Best settings to save an AVI in VirtualDub filtered from Avisynth?
Hello,
I would like some advice on what settings I should be using to save my file as a lossless avi in virtualdub so that I can apply certain filters to adjust the color and brightness only in vdub and then save it for possible further editing in another nle. Right now I have a working folder that has my source capture and my avisynth script and the audio wav. Can I just apply the filters when I "open video" and THEN save as .avi once I have applied all of my vdub filters? The capture is lagarith yuy2 avi file. This is a vhs to dvd restore and also a separate upload to YouTube. Thanks |
Before saving you must pick the compression codec indeed otherwise it'll be uncompressed (massive file).
Also pick the color depth wisely, generally YV12 4.2.0 in and out but you want YUY2 so.. If you don't want to use filters, say open an .avs script and compress in avi pick the fast recompress mode. For processing with the filters it's always full processing. |

Lol. Sorry. I wanted some advice on workflow steps to preparing an avi that I just ran through avisynth filters.
For instance, I'm assuming, the next step is to "run it through" virtual dub and apply color and brightness filters (which I do need to apply in this instance). From there, I want to save that and place it into my actual video editing software. Then, I want to use avstodvd to author and burn. Mind you, keeping it lossless as much as possible. Is that a clearer question? |
you can do better than saving to avi and importing to a nle
You can put your filters in an avs script, example for an interlaced source: Code:
pointresize(last.width, last.height*2).ConverttoRGB32(matrix="rec601",interlaced=true).pointresize(last.width, last.height) Then with a little tool called avs2avi you can create a fake avi (really small) and your NLE software should accept it (Vegas does i know) So basically, the workflow to follow: - Tweak your videos with vdub - import your filters in an avs script (to save multiple YCrCb<> RGB convertions) - Avoid 1 compression step by creating a fake avi and import to NLE QED ;) |

Although, note that VirtualDub filters can be run in Avisynth! Few know this. :wink2: Cookies? I like chocolate chip the best. :P I rarely give advice without seeing samples anymore. |
