directshowsource and CCE
 

Hey all. I just upgraded to avisynth 2.53 and was eager to try out the improvements in directshowsource(). Primarily, I was interested in using it to open MPEG-1 files. I found that this line worked perfectly with Tmpgenc, but with CCE it just hangs. My script was a simple one which included DirectShowSource("source_file_path") only, and if I try to load my avs script in CCE, the program just quits after a bit of thinking. Same thing happens when I load AVI files with directshowsource and load my script in CCE. Can anyone else confirm this problem? Does anyone know a workaround? Thanks.

Hello J-Wo,

Some time ago I tried DirectShowSource with CCE, and it also didn't work...

what version of CCE are you working with ???

Well Vmesquita is the CCE crack in here .... ;-)

... But as I remember ..... could just adding a "ConverttoYUY2()" at the end of the script solve the problem :?: Just a thought.

I'm using CCE 2.67.00.11. And no, adding ConvertToYUY2() did not work.

use
converttorgb24()
or
converttorgb32()

in the end of script!
:wink:

Thanks for the suggestion jorel but neither worked. I suspect it has something to do with DirectShowSource also sending audio information to CCE, which for whatever reason CCE can't seem to handle. The same thing happens when I use AviSource without the "false" argument at the end to remove the audio info. Any thoughts/suggestions?

Try to use DirectShowSource("***.mpg", false)
:roll:

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already tried that. The 'false' argument is not a valid one for the DirectShowSource command.

can you play this .avs file with media player ???

i say so because if there is a script error in your avs
CCE just quits !!!

oh yes, the avs file plays fine in virtualdub, media player, zoomplayer, as well as tmpgenc. It is only CCE which doesn't accept it. All my script contains is:I'm trying to load VCD files into CCE, but the same problem happens with avi sources and the directshowsource command. I have no problems using MpegSource (from mpegdecoder.dll) to load .mpg files into CCE, but for some reason I can't combine this with the trim() function. So I'd really like to figure out how to get it to work with CCE

this last one and i give up

try the fps parameter
DirectShowSource(string filename, int fps, bool "seek")

J-Wo,
i'm reading the cce pdf manual and after this,
i found the homepage with "overview"...
http://www.cinemacraft.com/eng/ccesp.html
Input file format:
AVI (1.0/2.0)
QuickTime
DV
Still image sequence (BMP/JPEG/TGA/TIFF)

:arrow: cce can't open mpgs :!:

8O

may not be any use but you can open mpeg1 (vcd) with cce just use vdub to open the mpeg then set your resize filter and any other u want to use, then start frameserving rember to add the .vdr extension to the filename (very important)next u can either create script with the source as

AVISource("Your Frameserver File.vdr")
or use the vfpai conveter to create a dummy avi for the vdr simple eh?

right glent2k3,
after read a little more in the cce manual i found:
input formats...avi files...
" frameserver (avisynth,virtualdub) "

J-Wo, pm to me your mail and i send the cce pdf manual for you!
:wink:

k ive got t the
DirectShowSource(" ") script working with cce 2.66.0107
and avisnth version 2.52 version 2.08 would hanf i am now testing 2.53 or latest i also could nto get gripfit ot other filters to load wiht this script even in movie stacker etc
for surce ia m using a 20 min ntsc mpeg1 vcd at 352x240 speeds of encoding are so dam fast even with the kdvd template , if a can get a resize filter to work ill be happy 8O

I didn't see this mentioned yet- add KillAudio() to script to send vid stream only to CCE.

good luck

well i tried everyhting i can the most stabel way i can get cce to acpet mpeg 1 vcd files is using the following script i am not sure what the speed would be like to resize to higher ess like 704x576 etc .my sources are 352x240 ntsc mpegs when i add lines such as gripfit cce will not load my script maybe there is another filter to resize or a different version? anyway here it is


LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\MPEGDecoder.dll")

DirectShowSource("C:\yoursourcename.mpg")
KillAudio()
ive got a screenshot of cce encoding at 8x speed using the above which i think is damn fast can some host this pic for me? i find this useful for script to get my vcd onto dvd and get as mucha s possible using the kvcd templates thanks KWAG!

edit by the way i am a newbie so if i wrong plz correct me im just learning !
