Is there a way to frameserve MOV files?

[Tuning]

How can QT movs frame served using AVIsynth?What are the filters required?

If it is impossible then why?

Thanks

Yup. Get the QT Reader from the support util's section of the Doom9 download page, and use the LoadVFAPIPlugin() command. It has two issues: first it usually turns the video upside down, and creates duplicate frames, both easily fixed with AviSynth. A typical script for me looks like:


loadvfapiplugin("c:\program files\avisynth 2.5\plugins\qtreader.vfp","qtreader")
qtreader("revtrailer.mov")
flipvertical()
selectevery(24,0)

In this case, it created 24 duplicate frames in a row. I determined this using VDub, look for a high motion scene and skip forward frame by frame to see how many duplicates have been created.

As far as audio goes, I usually demux it with GraphEdit, file splitter >
wave source > file writer. Depending on which QuickTime version the file is, the windows DShow splitter or 3ivx's should work. hth,

Does anyone have any idea what causes the duplicates frames or what determines the number?

Thanks KpeX

BTW,it was the same "batch" of files you quoted in script......;)

No idea really. I've only frameserved QT 3 or 4 times, and in my limited experience with the QTReader, it seems to be pretty much random.
