Is there a Avisynth newb guide out there ?

[breather]

I want to deal with Xvid in future, but i dont want to use tools like GK to make the avs Script(s). And now i'm searching for a good newb guide. I know the home of avisynth, but i dont think its a good source for newbs to learn something about it from beginning. Maybe its a good source for someone who now the basics of the syntax but i dont know the basics.

Do someone of you have i nice link for me ?

THX in advance

hi,

here's (http://www.doom9.org/mpg/d2a-mpeg2dec.htm) a guide on how to frameserve with dvd2avi and avisynth (using mpeg2dec(3)).

anyway, to learn avisynth it's best (imho at least) to take close looks at existing scripts, change parameters and see what happens. just do an avisynth script with gknot, then look at it and with the help of the guide and the reference on www.avisynth.org you should be able to figure out what parameter does what! afterwards you can proceed to adding (or leaving out) lines to get your personal script!

"btw.: I hope this thread is in the right forum !?"
kind of, best would have been to go to doom9.org and use the search function there to find avisynth guides!!

WoW, this is so complicated :(

Thats not easy for Newbs :(

Maybe i'll read the whole doc's tomorrow again, but now i'll go to bed, hope this helps against the headache :)

Hi-

Maybe its a good source for someone who now the basics of the syntax but i dont know the basics.

Then maybe you had better stick with Gordian Knot's .avs generation until you do. Lots of us use it for cropping, resizing and .avs generation, and then encode to XviD directly in VDubMod.

Maybe u are right, but sometimes is the easier way not the better way. I want to learn avisynth scripting and i want to know what i'm doing right now. U understand ?

Its hard to learn things that are complicated, but i think i'll do it
:D :D :D

I have to say I didn't find it complicated in the least.

What is difficult is figuring out what the filters (and the changes to filters you make in your script) are doing. Often I can see no difference between originals and filtered movies. This is usually an indication that either I don't know what I'm doing or I'm going about things the wrong way :)

Maybe one of you could help me in ICQ or IRC. I have some little questions and if i had answers it would be more easy for me !

Would be great !

why don't you post them here? if you do so and get the appropriate - and i'm 100% positive you will - other users that search for the same solutions will benefit from the help we give you!

breather, when I was learning AviSynth, the most helpful thing to me was the documentation that comes with AviSynth - IMO it's excellent and n00b-friendly. Also reading the readmes that come with your plugins helps a lot too. If still in doubt, another helpful possibility is to do a search here on the forum using some of your script commands as keywords, and you'll usually find someone doing something similar and can compare scripts. HTH,

I think it might be a good Idea to have a collection of proved Scripts here in the Board. For Newbies it is really not easy to find what they are looking for, because they are often not shure about what to search for.

Thank's Kika, I noted it.

We ll talk this over and I think that we might be able to do something like this.

[Kika]

Glad you like the idea. :)

I have my own experiences with this. As i startet using AVIsynth, i used the Search-Option very often. But without knowing the precise termes, it was hard to find the right things. Especialy the lots of Filters are not easy to handle. Ask 10 AVISynth-Users for the best way to handle a problem..., you will get 10 different Answers. ;)

[breather]

Ups, the thread is alive !?

I have to check the Options with the mail funktion after new posts,...

k, i will check this right now, and than i will make a list off all my newb questions :devil:

Ok, i'm back and have the first error with avisynth.

K, i have dvd2svcd installed but i also want to install avisynth 2.5. Is there a posibility to install both versions of avisynth ?

DVD2SVCD uses avisynth 2.07

I installed avisynth 2.52 and downloaded some filters for that version and wrote a avs script. But if i open the avs script with VDmod i have a green screen instead of the Video. I think its because i have both avisynth versions installed.

In the avisynth manual i read this one:

If you use an encoding package (like DVD2SVCD, GKnot, DVX, ...) make sure that you use the version of AviSynth that came with that package: it might be that new versions of AviSynth are not compatible with the package.

But now i hope theres a posibility to install two v ersion of avisynth cause i dont want to deinstall and install both tools every day.

Now i have deinstalled dvd2svcd but i have the same error:

Maybe one of u know a solution :(

deinstalling dvd2svcd doesn't necessarily mean that you fully get rid of avisynth 2.0x too.

anyway d2s is also working with 2.5x (although iirc it's only 'delivered' with 2.51) so there shouldn't be a problem using only one version of avisynth.

oh and if you do a search in the forum you'll come up with a ton of threads describing on what you have to do to have 2 avisynth versions installed!
