Fake-Avi not working

Postby Tearx » Mon Sep 21, 2009 11:05 pm

I have used this method for the longest time and no problem like this has happened before.

I'll give a basic rundown of what I'm doing:
Run Vob through Dgindex & then using avisynth I change it to MPEG2Source.
Code: Select all
MPEG2Source("G:\Areeba\Anime\Dnangel\DNANGEL.d2v")
converttoyv12()


I can load it into WMP and Vdub just fine. Then I use Vfap to make the Fakeavi(Vfapi runs fine), but the avi ends up not playing at all. When trying to put the avi into Vdub it says "cannot detect file type."

Heres a giant list of things I've already tried:
-triple checking my path in my .avs(it plays in wmp and opens up in Vdub just fine so I don't think that's it)
-starting from scratch and remaking everything
-Reinstalling avisynth/FFDshow
-using MakeAvis instead of Vfapi
-Readavs.dll
-Re-dling Vfap for whatever reasons

I did format my computer a while back, and I do not recalling making fakeAvis since. I wonder if I'm missing something that's completely obvious and I just forgot to install it..


Help would be much appreciated!


I hope I posted in the right section :sweat:

If vfapi is detecting the avs, then the solution lies elsewhere. Possibly colorspace issue? I'd try a converttorgb32() instead of that (useless) converttoyv12(), and then remaking the fake avi, but I'm not sure that'll fix it.

And yeah, the section is the right one.

AH, RIGHT! The guide now suggests pismo file mount, so you might want to eventually try that instead.

i believe vfapi has to be RGB32 to work properly.

Still didn't work when i changed it to converttorgb32()
I went and tried out Pismo. It works and is lovely so looks like I won't be using Vfap anymore.
Thank you =D
