Moviestacker alternative that works with avisynth 2.5?
 
Hi I havent been to KVCD for the longest time and I was still using Moviestacker to create my .avs files. Is there a program like Moviestacker that will work with avisynth 2.5 and up that will let me create the optimal scripts needed for a VHS to kdvd conversion?

thanks

Can you remind me what Moviestacker does ? I didn't used it since... 2 years may be more :-).
But I don't think anything ever replaced it. Personally I simply do my scripts manually using Paranioa for the resize part.

Well it just made making the avs file with all the optimal script details real easy. Like you said i havent used moviestacker in about 2 years myself :) I have used Paranoia and its great for setting up the resizing aspect of the avs file, but I have some really old VHS tapes that i want to convert to KDVD and need some video filters here and there and Moviestacker just made it easy. Sadly though Moviestacker only worked with avisynth 2.0x and its a pain to have to uninstall and reinstall both versions. I also use AutoGordianKnot for making xvids which uses Avisynth 2.5x. Its just more of a hassle :)

Actually what you need is to update the script suggested by Moviestacker for VHS to something that works with avs 2.5 ?

There is two solutions :
1/ give us the script and let see what can be done :).
2/ or use that to use 2.0x plugins in avs 2.5.

well...
 
I tried using option number 2 but had lots of problems with it :) I can just give you the basic script from Paranoia. It seems to open up well in Tmpgenc. here it is:

AviSource("C:\2burn\moms2.avi")
BicubicResize(704,480,1./3.,1./3.,0,0,352,480)


This is just a basic old home video at 29 fps and i want to turn it into a KDVD at 704x480 with all the optimal VHS filters.

thanks

What problem did you have with LoadPluginEx.dll ?
Converting VHS ... jeez that's far beyond my memories :-(.
Anyway : don't use KDVD resolution, it's useless. Strick to VCD resolution, the quality will be the same and you will put 14h on a disc. If we manage to provide you a decent script :).

As I said, What is the 2.0 script that you want to use ? Changing all the filters by some available in 2.5 should not be a problem.

well..
 
basically just the optimal vhs script here

unfilter(50,50)
GripCrop( X, Y )
GripSize(resizer="BicubicResize")
STMedianFilter(8, 32, 0, 0, 8, 32)
FaeryDust() # or PixieDust()
mergechroma(blur(1.50))
mergeluma(blur(0.2))
# Convolution3d or DCTFilter for extreme worse cases.
GripBorders()

mind you without the gripborder or the grip anything :)

You should try the basic but efficient :
Code:

AviSource("C:\2burn\moms2.avi")
BicubicResize(704,480,1./3.,1./3.,0,0,352,480)
LanczosResize(704,480,0,0,352,480)

LimitedSharpenFaster()
LRemoveDust_YV12(17,2)

But as I said : you should better NOT use 704x480. 352x240 is far enought. You may try if your player supports not standard 352x480.

thanks...
 
thank you but im getting the ol script error in line 5 deal... saying doesnt have command for limitedsharp and the other one :)

That's normal ;-).
Pick up my plugin directory there and take all filters you need (or take them all that will be easier ;-)) :

almost :)
 
Thanks for the plugins unfortunately im getting one more error that says this:

repair only color spaces are supported
(e line 8 )
C 2burn\newsscript.avs line 6

when i took out line 6 everything was fine.. im not sure whats up...

It should have something after "colorspace". YV12 and/or YUY2 I guess.
Your capture is probably RGB. Just add a ConvertToYV12() (or convertToYUY2()) just after the "avisource" line.
