is there any way to use avs script for MPEG-1 sources?

by the way, directsource() does not work...

it just stops...



the source I have is VCD MPEG-1

any ideas?

DirectShowSource

Try to use DVD2AVI : add your MPEG1 file like you would have done for a Vob and save the d2v file.

dvd2avi doesn't work...unfortunately

it reads the file...(well..not really...) and I can't save it

to the .d2v file

directshowsource() doesn't work either

it gives me this..'video decync!' msg...

any ideas?

OPen it under tmpgenc and save it in avi using the codec huffyuv (menu "file", output to file -> select avi).

You will need 4 GB / hour of video on your HD. But it's the only solution for you. (huffyuv codec is lossless, so don't worry).

I'm not 100% sure but Nic's MPEGDecoder might be able to load the MPEG-1 source. See the Doom9 forum, the filter's buried somewhere over there.

excuse limpby, maybe a stup question:

why and for what do you want to use avs script for MPEG-1 sources?

what is your target?

Nic's MPEGdecoder first create a d2v file, so if DVD2AVI can't handle this file...
By the way this decoder is completly bugged with MPEG1 source and nothing told in the documentation can solved tghe problem : it never gives the correct frame number

well...4gb...thats....big...

neways....

the reason is..I downloaded the vcd file...

but its 2cds...

and I wanted to change it to 2cd kvcd...

oh.....that's the reason...

Here is a simple way to do it: it is very fast and you can have both audio and video together.
The best is RANDOM seeking is possible.

Please d/l m2v_vfp from http://www.marumo.ne.jp/mpeg2/m2v_vfp-0.6.38.lzh
then use Winrar to unpack it to e.g c:\m2v.

Make sure m2v.vfp and m2vconf.exe are there.
Run m2vconf.exe for your configuration.

Then use the following avs scripts to get the mpg1/mpg2 video into avisynth.

LoadVFAPIPlugin("C:\m2v\m2v.vfp", "M2VVFP")
M2VVFP("D:\mpegfiles\Mympg.mpg")
FlipVertical()
#continue after this

However, TmpgEnc at times gives error messages half way.
So the best way is to load the avs file into VirtualDub
and then frameserve to TmpgEnc.

That's weird because I did this last week using DVD2AVI 1.76 and everything was correct.
I reaaly don't know why DVD2AVI does not work everytime (that was the first time I manage to use it for MPEG1 !).

Whats the number of your DVD2AVI version??

Cause, as DialHot said, ... it works fine ... for me too!

I've tried dvd2avi v1.76, 1.77.3 and 1.77.4 and neither of them will open my mpeg-1 source (Which is VCD compliant). Well they open it but the Video tab is greyed out so it won't preview the file no save a project file. I'm also having the same problem where DirectShowSource does absolutely nothing except cause tmpgenc to quit when I Try to load my avs file. I then thought I was smart and demultiplexed my file, but again I can't load my m1v file using directshowsource. I also tried to open the m1v file in all versions of dvd2avi. This time it did open the video file, but it came out as a green square and when I tried to preview it by pressing F5 the progam quit. So I might have to try that huffyv codec thingamabob, but there must be an easier way!!!!

That's why I said I manage to do this only once. I really never found the reason

Unfortunally there isn't. Even frameserve from vdub doesn't work as it always lead to audio desynch problems.
