Wierd conversion?

[Duelingk]

I converted a video from Mpg-4 to Avi. I used the ffmpegsource with vdubmod, but the output video is twice as fast. It's half the length of what it should be. I used the lossless codec. What did i do wrong?

sounds like you didn't set a framerate.... i think you have to do that with ffmpegsource

[Duelingk]

How do i set a framerate? I did everything that a previous topic said to do.

Put this in your script after the line where you called the video file:

AssumeFPS(29.97)

[LivingFlame]

Correction: That was assuming your frame rate is, in fact, 29.97. If it should be something else, then change it to that.

[Duelingk]

It says there is an open failure.

This is what the code says:
ffmpegsource("C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\Code Geass Hangyaku no Lelouch 24 DVD RAW (x264 704x480 AAC)[3B4B2245]")
AssumeFPS(29.97)

Or do i put it all in one line?
like this:
ffmpegsource("C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\Code Geass Hangyaku no Lelouch 24 DVD RAW (x264 704x480 AAC)[3B4B2245]") AssumeFPS(29.97)

How do you know what your framerate should be?

[LivingFlame]

You can open the video file in VLC and then go to View > Stream and Media Info...

From there go to the advanced information tab. It'll tell you the frame rate.

If you don't have VLC, Media Player Classic will give it to under File > Properties > Details tab.

I did that (VLC FTW!) but there still is an open error. It has something to do with the new code you told me to put in. I mus be writing it wrong. Can you show me an example script?

[LivingFlame]

Uh, I don't know what to tell you. That should work. All it has to be is:

Code: Select all

ffmpegsource("file_path.ext")
AssumeFPS(#)

That works perfectly fine for me.

Is that file path what's in your script? Usually the desktop would be through C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop.
