Free H.264 MVC 3D Encoder

I need some help with FRIMSource64(), please.
My working enviroment: Windows 10, FRIM version 1.29 (x64) (Avisynth+ (Intel Media SDK 2018 R1))
I'm trying to pipe .h265 video to x265.

>avs2yuv64 -frames 24 -raw -depth 10 -par 1:1 encode_Mission_Impossible.avs -
encode_Mission_Impossible.avs
LoadPlugin("C:\Programs\AviSynth+\plugins64+\FRIMSource64.dll")
FRIMSource64(codec="h264", filename="F:\Mission_Imposssible_Ghost_Protocol\Mission_Imposssible_Ghost_Protocol.h265", cache=1, num_frames=24)
The result is:
error: Script error: There is no function named 'FRIMSource64'.
(encode_Mission_Impossible.avs, line 2)

The requirenment for libmfxsw64.dll to be "placed in any directory which is specified in PATH environment variable" is fulfilled - it is in two directories.

What can I do about this?
Thanks.

What about

FRIMSource(codec="h264", filename=…

?

LoadPlugin("C:\Programs\AviSynth+\plugins64+\FRIMSource64.dll")
FRIMSource64(codec="h264", filename="F:\Mission_Imposssible_Ghost_Protocol\Mission_Imposssible_Ghost_Protocol.h265", cache=1, num_frames=24)

FRIMSource64.dll is Version 1.29.

Maybe, it is because of the file I'm trying to source - .h265?
Format: HEVC
Bit depth: 10 bits

FRIM_release_notes.txt reads:
2018-07-08
FRIM all:
- experimental HEVC support

Actually, I'm trying to pipe .h265 stream to x265 encoder.

Second attempt:

The same result.

I've found a workaround:
ffmpeg -i Mission_Imposssible_Ghost_Protocol.h265 -strict -1 -f yuv4mpegpipe -

Maybe, I have some general problem. I cannot get this filter working at all.

Are you suggesting my using 32-bit AviSynth+?

OK. I've run plugins64.reg.
I've run
FRIMSource(codec="h265", filename="G:\Mission_Imposssible_Ghost_Protocol\Mission_Imposssible_Ghost_Protocol.h265", cache=1, num_frames=24)
in AvsPmod and got
ERROR:Failed to load plugin (1D962A45A43FF41A6)
ERROR:undeveloped feature (-3), ...

Is there an instruction for installing these plugins?

Read document FRIM_setup_readme.pdf which is part of the distribution. There is description of the plugin installation.

In general, you need to edit plugins64.reg and set there path accordingly - only then can FRIM find relevant plugin.

Furthermore, the plugins which are part of free distribution, are SW based only. So you will need to use FRIMSource(…, platform="sw", …)

Unfortunately, I cannot make FRIM works.
I’ve registered the plugins with plugins64.reg and I have:

>avs2yuv64 -seek 1 -frames 24 -raw -csp I420 -depth 10 avs\encode-FRIM.265.avs -| x265-10b - ...

[FRIMSource(codec="h265", filename="F:\Mission_Imposssible_Ghost_Protocol\Mission_Imposssible_Ghost_Protocol.mkv", cache=1, num_frames=24, platform="sw")]

This one works:

Mission_Imposssible_Ghost_Protocol.mkv

FRIM does not parse .mkv container...

Sorry my absentmindedness.

The context is avs2yuv64.exe. It is avs2yuv-0.24bm5 - the last version.

When I use ffms2-2.23.1 as a source FFMS2(<"file_name.m2ts">, colorspace = "yuv420p10")
it works and the process displays the mesage:
encode-FFMS2.265.avs: 3840x2160, YUV420P10, 10-bits, progressive, 12500/473 fps, 3171 frames

When I use FRIMSource - FRIMSource(codec="h265", filename=<"file_name.m2ts">, cache=1, num_frames=24, platform="sw")
the mesage is:
avisynth 16-bit hack enabled
encode-FRIM.265.avs: 1920x2160, YV12, 10-bits, progressive, 24000/1001 fps, 24 frames

The same mesage I've got with ffms2-2.23.1 when I used the old avs2yuv64.exe version - avs2yuv-0.24bm3

When using file.m2ts (i.e. TS-container), you have to add

FRIMSource(… ,container="ts",...)

For more FRIMSource details see FRIMSource_readme.pdf from distribution...


I'm not familiar with avs2yuv64.exe …

All plugins are in place, obviously.

Intel/MediaSDKPlugin
C:\Programs\AviSynth+\FRIM_x64_version_1.29\x64\

With container="ts"

error: ERROR: expect more data at input (-10), c:\prj\intelmedia\frim_decode\src\pipeline_decode.cpp (587)
ERROR: expect more data at input (-10), c:\prj\intelmedia\frim_decode\src\pipeline_decode.cpp (262)

Can you open your script encode-FRIM.265.avs directly using e.g. MPC-HC(x64) media player?
(You need to use some 64-bit media player which is capable to play Avisynth+ scripts. MPC-HC(x64) is able to do it).

If yes then script is correct and problem is somewhere in avs2yuv64.exe - this I cannot help...

If not, MPC-HC(x64) will show you error message to resolve...

MPC-HC(x64), AvsPmod too, can play the scripts.
When playing FFMS2("file_name.m2ts", colorspace = "yuv420p10") there is a normal 3640x2160 picture.
When playing FRIMSource(codec="h265", filename="file_name.m2ts", cache=1, num_frames=240) there is no picture.

with FRIMSource(codec="h265", filename="file_name.m2ts", cache=1, num_frames=240, container="ts")
there is the Error message above when I've tried .mkv file.

but FRIMSource(codec="h265", filename="file_name.h265", cache=1, num_frames=240) plays and V: rawvideo, yuv420p, 3840x2140

@videofan3d
Are you capable of developing an MVC encoder?

Send me the script - I'll check it....

The scripts:
container not specified - no picture
FRIMSource(codec="h265", filename="file_name.m2ts", cache=1, num_frames=240)

container="ts" - error
FRIMSource(codec="h265", filename="file_name.m2ts", cache=1, num_frames=240, container="ts")

As to "I'm not sure whether you read the first post of this thread

Sorry, I've missed the important part.

I've tried it and I would like to ask you some questions about:
(Better if there is a written instruction.)
- VBR - avg, maximum; obviously I can change them. But, working with x264, I prefer Constant QP with control over the maximum bitrate.
- are there other parameters avilable
- performance - with no more than 38% CPU load I've got 7 fps.

In general, the most information the better.
