Scripting

[Vax]

avisource("C:\yourblargfolder\yourblargfile.avi")
#deint = TDeint(mode=2, mtnmode=3, blim=100)
#TFM(pp=0, cthresh=4, clip2=deint)
#TDecimate()
#AssumeFPS(24)
#LanczosResize(640,352)
#ConvertToRGB32()

Still no luck.

Sorry for that double post

back from my google-fu meditation

it sounds like your avi file doesn't have a header, and avirepair pops up a lot for this problem.

you'll need an avi file with at least as many frames as your non-working avi file
get gspot, it'l give you all the information you need.

then, make a new avs script with the following line

Code: Select all

blankclip(length=2400,width=720,height=480,fps=24)

replace length with the number of frames gspot tells you
width and height with the width and height gspot tells you
fps with the Frames/s that gspot tells you

all that information is in the right part of the gspot window (just keep looking til you find it)

open that script in vdubmod, and save as. You can then use that "blank" avi file to give your non-working avi file a good header

Explain more?

[Kariudo]

there's not much more to explain

-your avi file isn't working
-the solution to your problem means that you need a good avi file with the same footage properties as your bad one
-gspot tells you your footage properties

What I dont get is If I have an Avi file that isnt working how can I have a good one?

^that's how
you are using avisynth to create a blank clip, and vdubmod to save it as an avi file (which you can then use in that program that fixes avi files, hence you've just created a 'good' avi file)

Its all making sense now
