ffms2 extras -- What are they?
I copied this:
ffms2-2.23.1-msvc.7z\ffms2-2.23.1-msvc\x64\ffms2.dll to here: c:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth+\plugins64+\ffms2.dll What are these? Do I need to do anything with them? Thanks! Last edited by markfilipak; 22nd October 2019 at 00:40. |

You dont need the .lib or exe (exe just for Command line indexing of source file, no usual need for it).
The avsi has a function stub which may/may not be easier to use than the dll function call, also provides a function to subtitle source file characteristics onto the video. Maybe keep the avsi, dump remainder.

IMO, I'd keep ffmsindex.exe. Many users think FFMS2 isn't doing anything when the first time they open a script, it 'feels' like it's hanging, when in fact it's actually indexing. ffmsindex prints a progress meter so you A) know it's indexing, that's the only purpose ffmsindex has and you know this going in, and B) you know it's actually doing something and can estimate how long until it's finished.

Haha, I do always index in advance for this reason. No getting annoyed or force closing VirtualDub when you forget you are opening a script that loads a non-indexed source.

Yep, that is the index we are talking about. ffms2 requires an index file before it will decode anything but it will make it automatically before the file loads if it does not exist. The exe is nice so you can make it in advance.
Though, the index Groucho was talking about is probably not the same index ffms2 uses. I don't think anything else uses this index. D2V files are similar but created by the DGDecode family.

Asmodian, may I ask you a question?
I haven't used AviSynth yet. I'm reading. But when I do use it on 'VTS_xx_1.VOB', 'VTS_xx_2.VOB', 'VTS_xx_3.VOB', ..., do those become independent ffms2 evocations or does something knit them together in advance? Or do I invoke ffms2 on the 'VTS_xx_1.IFO'? |

You might want to use something else to load VOBs. This a great job for DGDecode. You create an index for all the vobs together and then load that as one source file in Avisynth.

Huh? Are you guys talking about me? If so, I don't recall posting anything about indexing.

Or nervously pressing F5 to refresh the folder in which it's making the index file to see its size slightly go up on one side and the task manager that shows the program allocating RAM on the other, thinking "c'mon...! c'mon...!" like I do when I forget to index it in advance. xD

Thanks Folks! Can you tell this engineer who's designed video hardware but is a video software newbie what tools he should have in his toolbox? Tip: I like it hard & fast. Seriously, Thanks Folks. (I think I'm home.) PS: And can anyone tell me why, though I've set up my account here to give me instant emails, I do not get email notifications? Any tips regarding what else I need to do? (like, maybe, set each post for email notifications?) Last edited by markfilipak; 24th October 2019 at 01:15. |

Others have reported email notifications not working as well. I think they may just be broken.

Code:
10-03-06 09:43 221,262 DGDecode.dll -- Downloaded from http://rationalqm.us/dgmpgdec/dgmpgdec.html a few minutes ago. 11-11-03 00:17 381,952 DGDecode.dll -- Had it for awhile, don't know where I got it. Now, did Donald find a problem with 11-11-03 that caused him to regress to 10-03-06? Or should I use 11-11-03? BTW, both pass VirusTotal. Last edited by markfilipak; 24th October 2019 at 05:03. |

It all looks very intriguing and potentially very useful. But what is madVR? The home page reads like advertising bullshot ...whiter teeth, fuller flavor, better love life. Last edited by markfilipak; 24th October 2019 at 08:59. |

Did you find the threads here? madshi first released madVR on this forum and there is a lot of discussion surrounding it in the Software players section. It is a free DirectShow video renderer that uses the GPU to do very high quality chroma and image scaling along with a lot of other features. It prioritizes quality over everything else.

Relax Don, I don't think he's a troll. He's just too eager to know all so fast for his own good I was one myself a long time ago..
I think that modded version is just an ICL build with some optimizations enabled. It's probably a bit faster than the official version, not that it should matter with any modern CPU.
