Help with converting WMV9 to XviD

[TNM]

I had some .avi encoded with WMV9, I tried to load them into avisynth 2.52 and used the latest vdubmod/fast recompress to convert them to XviD but the result was jumpy and the a/v was totally out of sync... Then I tried to load the files directly into vdubmod and used full processing mode, the result was fine this time...

My avs script is very simple:

avisource("E:\Project Chobits\Chobits - Ep05.avi").killaudio()
lanczosresize(640,352)

My question is how I can convert these clips using the avs method because I don't want to convert the color space, I believe there would be some quality loss if I do so. Thanks in advance :)

Sorry if this is the wrong place, dunno if I should post this in XviD or AVS forum :p

Really this has no relevance to XviD, so it would have been better in the AVS Forum. If you don't get any good replies here, ill move it.

I honestly don't know why you would have got that skipping problem using fast compress (maybe there are problems with a WM9 AVI and AVISource??)...Can you not use Fast Compress when loading the AVI directly into VDubMod ?

You could also try directshowsource instead of avisource in your script. But then your video gets post processed. If you don't want this disable PP by the reg key posted by amrim in this thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=51182&perpage=20&highlight=key&pagenumber=4).
Hope that helps.

@Nic
I think there isn't any problems with the .avi coz i can playback it fine, and I can still use avisource() for other encoding without any problems...
Also, I can't load the file directly into vdm and use fast recompress coz I need to resize it

@Assault

Thanks for the link but directshowsource() doesn't work either :( .Maybe the color space between WMV9 and XviD is different so fast recompress would cause problems :confused:
