Out of curiosity, how much space do you have on your HDD?
At my house, 50 Gb's
At my Dad's shop, 140 Gb's

I can't really made alot of money to get a 300 or 500 HDD.

If you can put the VOBs on your PC, you can do what I posted with minimal space. Say you have a 26 episode series. One VOB is about 1GB (rounded down) so that's 26GB. The fake AVS files for one episode is about... 8-11MB.

All you need to remember is to comment out your filters when run them through VFAPIConv when you go to edit. When you want to export the final video. Uncomment your filters and run them though again. Your unfiltered footage in Vegas will be replace with the filtered for high quality output.

50 GBs is MORE than enough. My current project, using clips from 13 episodes of a series, takes up a grand total of 11.3 gigs. As long as you don't convert entire episodes and only the clips that you need, you should be fine.

Read this if you need to know how to use VDubMod to make clips.

I'm using Haibane Renmei.

In any case, 10 GB probably isn't workable, whether you're making clips or editing VOBs through .avs scripts (by the way, thanks for posting that Krisqo, I might use it in the future). Shouldn't be hard to find a cheap 30-40 GB HDD somewhere, though. That's the only solution I can offer, besides deleting crap off your computer that you don't need. You can TRY to make clips, because that takes the least amount of space of the two options presented (provided you know how to do it right), but when all is said and done you'll be cutting it very close.

1. Make sure you have the latest AviSynth version. (2.5.5)

2. Get the latest DGMPGDec package (1.4.5) and extract it to a directory of its own.

3. Go to your Program Files/AviSynth/Plugins directory and delete any MPEG2 decoder filters you have there. (dgdecode.dll, mpeg2dec3.dll etc.)

4. Go to Doom9 downloads page and find a package called VFAPI under Support Utils. Download it and extract it to a folder. In that folder there should now be a file called vifpset.bat. Run it to register the dll. Exclamation

5. Run DGIndex that came with DGMPGDec and create your .d2v file normally.

6. Create your AVS script in Notepad and remember to load the decoding filter.

Code:
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\DGMPGDec 1.4.5\DGDecode.dll")
MPEG2Source("C:\bibleblack.d2v")

Remember that VFAPI upsamples to RGB by default in interlaced mode. If your script outputs progressive footage (e.g. you do IVTC with Telecide + Decimate), put "_P" just before the extension in the filename. This forces progressive upsampling. So for example bibleblack_P.avs.


7. Run VFAPIConv that came with VFAPI. Drag and drop your AVS file on the program window. Click OK, then Convert. After the conversion you should have a small fake AVI file in the same directory as your AVS file.

8. Import the fake AVI to your favourite editing program.
Works for Vegas as well. I've done it so I can vouch.
*reading* :shock: Ok I'm going to try this out thank you!

The best thing... try downloading the new AMVApp3.0Beta. It comes with everything you need. Sorry I forgot to mention that. :oops:

And Sky... it saves a heck of a lot of space and time and helps keep your files organized since you have either a full episode or even DVD as one file (I like to use DVDs to save on MAJOR space) Just be sure you remember to enable and disable the filters as needed.
