Hi All,

Here's a avisynth plugin that's in development, but looks
interesting. It reads mpeg-2 (svcd) and vob's directly, so you can
bypass using DVD2AVI. It speeds up file reads by 20% or more.
I encoded "Aliens the director's copy" which is 2 hrs 35 min. in
9 hrs 40 min. This would normally take 12 to 13 hrs without MPEGDecoder.
There are still problems such as random seeks via Tmpgenc, but
the speed increase is real. I am use to encoding for 6 to 8 hrs using
D2S with CCE 2.5 SP. Maybe MPEGDecoder will improve encoding speeds
for CCE and Tmpgenc. Imagine encoding 4 to 6 hrs with high quality.

Here's the link http://nic.dnsalias.com/MPEGDecoder

Download "MPEGDecoder.zip" and read the doc file included.

Here's a sample avs file using it.

LoadPlugin("SimpleResize.dll")
LoadPlugin("MPEGDecoder")
MPEGSource("E:\Vts_01_1.vob + E:\Vts_01_2.vob + E:\vts_03_1.vob")
SimpleResize(480,432)
AddBorder(0,72,0,72)
ResampleAudio(44000)

Hi All,

Another great toy for all of us to play with

Couple of problems found after testing:

Can't process at 23.976. Detects NTSC VOB source as 29.97, even though it's FILM. So doesn't jump RFF as in a DVD2AVI project.
Sucks the life out of the CPU. You can barely use the machine while encoding.
I'll wait until it's more optimized and with more options.

Hi Kwag,

The developer for MPEGDecoder is Nic a doom9 team member.
He would be interested in what you have found testing MpegDecoder.
