Online source footage...(not an amv project but for work)

Postby Gene Starwind 21122 » Thu Mar 04, 2010 9:15 am

Okay long story short is my boss wants me to make a music video for a certain group but does not wanting them to know about it. He has had me go online and download the videos off of facebook by using RipTiger. I've tried using keepvid, savevid, and some others, but none of those work. So after using RipTiger, I then re-encoded the videos as avi's and tried to create an avs script file. That didn't work. So then I took the videos and burned them to DVD, ripped them using DVD Decrypter, then created an avs script file using DGI Index, dropped it in Premiere and at first it looks like it is going to work but then half way through each script file it stays on a static image. So my question is how do you get the footage to work inside premiere without it freezing up or lagging. I'm running out of ideas. Normally I would ask the group if they have the footage on a legitimate DVD. However my boss wants this to be a suprise.

Thank you

Why didn't it work? What was the problem?
What codec did you encode them to? What avisynth source filter did you use? If you encoded them to lossless avis, then you really wouldn't even need to load them through avisynth.

Adobe programs have a bug with big lossless files, especially when 23.976. If loaded directly they'll either become 23.98 OR will just show a frozen frame after a while in the stream. Loading those same avis through avs makes them work fine, though. I don't think the same issue occurs with other framerates, at least not the rounding framerate issue, but the frozen frame issue might as well happen for other framerates too.
