View Full Version : Synth part of video-sequence player?

Somewhat related to my other post about DV and Graphedit....

The end goal is to allow me to use a dynamic playlist for AVI files, and have them play, in sequence and without any jitters between them, out to either the firewire port, or the TV-out for my G400-DH.

All my original files start life as DV type-2 AVI NTSC. Of course, the output to firewire option would be sweet.

Now, for TV out, I notice that Mpeg2 files are a better choice because of interlace and CPU issues. And I have no issues converting all my source files to mpeg2 ahead of time.

Where AVISynth comes in to the picture, is that with some text fiddling, it provides a pretty easy nestable playlist. And it will play a sequence of files back to back without any stutters or jitters between avi's.

What I've come up against is that when I play the original DV-2 AVI files in MediaPlayerClassic, it plays no problem, on both VGA and perfect NTSC.

When I play this script:

AviSource("test.avi")

in MediaPlayerClassic, it stops going to the TV output, only plays on VGA.

What is it with the Synth script that somehow bypasses the renderer that seems to make the TV-out work.

I've been racking my brains for a week now, trying to figure out a solution, either by way of DV stream, or TV out.

Tried Video2DV, it's dv stream output was jittery.

Hey.. is there a way to force MediaPlayerClassic output to the firewire port?

Can GraphEdit help me in any way?

Thanks people.

odd, the only time I have had something work on my VGA monitor but not my TV was an overlay issue... But that would not make sense in this case...
