Okay, this thread is to address many topics steaming from a series of youtube videos I found with tutorials for the AMVApp. process.
Things go great until I get to this part of the tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UA6XJt7gV4o
At 1:00 minute into the video the creator clearly has an option in DGINDEX that is not apart of the version available in what is native to the package of programs in AMVApp.
Next at 2:19 seconds he has a % meter for 'Film Type' which I have not had reveal a % with any anime DVD I have tried using. It always says NTSC. I bring this up because, well, somebody made that step rather important and I cant even find it in the current program(s).
QUESTION 1: What version of DGINDEX is this guy using? Is it still valid? if not, what's the most comprehensive steps for film vs TV anime? I don't recall any such topic in the guides which was why I found these video tutorials so awesome ... until the versions started being outdated. More on that in a minute ...
So, anyway, with DGINDEX I used the FORCE FILM option for an anime that was clearly a movie.
My video still has deinterlaceing issues so I find the next part of the tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULcCsftR ... re=related
At 2:23 seconds he lists 2 script lines that are not apart of the native AviSynth that comes with AMVApp.
*** NOTE *** I am to believe that the version he downloaded required no extra mods, downloads, extra .dll's, or superfilous add-ons because he mentions no such need to download/mod the plug-ins.
The following: TFM and TDecimate <edit: I believe I have mentioned TDecimate before but its an example > are not lines accepted by VDUBMod. Both are considerd errors in the script line
Altough I am likely capable of finding scripts to do the same function as these mentioned, again: what version is this guy useing? What the newest one? is the newest one really that good and people use version _____ ?
QUESTION 2: What version of AviSynth do people use and what is the step-by-step process you guys use to update your filters? Are their packs, popular websites, etc...?
QUESTION 2.A ... In the AviSynth folder their are many .dll files in many different locations. Which one is the primary folder or does it matter as long as the .dll file is just in there somewhere?
QUESTION 3: Largarith(sp) and Huffyuv + VLC = horrible playback. I am running on a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and I wont lie, it handles most things well. Still, playback with anything encoded in these, running on Windows ( where I am playing with all this ) and VLC = an unplayable mess. Every 10 seconds the video freezes, slows, or VLC just shuts down. I can run 4.9 gig MKV, AVI, DV, whatever files and never get a huccup but when I try and playback these encoded files? Hiccup city. Has this happened to anybody else and if so, is it because of a version of VLC? I see 1.0, 1.1, various builds, etc... Whats the best to use?
I guess, my biggest question is: With AMVApp obviously being outdated in terms of the application versions, what versions play best with each other? Any steps outdated? Is there an unofficial new set-up for AMVApp's programs?
*** AGAIN, NOTE *** Thank you for even reading this and for those who have answered my other questions. It is frustrating to try and jump into such a hideously complex series of programs like these and expect 100% step-by-step answers but I hope this helps:
I am running on VISTA; At the moment I am running the standard AMV Application package, V.2. I have downloaded no other .dll files, add ons, packages, etc... I *HAVE* downloaded the CCP Codec pack.
Where do I go from here?
