Newbie to AviSynth needs help.

[-Jp]

I just finished a new AMV, and this is my first time using AviSynth.

I went to import it there but it says it says the file size is to big.

When I rendered the video from Sony Vegas I saved it as an Uncompressed avi. The file is 9.49 Gb (I have no idea why uncompressed videos are so big). Please help me, I never used AviSynth before.

[-Jp]

I also forgot to mention that on Zarx264gui 1.1 beta, when I select Avi, and try to import the uncompressed avi, it says "External component has thrown an exception." It also said that when I tried importing the Avs file the first time I tried AviSynth, but I know I did something wrong.

Is there anyway I can fix this?

Create a .avs

Let's assume you saved it as RGB32 (which I believe is the default for "uncompressed AVI" settings in most video editing programs). That means that the computer has to save 32 bits (= 4 bytes) of data for each pixel. Assuming you exported at the standard 720x480 resolution, that's 4 * 720 * 480 = 1,382,400 bytes = 1.32 MB for each frame.

Most people (at least here in NTSC-land) edit their AMVs at either 24 or 29.97 frames per second, which would give an average of either 31.64 MB or 39.51 MB per second. Now do you see why they're so big?

And this is exactly why we use lossless codecs such as HuffYUV or Lagarith.

Damn, I probably could have never figured that tech stuff out lol. Thank you, I fixed it, and was able to make a good mp4.

Generally beta's are bugtest versions. Try the highest not beta version available. I don't use it so I can't really help if your still getting the error. PM the creator if your still having problems, maybe he will help ya.

There still isn't a non-beta version of the gui, but the most recent release is this one. It's alpha, though, so it might have even more issues, although others were theoretically fixed.

I know that, but it always worked for tons of other videos. Also 1.0 is the not-beta version, but that only takes avs, which I have no idea how to use AviSynth.

Yeah, I tried that too, I had the same problems.

I hate to be so direct but this is your problem right here even though the gui isn't working like it should. I cannot stress enough how important avisynth is for quality control. You'd be doing yourself a big favor by learning how to use it.

Actually, 1.0 wasn't supposed to be a final, and it actually had a lot of issues, for example the fps issue with computers with an european OS (since we use the , instead of the . for the decimals, it wouldn't work properly with framerates which had decimals, and therefor screwed the a/v sync). That issue got fixed in the 1.1 version, though.
