Hi guys, Whenever i save a DVD2AVI project, i try to add it to VFAPI Reader Codec, i get the error message "???? D:\xfiles.d2v ??????." However when i save the project using DGindex, it works fine. Any ideas?
Why would you want to use DVD2AVI over DGIndex anyway? Also I really wouldn't recommend VFAPI. Checkout AVISynth instead.
Well when i load up DVD2AVI, there are these audio options (Dolby Digital Decode, Normalisation etc) that are blanked out when i load DGIndex. Also...I have AVISynth installed from when i installed DVD Rebuilder? I can't find the AVIsynth executable that will convert my video from DGIndex though?
Oh Ok...realised what i was doing wrong...DGIndex it is. But what about this AVIsynth business? I need to convert the d2v file into a "pseudo-avi" which i normally do with VFAPI Reader Codec. How do i do this with AVISynth?
I have AVIsynth installed but i don't know how to convert the d2v file into an AVI file so i can put it through VirtualDub?
AVISynth is a Command Line Scripting program so it has No Interface or executible.... If you want to use AVISynth to Frameserve your D2V File you Will First have to have the "Mpeg2Dec.dll" Plugin on your PC somewere ..(Like in a Folder Called "AVISynth Plugins") You will then have to write a Script that will look a Little Like this useing Windows "Notepad".... LoadPlugin("C:\AVISynth Plugins\Mpeg2Dec.dll") Mpeg2Source("C:\Video files\My Movie.d2v") Then save the Notepad File with an ".avs" extention and then Load it into your Encoder (Tmpgenc,CCE SP,Procoder,MainConcept all support AVS Files) and encode it.... Also remember if you are Makeing a D2V File from NTSC Mpeg-2/Vob files then you should have the "Forced Film" option enabled because this Removes the 3:2 Pulldown from the Source Video..... Cheers
Right, that sounds good. I shan't have to worry about the forced FILM bit since all my stuff is pal luckily. Thanks very much, i'll give it a go.
For DGIndex you should be using the version of dgdecode that came with it. If the plugin is in the AVISynth plugin dir though, you don't need to load it. Make sure that you don't use full processing in VDub or you will end up converting to RGB24 anyway.
What should i use instead of full processing in Vdub then? All the guides say i should use full processing but i'm not sure why, so can't really choose a different one? Cheers, Blighter
They are wrong then. You should use fast recompress. Only reason to use full processing is for filtering and I wouldn't that. Use AVISynth for filtering.
The thing is, there's this little black strip 5 pixels wide, and i can't remove it in AVIsynth because it's an odd number... I can however use the filters in VirtualDubMod to remove them (crop first, then resize). Is there any way to do this in AVIsynth or should i just stick to full processing mode and filters in VirtualDubMod?
The only way to crop odd numbers is to convert to RGB. The reason why VDub can do it, is that all its filters are RGB. AVISynth can do RGB as well, but I wouldn't recommend it. Converting to RGB and back will do far more damage than cropping an extra pixel.
