problems with importing MKV into Vdub mod

Ryko89 · Post by **Ryko89** » Thu Feb 21, 2008 5:38 pm

So, I have gotten myself a brand new macbook pro on which I installed windows. I installed the amvapp 3.0 beta and downloaded lots of GITS in HD. and when I import the .mkv file into vdb mod, it wont work. the episodes: Ghost_in_the_Shell_Stand_Alone_Complex_2nd_GIG_Ep13_POKER_FACE_[720p,HDTV,x264,AAC_5.1]_-_THORA.mkv
are in x264, and I thought that was covered with the amvapp. So, can anyone help me with making this work?

Make an avisynth script with:

Code: Select all

directshowsource("E:\yourfilepath\yourfilename.mkv", fps=29.97, convertfps=true)

and import that script into vdubmod.
It should work.

Code: Select all

directshowsource("E:\Anime3\Ghost_in_the_Shell_2_Innocence_(2004)_[720p,BluRay,DTS-ES,x264]_-_THORA\Ghost_in_the_Shell_2_Innocence_(2004)_[720p,BluRay,DTS-ES,x264]_-_THORA.mkv", fps=29.97, convertfps=true)

Code: Select all

DirectShowSource("E:\Anime3\Ghost_in_the_Shell_2_Innocence_(2004)_[720p,BluRay,DTS-ES,x264]_-_THORA\Ghost_in_the_Shell_2_Innocence_(2004)_[720p,BluRay,DTS-ES,x264]_-_THORA.mkv", audio=false, fps=29.97)

there's how that goes. Am I short on codecs or something?

don't use directshowsource

ffmpegsource() is designed to handle h.264 and is frame accurate (which directshowsource is not. Frame accuracy is good)

get ffmpegsource() here

oh yeah, and downladed footage = bad
dvd's are best (if available in your area)

never gotten a hang on these. But hmmm. I tried some and it told me there was no video stream found.

Code: Select all

LoadPlugin("c:\Program Files\Avisynth 2.5\Plugins\FFMpegSource.dll")

ffmpegSource("E:\Anime3\Ghost_in_the_Shell_Stand_Alone_Complex_2nd_GIG_[720p,HDTV,x264,AAC_5.1]_-_THORA\Ghost_in_the_Shell_Stand_Alone_Complex_2nd_GIG_Ep04_INDUCTANCE_[720p,HDTV,x264,AAC_5.1]_-_THORA.mkv")

FFAudioSource("E:\Anime3\Ghost_in_the_Shell_Stand_Alone_Complex_2nd_GIG_[720p,HDTV,x264,AAC_5.1]_-_THORA\Ghost_in_the_Shell_Stand_Alone_Complex_2nd_GIG_Ep04_INDUCTANCE_[720p,HDTV,x264,AAC_5.1]_-_THORA.mkv", atrack=-1)

Do you have fddshow installed?

installed ffdshow when I installed the AmvApp. Think I should give it a reinstall?

Wont help, my only suggestion would be to uninstall fddshow.

Fddshow is evil, I pretty much have a similiar problem right now, neither directshow not ffmpegsource are working right.

Uninstalling fddshow would probbaly fix it, but since I am editing with fake avis made with fddshow's makeavis program, I depend on it and I don't want to mess with it anymore after going through some serious trouble (involving a re-install of windows).

If you don't need fddshow for anything else, i suggest you to remove it.
