how to frameserve from AVS when encoder is CCE 2.50?

[FredThompson]

How is it possible to serve frames using an AVS script when the encoder is CCE?

I've tried going through VirtualDub both as direct stream copy and also fast recompress through HuffYUV set for YUY2 output. Both times generated a division by 0 error. This particular script has a virtualdub filter. Don't know if that makes a difference or not.

In any event, I'd far prefer to serve AVS's output rather than save a HuffYUV file because that takes so long to create.

I've read the description of Link2. Is there a freeware solution?

CCE 2.50 reads AVS files without any frameservers. Just load the AVS. Only thing to remember is to add ResampleAudio(44100) to the end of your AVS script.

[FredThompson]

Unfortunately, that's not an option. CNR2 filter crashes every time AVI2SVCD tries to open the script.

[dvd2svcd]

Well, you didn't say anything about that in post #1. Anyway, you can try ffvfw which is kind of like link2

[FredThompson]

yeah, sorry. I found the safe field was checked and the whole process would freeze on me every time. I thought it was due to AVS incompatibility and just did a "plain" encode to test.

Thanks, I'll take a look at ffvfw.

[FredThompson]

Uh...you mean ffvfw as in, the relative of ffdshow? Isn't that a codec, not a frame server?

http://cultact-server.novi.dk/kpo/avisynth/avs_cvs.html Install ffvfw and run makeAVIS.exe, it'll do the same thing as Link2.

[FredThompson]

Unfortunately, this isn't working. MakeAVIs crashes every time. It sees the source script and correctly determines the data related to that but when I click on the "create" button, no go. I've tried both of the settings at the bottom about storing the script and also tried an absolute path for the source AVI. Any ideas?

[FredThompson]

OK, this is even worse. Link2 crashes itself as soon as it's opened. There's a quick flash of the window then it's gone. Sigh...

@FredThompson:
Which version of AVISynth are you using ?
If you use >= 2.5, you could try the following:
Add "ConvertToYUV2()" and set the color space of Link2 also to YUV2.
This could help.

Hi Fred,

Using Avisynth.dll v2.5x as framserver for CCE 2.5 is not a problem at all, but you can't use "ResampleAudio(44100)" since the behavior of this function has changed in 2.5x

Try this one instead, it works fine for me:

LoadPlugin("...\MPEG2DEC3.DLL")
video=mpeg2source("Movie.d2v")
audio=BlankClip(1,audio_rate = 48000, sixteen_bit=true)
audiodub(video,audio)
...
ConvertToYUY2()

Link2 isn't crashing when it's asked for frames, it's crashing on startup. Really sucks.

As it turns out, serving frames really isn't needed right now as I've learned how to create a custom set of filters for the frameserver tab.

Thanks for the tip on MPEG source.
