3.0 progress

[Bidoche]

avs3 exposes scripts as VFW objects the same way avs2 does (under Windows).
Programes using it through VFW won't notice the change.
Those like VdubMod who directly use some avs features will need to be adapted.

Under Linux, avs3 links with gstreamer.


As for plugins, thx to Richard Berg's request, I finally came up with something I hope satisfactory (feedback welcome)
class Linker
{
virtual char * GetName() const = 0;

virtual PPlugin Link(LibraryHandle const& handle) const = 0;
};

class Plugin
{
//combination of those two = plugin identity
virtual char * GetName() const = 0;
virtual char * GetVersionLabel() const = 0;

virtual char * GetDescription() const = 0;
virtual char * GetFunctionDef() const = 0;

virtual bool CanUnloadNow() const = 0;

virtual VMFunction GetFunction(std::string const& logicalFunctionName) const = 0;
};

When a plugin is loaded, it will search for an exported "GetAvisynthLinkingMode" symbol (with C linkage)

If it cannot be found, the linking will be passed to the Linker named "legacy' if it is known (ie the definition of the LegacyLinker will be left to a plugin I think).
If it is found, it called to get the name of the linker to use to link the plugin.

Each linker then defines the interface it expects.

For the NativeLinker, provided by the avs3 core and named "native" :

all the methods from Plugin as exports with same prototype
+
void PluginInit(AvisynthServer& server, PPlugin& self)
//this is called after the NativeLinker created the PPlugin object, but before any function calls
//The point of passing PPlugin is allowing to declare Linker and ColorSpace to the server and have them keep the plugin alive

hm, so if avisynth 3.0 is not relying anymore on vfw, will it also be able to handle variable framerate content?any news on this?

strange. There should be no problem. I'll check that. Nevertheless, it's useless to give the path of freetype-config if it's in the PATH (/usr/bin should be in the path, I think). Also, disable ffmpeg (--disable-ffmpeg), it's not supported anymore as it has some problems with audio.

any idea?

dew

I think that aviso means warning. It's not errors. It's not important : the compiler does not see that these variables are used

note that STLport 5.0 has been released.
I'll suppress the stlport 4.6.2 support in configuration.

for the first problem, I don't understand how it's possible to have this error. Dimension is declared. Also, memcpy should be on your computer

what is your distro ?

also, I would like to say that the test program should be a bit bigger in some days. It will be possible to compress a file with x264. The gui will look a bit like virtualdub's one

[sl1pkn07]

my system is Fedora Core4, use GCC 4.0.1 and Kernel 2.6.14-1.1637

[esby]

hm, so if avisynth 3.0 is not relying anymore on vfw, will it also be able to handle variable framerate content?

any news on this?


For having talked a bit with bidoche one week ago, I think the answer might be a 'no' for the current state.
Probably because the vfr does not bring much in term of video treatment, of course, it is useful when you want to storage video stream using different framerates, but in this case, it is not really a variable framerate, but just a video having segments of different but fixed framerate, I think mkv support that already.
Since the avi container does not support vfr, I don't personnaly expect avisynth (any version) to support it.
Now you can still simulate it with external timestamp files or maybe with an application asking the timestamp/framerate for each frame, supposing the container used can support it and supposing the corresponding interface is implemented.

@sl1pkn07: the errors in memcopy.cpp are fixed in cvs.

it has just compiled fine on my distro (ubuntu hoary with g++ 4.0).

tell me if there are others errors for you. Ignore the warnings.

other changes:
* STLport 4.6.2 support is removed. Only STLport 5.0 is supported now. Follow the instructions for the installation of STLport 5.0 in the docs/html directory
* ffmpeg support is removed. Only gstreamer (0.8.11) is used. When gstreamer 0.10 is usuable, i'll add support for it. It's supposed to be better than gstreamer 0.8, but it has a BIG problem with seeking, so that it's completely useless with avs3 right now.

when i finish the gtk widget for the configuration of the x264 (and when it is accepted by Lauren), i'll commit an upgraded test program, which will be able to compress with x264 and put the video in a mkv. Right now, the one on my hd works :)

[d'Oursse]

i've also that when I use ifstream with stlport 5.0. I've fixed that by using C code. It's not a good solution, but the test program should compile, now.

What are the problems with the installation steps on Unite Video ?

edit: don't forget to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the correct directories if a shared library is not found

Are there any news? Is the parser working?

[d'Oursse]

i'm working on the gstreamer 0.10 port, but I have 1 remaining problem :( Gstreamer 0.8 is not supported anymore, and gstreamer 0.10 is thread safe, has better seeking, lots of fixes compared to the 0.8, ...

I let Bidoche answer for the core stuff

[d'Oursse]

Some news :

I've ported, finally, avisynth to gstreamer 0.10 (linux version). It was harder than I thought, because of threads problems. Now I have made a specific gstreamer sink for avs3. It makes the code simpler and smaller.
i've updated the C API, and now the application test uses that api. The application can read script files.

Example of avs file:
GstreamerSource("/mnt/win_d/provi/blood.avi",0,0)

the 2 last parameters are the index of the video and audio streams. You wonder why I have added an index for the video stream. Well someone told me that mkv can have several video streams, so, I've added it.
I don't think that Bidoche has worked a lot on the parser, so I think that right now, only sources can be used, iirc.

Things that I have to work on :

audio part : I have to add the code, and maybe a specific gstreamer sink for that :) Right now, all files with audio part will not work because of this.
add more feature to the app test (save a file using x264, slider not handled yet, ...)


it compiles on my computer and the test program works on avi and ogm without sound. But it has some problems. Some come from gstreamer (mkv files), some from me (mainly, missing code of the audio part).

So I know that most of those who will try to test it will certainly have a lot of problems with using it. But, I would be glad to, at least, have some reports about difficulties while compiling it.

here are the last news ;)

thank you

edit : the anon cvs of SF is certainly not up to date with the dev one. Wait some hours after this post before doing a check out

[Zarxrax]

It looks like Google's Summer of Code is up for another year. Will Avisynth 3.0 be getting in on the act this time around?

[d'Oursse]

it's not obvious.
1) It needs a mentor.
2) It needs a good student, who want to code on avs3
3) It needs to be accepted by the program.

Only point 2) would be easy to match, afaik :/ For example, enlightenment (which is a big project) has been rejected (point 3) )

[dirio49]

Any news?;)

[d'Oursse]

about the Summer code project : it's not in the project.

about the code itself, look at my homepage, it's the avs3 web page. There is some news on it. Especially, the installation on linux is there, now (look at the documentation link)

Bidoche is working on a new parser. I'll improve the avisynth test and i'm supporting fontconfig, so that fonts are correctly found on linux system (it can be used on windows too).

[d'Oursse]

i've made a small archive that contains the library and the test program (for linux. I'll try to make a windows version during the next week with mingw)

the archive can be downloaded there :

http://www.iecn.u-nancy.fr/~torri/files/avs3.tar.bz2

it contains 2 subdirs :

avs3/lib : contains the libraries for avisynth, boost, freetype fontconfig and x264
avs3/bin : contains the program avisynth_test

copy the libraries of avs3/lib that you don't have in /usr/lib (or any dir where shared lib can be found)
copy avisynth_test in a dir of your PATH

You must have gstreamer 0.10 and gtk+ 2.8 installed

with the test program, you can load scripts (I'va added one in the dir avs3/ of the archive), compress with x264, go through the clip with the slider of the gui.

right now, gstreamer can't load ogm files. I've tested some mpeg, avi, mp4 and mkv files. It seems to work.

tell me if i've missed a file in the archive ;)

using Fedora core 5 and all dependences (freetype, x264, boost, gstreamer,STLport....)

[d'Oursse]

use :

GstreamerSource("/home/sl1pkn07/.wine/drive_c/amv.avi", 0, 0)

for the script.

Also, could you tell me if it works with blood.avi and blood.mkv, that you can find here : http://www.iecn.u-nancy.fr/~torri/files/gstreamer_test_seek/

thank you

[sl1pkn07]

oks, sorry :S

one cuestion... VSfilter (subtitle render) working on this method? or he is not compatible still with avisynth 3.0

thanks

[d'Oursse]

helas, no. No avs 2.5 filter will be compatible. We'll have nevertheless a good text renderer (for example : http://avisynth3.unite-video.com/avs_text.png)
A friend will make some plugin ports this summer. Maybe he'll do the vsfilter port :)

[sl1pkn07]

roger! ^^

whereupon it has effects karaoke, scrolls, moves, fades (the basic thing for fansubing) would be very useful, is what we needed more at this moment to be able to encoder in this platform (linux/macos).

greetings and good luck!

sory for my blablabla english :P

[Mug Funky]

ooh, this is exciting :)

No avs 2.5 filter will be compatible.

would it be possible to fudge it with a "loadpluginex" type plugin?

it doesn't worry me either way, but it'd be nice because a lot of old filters are no longer developed but are still useful.

[Blue_MiSfit]

This is excellent news. I assume that if 3.0 will run on Linux that it could theoretically be ported to Mac OS X without too much trouble. Imagine Final Cut Pro -> AviSynth -> x264 for output. I'm very excited by this possibility!

~MiSfit

[d'Oursse]

mug funky : i think that everything is possible :)

blue_misfit : No problem for Mac OSX : if you have a c++ compiler (g++ exists for Mac OSX, if i'm not misaken), freetype, fontconfig, gstreamer and its plugins, you can have the lib. With gtk and x264, you can have the gui.

that makes me think that maybe a small app with no gui can be usefull. And in fact, when avisynth 3.0 is stable, an x264 input will be great too (i've already made one, but pengvado didn't want to add it, as avs3 is not released yet)

[danpos]

@d'Oursse

I tried it you and I got this error:

danpos@WOLF:~/avs3/bin$ ./avisynth_test
./avisynth_test: symbol lookup error: ./avisynth_test: undefined symbol: _ZTIN8stlp_std8ios_baseE

Did I miss something?

TIA,

[d'Oursse]

danpos : do you have an amd 64 or another processor different from common x86 ?

[danpos]

danpos : do you have an amd 64 or another processor different from common x86 ?

I think that this isn't the case: AMD Athlon XP+ 2600. I'm running Ubuntu 'Dapper Drake' GNU/Linux ...

See you,

[d'Oursse]

strange. It should not use stlport iostream. And if it needs it, the error message would be different.

nevertheless, install that file :
http://www.iecn.u-nancy.fr/~torri/files/libstlport.so.5.0.0
in the same dir than the boost files, and do a symbolic link from this file to the files libstlport.so.5.0 libstlport.so.5and libstlport.so

[danpos]

@d'Oursse

OK, this lib fixed the pb and I got load the avisynth_test program! :)

But when I tried load the test.avs script out, avisynth_test crashes out:

I tried an avi and mkv file using full path to both files:

Ideas?

hohooo, i think that i have forgotten the video and audio sinks in the archive :)

I'll make another archive this evening, with stlport and those sinks.

[sl1pkn07]

blabla.avi",(space)0,(space)0)

=)

[d'Oursse]

I've made an archive here :

http://www.iecn.u-nancy.fr/~torri/files/avs3.tar.bz2

1) in avs3/ run 'make' to have informations where the files will be intalled
2) In Makefile, change prefix, libdir, bindir and libdir_gstreamer to where you want to install the files. Check also if you need to install freetype, fontconfig or x264
3) 'make install' in order to install the files
4) 'make uninstall to remove them

I suggest that you install the files in a specific prefix (see the output of 'make'). Be sure that libdir_gstreamer is the dir where the gstreamer plugins are located

I hope that everything is in the archive, now

[danpos]

@d'Oursse

OK, time to boot my Ubunty GNU/Linux SO and so try this new package out. :)

I let you know about my findings soon.

See you,

@d'Oursse

Hi there! I got success to build the avisynth_test.exe following yours hints. :) I play with it a bit and so I got some success to renders some videos which were done with different container. Lets go to output from using avisynth_test.exe (again, I'm using GNU/Linux Ubuntu 'Dapper'):

#1: container MPEG (MPEG2 PS - video MPEG-2 NTSC DVD / audio AC3 2.0 - encoded from a small AVI clip with avidemuxer 2.2.0 svn 2091):

I load the .mpg file into avisynth_test.exe and got sucess to use menus (see the picture, where I used the 'info' button present on file Menu; I got success to go frames back and forth using edit Menu -> Goto), but the slider bar is buggy: avisynth_test.exe hungs up and so <ctrl>+c is the way to go ...

http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/5134/capturadatela8tx.th.png (http://img46.imageshack.us/my.php?image=capturadatela8tx.png)

Here's the stdout from avisynth_test.exe:

With this file, avisynth_test.exe hung up when I tried go to end of video.

I don't got sucess load a MKV file (H.264 / AAC) and with some others small AVI clips with MP3 VBR audio ...

Take care,

[d'Oursse]

danpos: I'm not surprised about the mpeg file. Gtreamer is not that good with them. But it's strange that you have problems with the avi and mkv files. Can I download these files somewhere, please ? (i don't have many)

[danpos]

Can I download these files somewhere, please ? (i don't have many)

You've got a PM! :)

See you,

[d'Oursse]

the main problem (exception thrown + segmentation fault) was coming from a bug in the audio part of avs3 (mp3, mainly). It's fixed. The hang up is coming from the exact seeking in gstreamer, which is not... exact. Well, not for all demuxers and decoders. I can't do much about that for now, except a bad hack. Gstreamer needs to be fixed ;)

OK, good to know that you've fixed the problem with avs3. Lets wait for a Gstreamer fix so ... ;)

Keep up the development. :)

[ChrisBensch]

Is this still being working on? I can't download the files earlier in the post...

[d'Oursse]

yes it is, even if it has been slow down, as the new parser takes some time to be written. I've changed my server, and i've not moved the new files.
I'll try to put new files on my new server next week (i'll be far from a computer for somes days)

[Spotteri]

It's excellent news that avisynth is finally available for linux (without wine). Linux video editing just took major step forward.

I'm trying to compile avisynth using the guide on the avs3 homepage. Everything goes fine and no errors (well some headers and libraries had to be linked), but I was left without a GUI. For some reason ./configure doesn't find my x264 install (latest from svn). Has anyone had a similar problem? Where does the ./configure look for it?

[d'Oursse]

you need the gtk interface for x264
you can enable it with --enable-gtk passed to x264 configure. It's disabled by default
I should add more precise comments about the problems

[Spotteri]

Well that did it.

Sorry about being so vague, but that was my problem. Only thing I had was ./configure telling it can't find x264 codec(not even where it was looking for it). Good thing that you knew what was going on. And now for some testing....

[d'Oursse]

well, I wrote the gtk interface of x264 especially for the gui of avs3, so it was easy for me to know what the problem was :D

[d'Oursse]

Gstreamer developpers are allowing projects using Gstreamer to participate to the Google Summer of Code. As Avisynth 3 uses it...

Here is the SoC project page ( http://live.gnome.org/GStreamer/SoC2007) of Gstreamer.

If you are a student and are interested in that project, here is the timeline (http://code.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=60325&topic=10729
).

and about the progress, well the low level parser is almost finished and the C api and the gui are a bit improved. I'm also writing a doc for the design of the parser.

[liquidator87]

How can I obtain the binary? the code from CVS doesn't compile, and the link return 404...

[liquidator87]

Anyone? Can someone send me the archive mentioned earlier?
