frame-serving (merge..)?

[QQ]

Greetings,

i have a specific need.. i have many short DIVX files captured. when I play them, I want to play them sequentially.. one after another, with ability to seek anywhere among them.. I cannot merge them for some specific reasons. So I thought perhaps I could use AviSynth to list all them as sources, but it gave me lots of problems.. first of all, sound didnt work, and second, it spawned a pair of ffdshow audio/video decoders for each file!

So is there any other utility, something like avisynth, which would have ability to create a "playlist", and serve it to media player as one big video file?

thank you.

If you merge them try using the Direct stream copy filter (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=71482). That way you can load all the files into your script and use this filter in conjunction with Vdub to direct stream copy to one big file.

What you want is not frameserving in it's usual meaning.

Problem is that AVISynth will freeze if there is VBR MP3 audio when use DirectShowSource. But even with CBR MP3 is unreliable.

If you have PCM audio it should work:

DirectShowSource("a.avi")+DirectShowSource("b.avi")+....

Of course it will work only if parameters for all clips are same.

Nothing is simple here :)

yeah, avisynth doesnt really work, thats why im asking :/ it's something like MPC playlist, but when you play it you get "previous"/"next" buttons, and i want it to appear as one long clip :(
