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.
