Stupid Question But Dont Shout

[jeremymacmull]

Hey all,


Ok I have read the avisynth 2.5 FAQ which was posted today
And i am not really a newbie to this but...
I have also searched and read a lot of threads
so keeping all this in mind dont just tell me to search

right the question is:

in the avisynth 2.5 FAQ it says


"How do I use with AviSynth v2.5 with Gordian Knot?

- If you are using GKnot 0.26 you have to rename mpeg2dec3.dll (the one for AviSynth v2.5) to mpeg2dec.dll, and virtualdubmod.exe to virtualdub.exe (keeping copies of the original exe and dll somewhere).

- If you are using GKnot 0.27 you can follow the same procedure as above, or you can enter mpeg2dec3.dll as an alternative mpeg2dec.dll in the options menu and rename virtualdubmod.exe to virtualdub.exe.
"


BUT If you keep reading the general opinion is that not all the filters work tho not all are mentioned.

I use GKnot 0.27 only for PAL dvds i never use the noise filters the only filters i use are:

Bicubic resize (neutral,sharp,soft)
and Field Deinterlace for pal DVDs
(accessed thru the Gknot inteface not typed in manually in the script)

my question is will these filters work if i follow the procedure above to replace the old avisynth with 2.5 and replace vdub 1.5.1 with vdubmod 1.4.13.1 like described above for GKNOT 0.27??
and can i still let Gknot do all the calculations and set up(avisynth scripts etc) for me automatically using divx 5.02. ie. i set all the parameters ie credits and deintelace or not and resize and sound then i click add to encoding queue and i click start and thats it i go away for 10hours no more manual interaction neccessary ?

I just want a straight yes / no if possible!

if a straight answer not possible then please explain in really newbie terms how to go about making it compatible as i am sure others would like to know as well for the speed increase and quality. This is still with as little as possible manual interaction pls and still using all the scripts generated by Gknot possibly with just adding something or such.

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR THE ANSWERS

Yes you can use GKnot with AviSynth2.5

Make sure you have the correct versions of :mpeg2dec.dll, decomb.dll, TomsMoComp.dll and vobsub.dll (all can be found through www.avisynth.org)

Gordian Knot's filter options will not work. Any filtering will have to be done with the aid of manual editing of the .avs.

First of all thanks for the answer
second of all what do u mean by "Gordian Knot's filter options will not work. Any filtering will have to be done with the aid of manual editing of the .avs."

does this include the sharp bicubic, neutral bicubic, soft bicubic filters for resize i dont use any other filters ie temporal smoothers etc.

and/or the field deinterlace for pal DVD's

if yes what would i put in the avs?

thanks

ps i read that the compressibility check does not work with 2.5 installed is this true ie. the one in Gknot at say 5%

thanks again for the replys

No, I meant the noise reduction, Temporalsmoother/SpatialsmootherMMX etc. Both resize and fielddeinterlace (provided you have the correct decomb version) will work OK.

And, I'm not sure, but I think it should work, it was the earliest versions of A2.5 that didn't have a SelectRangeEvery() available, but that has been fixed in the release version. If it doesn't, get jonny's DivX5Enc. That proggie will do both Compression test and final encoding if you have problems with GKnot. It will not create the script though, it will not encode/mux audio, but it's very easy to use once you have the script.

Hi-

Stupid Question But Dont Shout

Did you think someone was going to yell at you? :)

[jeremymacmull]

ok here is where the "dont shout at me comes into play"

Tee hee!!

right ive installed Vdubmod latest prerelease 1.4.13.1 with the dlls
ive installed avisynth_060303 from the sig in the faq ive installed all the dlls ie tommoscomp decomb and mpeg2dec.dll

when i try to run a compressibility test it just fails in vdub mod (which is renamed to virtualdub etc etc) it does not actually start the compressibility test nor encode

HELP

ive tried to give as much info as possible but if there is more u need let me know

thanks in advance for the answers

Ok done everything again in case i missed out something and maybe i did cos ive got different results this time

when i click on compressibility check or save and encode it does start in vdub(mod) but then the program crashes and win 2k says error log is being created

no other messages but this was different from before

ALSO

i cant load up my d2v file anymore gknot says this is not a valid 1.76 dvd2Avi d2v file ive redone the file a few times now and no can do gknot accepts avi's fine tho at least untill one clicks encode

HELP still and sorry if im stupid

JEREMY

[jeremymacmull]

New development !!

Redownloaded the prerelease exe and if input is AVI all works

except colours are swapped everthing is blueish

i read about SwapUV(clip) but what would be the exact line id type into gknot to fix this


if input is d2v tho ... it says not valid dvd2avi 1.76 avs or avi file

help still sorry about pestering people

nearly there :P
