h264 mkv?

[Rapture**]

Instead of adding to more chaos on the board, I'd just like to know why my file (which I believe is this type) will not open in virtualdubmod, I have the avisynth file and have been setting it to DirectShowSource() but I feel like im missing something... I don't put the file extension in the ( ... ) do I? I remember doing this a while back... but can't recall how I did it. Another one of my MKVs opens perfectly into it... however. [1280x720 h264+AAC D-MX] That is part of the file name, so i'm really confused, any help would be appreciated.

Once I just get these files loaded, I promise I won't bother anyone else and i'll just go work on the AMV, i'm just stuck on this part.

post your script.

Try disabling Haali splitters and Nero AAC encoder.

KillAudio()
DirectShowSource("C:\Applications\Anime single videos\Zero No Tsukaima Season 2\RAWs\[TV-Japan] Zero no Tsukaima -Futatsuki no Kishi- 01 RAW [1280x720 h264+AAC D-MX].mkv")
(open with avisynth, set to directshowsource)

I know it's downloaded, but I'm not concerned since I wont be entering/probably just submitting it here for fun but more something to do in my free time.

I just get script error. I'm missing something huge, re-read but couldn't pinpoint.

Put KillAudio() on a new line, after DirectShowSource (or, use DirectShowSource's audio=false parameter - it does have that, right?). You're telling it to kill the audio in something that it hasn't loaded if that order is the way it is in the script. Apparently there have also been reports that spaces in the pathnames sometimes cause problems. You can take out the absolute path if the script is in the same directory as the video. Also, take note of my post here about FFmpegSource being a better option due to frame-accuracy.

Thanks for the advice, I know for a while I had a folder directly under the C:/ drive called AMV (it never got off the ground then, should this time though) but right now

I have it all in the C:\ section.

the first one renamed
ZNK.mkv
ZNK.avs (with---
DirectShowSource()
KillAudio()
----)

Avisynth open failure:
Evaluate: Unrecognized Exception!
(C:\ZNT--default.avs, line 2)

I'm sorry I just can't understand why my other MKV file works perfectly fine when I try and open it with Avisynth and this one doesnt.

I might know where your problem is.

Have you tried to insert 'fps' parameter? I remember that I had this AviSynth version that didn't require fps parameter,but it does requires it now,after I installed AMVApp 3.0.

Here,try this if your footage is downloaded :

DirectShowSource("C:\Applications\Anime single videos\Zero No Tsukaima Season 2\RAWs\[TV-Japan] Zero no Tsukaima -Futatsuki no Kishi- 01 RAW [1280x720 h264+AAC D-MX].mkv", fps=23.976, audio=false)

What I meant when I said that you don't need absolute paths if all are in the same directory is this. Instead of

Code: Select all

FFmpegSource("C:\Whatever\Yadda Yadda Yadda\video.mkv",atrack=-1)

you then have this:

Code: Select all

FFmpegSource("video.mkv",atrack=-1)

(the atrack=-1 parameter simply is what tells FFmpegSource to retrieve the audio as well; by default it doesn't load audio)

Copy/Pasted in to brand new .avs file, ran and ended with same results.

I think the MKV just needs converted or it has something encrypted that just makes it hate everything, I have tried these codes with another MKV I have and all have worked fine as well as opening the mkv normally with "open video file".

I see what you mean, the avisynth files find the file name if its in the folder but need direct paths if not there. Thats why I renamed ZNT.mkv to my C:\ and created an avisynth there to try, but still no luck.

Thank you for trying, if you have any more less likely idea's i'll give em a shot otherwise i'll probably research the DVD sets from those sites and rip them the right way. it is a great series...

I can't edit my previous post...

I tried using an MKV to AVI converter just to see the outcome (or the trial of it)

It said "can't open, need proper decoders.
or, your file is corrupt"
