How to convert MP4's with the new AMVapp 3.0 beta

[Mister Hatt]

Can you post your FULL avisynth script already? You're complaining about FFMS2 not working yet your screenshot clearly says DirectShitSource().

[Daniel_BMS]

Code: Select all

audiodub(ffvideosource("G:\ddrsbm_mybaby.mp4"),directshowsource("G:\ddrsbm_mybaby.mp4"))

Same 1 that was given to me in this thread.

It's not working because DirectShowSource is still in there. As the name implies, DSS uses DirectShow to decode the files. If you don't have Haali's Media Splitter and a usable H.264 decoder (such as ffdshow, CoreAVC, or DivX 7) installed, you're SOL for using DirectShowSource, and it will error out every single time. That has nothing to do with FFMS2 working, though.

[Mister Hatt]

We've been continually telling him to use FFMS2 though. Also, ffdshow isn't a decoder, libavcodec is what does it for ffdshow by default.

[Qyot27]

I know libavcodec is the decoder (and true of ffdshow, FFmpegSource, VLC, and mplayer, and practically anything else that gets built against ffmpeg), but they're going to recognize 'ffdshow', whether they know that's incorrect or not.

My point was that the reason the script isn't working is because he isn't removing the DSS invocation, so even if FFMS2 is working fine, DSS is fucking it up. One wrong move in the script and the entire thing burns, but he's blaming it on the wrong part. The only two solutions are either A) take out the non-working bit, or B) make it stop throwing errors by installing the correct splitting and decoding filters.

[Daniel_BMS]

OK then how should my script look then? I made a few guesses, but all I got was an access violation error message.

[mirkosp]

Code: Select all

audiodub(ffvideosource("G:\ddrsbm_mybaby.mp4"),ffaudiosource("G:\ddrsbm_mybaby.mp4"))

if it still gives errors for whatever reason, then do just

Code: Select all

ffvideosource("G:\ddrsbm_mybaby.mp4")

and deal with the audio in some other way.

[Mister Hatt]

Audio in avisynth gives you cancer and sometimes aids.

[Daniel_BMS]

Finally got a chance to try it. ffvideosource with ffaudiosource didn't work, but just ffvideosource works OK. Looks like I will stick with DVD Copy 6 for now. Thanks mirkosp though. I have saved the code for future reference.
