Turtle speed AVS

[madbunny]

I do the same thing in Premiere, and it does work. But his script already has everything commented out except for the deintelacing and the fps change, and it's still slow.

Which means, in other words that you don't get a free lunch. Deal with the laggy scripts, or use the bait and switch method (using small Mjpeg files for example) or render out your stuff.

I use MJpeg at quality 19/20 edit with that, export it as a huffy and filter as needed.

You could always upgrade your machine A dedicated 400 gb hard drive would solve a huge chunk of your speed woes.

What gets me is that only some run slow and others run fine. The one I posted runs like hell and my cuts are usually one frame off; however, this one runs like a champ:

mpeg2source("C:\Documents and Settings\Krisqo\Desktop\AMV Sources\GUNDAM WING ENDLESS WALTZ\endless.d2v",cpu=4,upconv=true)
ConvertToYV12()
#deen("a3d",4,10,12)
#Fastlinedarken()
#msharpen(threshold=5,strength=95)
#tweak(cont=1.0,sat=1.1,bright=1,hue=6)
#ColorYUV(gain_u=17,gain_v=1)
AssumeFPS(29.97)

Almost the same, just no de-interlacing since its a FILM source.

I'll try getting a better HD. I would have thought a 250GB (7500X RPM) one would be fine.

And the bait and switch, is that what is listed as alternative three in the Read <a href=http://www.a-m-v.org/guides/avtech31/>ErMaC & AbsoluteDestiny's Friendly AMV Guides</a>? If so, I don't think I can do it since I have Premiere Pro. Unless there is now a way to do it.

Thanks for all the help so far.

The problem with bait-and-switch in Premiere Pro is that the files must be in the same extension, so you can't switch out your ugly MJPEG to an AVS script, you'd either have to make a dummy AVI of your script or export it into a lossless codec for the switch to work.

And if almost identical scripts run so differently, that leads us to a difference in the sources. Try re-ripping the DVDs for the slow ones.

same extension? i can switch between .avi and .avs with ease. Are you using the AVS premiere plugin?

[Krisqo]

Yeah. I did read about making dummy avis, but when I tried to import my .AVS files into VFAPIConv, it will only find my .D2V files. I tried to open the d2v files in it, but it says it is invalid. This route would probibly be the better option, but I just can't get it to work.

Krisqo: Try MakeAVIS instead. It comes with ffdshow.

Purge: I use amvapp's Premiere AVS Plugin, and it worked with Pemiere 7, but not with Pro. Pro only lets me bait-and-switch files with the same resolution, framerate (which it should, in both cases) and extension.

oh okay, are you talking about the new one, pro 2.0

1.5

You need DGVfapi to read avs files. You might still have problems though, as there some functions / operations it simply doesn't like. In the end I got MakeAVIS working with the problem script, so I recommend that. Tutorials here (EADFAG) and here (Scintilla's WMM2 guide), both useful and both containing slightly different information. I've found that Magix requires the output to be forced RGB24 regardless of what conversions are in the script, but since I'm working with a sample of one you can take that with a pinch of salt.

[Krisqo]

Actually, I have 7.0. I'll track down make MakeAVIS on my PC and play with it. I'll post any problems as they arise. Again, thanks for the help.
