Script Problems

[jdude1225]

This is the script I have for AviSynth: DirectShowSource("C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\AMV Folder\Abridged1.wmv") and when I try to open it w/ Virtual Dub Mod I get this error message:

AviSynth open failure:
DirectShowSource: Could not open as video or audio.

Video returned: " DirectShowSource: couldnt open file C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\AMV Folder\Abridged1.wmv: Anobject or name was not found."

Audio returned: " DirectShowSource: couldnt open file C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\AMV Folder\Abridged1.wmv: Anobject or name was not found."

(C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\AMV Folder\Abridged1.avs, line 1)


When I tried change my script to: DirectShowSource("C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\AMV Folder\Abridged1.avs") and I would try to open it w/ Virtual Dub Mod, Virtual Dub would just close.

but... you can play this wmv file as is in windows media player?

ya I can play in .wmv in Movie Player but I finally got my script on Virtual Dub Mod the only thing is the timing is GREATLY off and the file size has gone from 77.2MB to 8.68 GB. So how can I fix the time w/o getting some huge file?

To fix the timing you need to have the script set up thusly:

Code: Select all

DirectShowSource("file.wmv", fps=29.97, convertfps=true)

(I use relative paths; that way I don't have to deal with typing out long directories - just make sure the script is in the same folder as the .wmv)

Gah, double-post...

To not have it output a massive file, use something like XviD - just don't edit with the resulting file. If you want to edit, then save clips with HuffYUV or Lagarith instead of converting the entire episode.

My script right now is:

DirectShowSource("C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\AMV Folder\Fullmetal Alchemist the Abridged series episode 1_Beta5.wmv", 23.976, fps=29.97, convertfps=true)

but Im getting this error message:

AviSynth open failure:
Evaluate: Unrecognized exception!
(C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\AMV Folder\Fullmetal Alchemist the Abridged series episode 1_Beta5--default.avs, line2)

You gave 4 parameters instead of 3 - you only need to give 1 fps value, not 2, and knowing which is correct is important...

My script for AviSytnth is:

mpeg2source("C:\Documents and Settings\Juan\My Documents\My Projects\CB - Freedom or Death.d2v", idct=5. CPU=4, ipp=true)

And Virtual Dub error says:

Cannot determine file type "C:\Documents and Settings\Juan\My Documents\My Projects\CB - Freedom or Death\CB - Freedom or Death--default.avs"

It's like not letting me use Avisynth at all. -_-* plz help.

And Virtual Dub error says:

Cannot determine file type "C:\Documents and Settings\Juan\My Documents\My Projects\CB - Freedom or Death\CB - Freedom or Death--default.avs"

Er, you <i>do</i> have AVISynth installed, correct? That's the only reason I can think of why this error message would occur.

Yea I do, before it used to look like a script thing. but now it lookes like that square data thing, u kno, the thing that doesnt seem to know what program to use. But it opens up just fine, and I have avisynth installed and everything.
