- - TMPGEnc: Readavs problem (http://www.digitalfaq.com/archives/encode/13556-tmpgenc-readavs-problem.html)

Code:

"AVISource("D:\VVCR Cap\video1.avi",pixel_type="YUY2")", 

output will be YUY2 and then good for CCE.

So guys are we saying that if you are working with captures then you should use the above AviSynth command when using YUY2 colorspace?

Or do you use a new line with 'Converttoyuy2()'

If you encoded your captures with a codec that is YUY2 (let say huffmann), then yes, you should use the pixel_type parameter to be sure that the format won't be converted by the codec used on your PC to render huffman (let say ffdshow).
Using a "ConvertTo" line in such situation lead to a double space color convertion and should not be used.

Thank you Phil for clearing that up for me, now I fully understand the difference. :)

Bringing up a new machine and my memory is about gone. How and where do you load readavs.dll? :roll:

I've loaded dvd2avi and avisynth 2.5

Put readavs.dll on your TMPEG folder :)

Thanks, I must be going brain dead :D

Dont you also have to run a reg file to get the readavs.dll to work?

I had to edit the regfile to the path where I had TMPGEnc stored and then save it and double click it to enter it into the registry.

:?: Where is the regfile located? (Am at work and can't access the computer)

I did check my existing installation last night and I don't have readavs.dll in my tmpgenc directory. It's been so long since I installed it that I've forgotten how! :oops:

This is an import filter for TMPGEnc version 0.11e. It adds support
for Avisynth AVS files and VirtualDub VDR files to TMPGEnc.

To install this filter, you will have to do the following:

1. Unpack the archive to a temporary directory.

2. Move the ReadAVS.dll file to your TMPGEnc directory.

3. Edit the ReadAVS.reg file with a text editor so that the path to
the DLL is correct for your system.

4. Double-click on the ReadAVS.reg file to add its contents to the
registry.

5. Close and restart TMPGEnc if it's running.

Once you've completed the steps above, you can delete the contents of
the temporary directory.

To compile the source code you will need vfapi.h from the VFAPI SDK.
Use the following command to compile under VC6:

cl /MD /LD /Ox ReadAVS.cpp /link /def:ReadAVS.def vfw32.lib /filealign:512

If you have problems, email benrg@math.berkeley.edu.

Take a look where I find out the file!

@nicksteel

download the ReadAVS.zip file that Pro posted and then edit the ReadAVS.reg

Quote:

From the ReadAVS.reg

REGEDIT4

; Replace the path below with the real path to the DLL.
; Be sure to type each backslash twice, as in the example.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VFPlugin]
"Avisynth"="c:\\1flaskmpeg\\TMPGEnc12e\\ReadAVS.dl l"

Edit the line after the "Avisynth"="c:\\ to the path where you have your TMPGEnc stored remembering to use \\ for the path.

Thanks, Guys :D

Feel like a dummy, having used this for several years, now forgetting how I installed it in the first place! :oops:

Don't worry your not alone Karl, I think its catching, I think im going brain dead also. :D

The other day I wanted to run some tests on CQMatic as I wanted to test the new prediction of CQMatic and I almost forgot how TMPGEnc works, its been so long since I used it.

I forgot it was the reverse of CCE in terms of the value in OPV prediction, I forgot the higher the CQ the better the quality was. :oops:
:douh:

Your welcome, im glad I could help out. :)

Good luck with the new PC, im jealous I think I will have to upgrade soon. :D

It could be a posibility that you send me your old PC?

The wife has already claimed it. It is a P4 pretty loaded up (with a Sun 21" CAD monitor), so a bit beyond her needs in roaming the internet, but a good excuse for me getting the new one! :D

The new one appears to be utilizing the dual cores with the Windows XP Home OS so I don't know if I need to load Windows XP Pro or not. It is a stand alone machine.
