It has been known to have sync issues. Try with mpeg2dec3 or mpeg2dec.

Thanks

[Guest]

Both are stable. Only mpeg2dec3 supports YV12.

[onesoul]

Thanks for clarifying that for me :)

I used only the dll's that came from Sourceforge with the dll bundle for 2.5. If I tried any other it warned me, but in this case I had just done a fresh install of the OS on a clean disc so I know there was no rougue dll around.

When I have time I will try the other dll instead.

Has the strange issue about the missing last 3 frames been resolved within AviSynth 2.50 Beta or MPEG2DEC3.DLL?

Thanks in advance.

I was getting a Entry point not found error with msvcrtd.dll and i found that the Image Sequence Source Plugin was causing the msvcrtd.dll related error.

[theReal]

I was getting a Entry point not found error with msvcrtd.dll error and i found that the Image Sequence Source Plugin was causing the msvcrtd.dll error.Same for me. When I deleted the imagesequence.dll from the plugins directory, the error was gone.

I'm using WinXP Pro SP1, and newest versions of everything (just downloaded from sourceforge a few minutes ago)

[sh0dan]

I'm looking at WarpEnterprises modified source, that allows missing frames - that's why it isn'y updated yet.

[markrb]

I switched to using mpeg2dec3.dll instead of the mpegdecoder.dll and not only do I see a bit of a speed improvement my first tests are in sync. I have only done one full length movie and a couple of tests, but so far so good.

I have not been using this in DVD2SVCD. I have been doing it by hand. Once I am satisfied it's stable and works well outside I will try an encode with DVD2SVCD to see if I can get it to work.

RGB24 also gives ok results here.

I shared a short clip and added the asv1 decoder (win2000).

avisource(clip.avi).converttoyv12 # results in a green clip
avisource(clip.avi).converttoyuy2.converttoyv12 # doesn't result in a green clip

The clip can be found here:

I'm a bit new to AviSynth but I have been having success with 2.07. I've been using 2.07 on my test machine with no issues then I uninstalled 2.07 and installed 2.50 and all the plugins from the zip file. Using the same AVS file I started to receive the error "This application has failed to start because MSVCRTD.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix his problem"

I found this thread when I searched for the error and as stated I deleted imagesequence.dll. Now when opening the AVS file in CCE, CCE just closes with no error. Any idea why it is doing this?

PC Specs and AVS file:

P4 1.8ghz
384mb Ram
WinXP pro SP1
CCE 2.5
AviSynth 2.5

LoadPlugin("C:\WINDOWS\System32\mpeg2dec3.dll")
Mpeg2Source("mr_deeds.d2v")
Convolution3d (preset="movieHQ")
ResampleAudio(44100)

d2v file created with DVD2AVI 1.76 with ForcedFilm on.

[theReal]

I think that mpeg2dec3.dll creates yv12 output which is no problem for avisynth 2.5, but it is a problem for CCE.

Write "converttoyuy2()" at the end of your script.

If this doesn't fix your problem, then you're having the same problem as me. CCE 2.5 just won't load any of my avisynth 2.5.0 beta files, I don't know why - tmpeg doesn't have any problems (only if the output is YUY2, of course).

btw. I have similar specs (WinXP pro SP1, CCE 2.5, AviSynth 2.5)

[sh0dan]

Search for AddAudio. Resampleaudio doesn't work as it used to.

[MickeyNBK]

Ok after adding "addaudio()" I am now able to use CCE. Now I'm having sync issues and the video is choppy. I've tried CCE 2.5 and I downloaded and installed CCE 2.66 trial veraion to test. Using the same d2v (forced film) with vfapi it works fine. Below is my AVS file.

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\mpeg2dec3.dll")
Mpeg2Source("VTS__01_P01_1.d2v")
Convolution3d (preset="moviehQ")
ConvertToYUY2()
addaudio()
