Boulder, I do think you used the "Open Regular avi-file" Import option? As you can see above, if I do set PARanoia to your Cap.Card environment and want to have a 704 output, it even doesnt crop the height and scales to 704 (kkeping AR) but just padds from 696 to 704 and keping the height in case of 696 sources which is the correct way. So I do think theres a Problem in the MCI API decoding routine in case of your source, MCI Playback uses vfw and surely PICVideo comes with vfw decoding support. Do you also let PicVideo decode your mjpeg's? What happens if FFdshow does decode them, ... same Output in PARanoia? No matter if FFdshow is the en or decoder for mjpeg or PicVideo or even mixing .... in my cases the output and Framecount is ok. |

Seems something is odd in your "PicVideo mjpeg" decoding routines, which PicVideo Vers. do you use? I still got the vesion before the first 3.x release, so Im still at 2.x as I dont like their updated C.Space output rgarding avisynth where I would always had to use the Pixel_Type="YUY2" option in Avisource() :x Did you try latest FFdshow mjpeg encoding option when capturing? (then you also should let FFdshow do the mjpeg decoding) It beats all others as testet in a comparison by Ligh at Gleitz: http://forum.gleitz.info/showthread.php?t=24071 (Its german but as germany more and more do use english verbs *lol* But anyhow .. here's Babelfish's output: http://world.altavista.com/babelfish...hp%3Ft%3D24071 |
I've used PicVideo v3 but I'll try ffdshow's MJPEG the next time I capture stuff. That comparison should have been posted at the English D9 as well as I'm sure it would interest a lot of people there. The bad thing about ffdshow's MJPEG is that it's slower than PicVideo. My scripts are already slow enough due to LTSMC :wink:
|
Slower? Really? In my case almost 1:1 (maybe again a cpu instruction set related issue ;) ).
Yep, so much new stuff has been born in the scripting sector duing the last month's/weeks ... Id really like to try out these too ... but the magic word is "time" :( :) |
Oh, I probably misread a bit. The performance LigH states the encoding time, not decoding. Nevertheless, I'll give it a go next time. Actually I've been waiting for a good quality competitor but have been a bit afraid to use ffdshow's MJPEG for the reason that I apparently need DirectshowSource (or do I?) to decode it.
|
As Avisynth uses vfw when using avisource() you have to enable the mjpeg decoding in the vfw part of FFdshow. Also do disable PicVideo in its dialogue so FFdshow is forced to decode mjpeg from there on.
|
OK, I'll try that. I actually thought that ffdshow supports VfW encoding only.

@incredible,
I found a problem in the information display of PARAnoia. If I use a non-standard resolution avi (like I tried to use a capture avi of my camera phone) which is very small. The info displayed on screen is cut, I could only see the Source information, most of the target information was cut due to the small Screen area of the video. I guess the same would be for if you pick up a trailor video for lets say Star wars, since they also use small resolutions. Is it possible for you to extend the Information display beyond the video display screen area ?????. |
The source/target info box is already shown using a very small typo, so I guess I cant reduce its size. But that infobox is just a "bonbon", so the main importand values can be seen in the gadgets on the left side.
In your case just switch the onscreen info off. I do think trailors in mini resolutions arent purposed to be resized to high resolutions - these are just for PC watching purposes, ... but anyhow if you want, just switch the box off. :wink: |

What is suppose to happen when you press "Preview AVS script"?
When I press it; a window opens kind of transparent, and then nothing else happens... Are you supposed to have a player installed, that will play the AVS script or is it something internally? -Anerboda |

Anerboda,
the "preview" (means the avisynth script button itself) only works if a source is loaded and by that automatically a calculation internally has been made. So the "preview" Button in the avs section does show the resulted avs script using windows API for Playback. It seems that the MCI API sometimes does take 1-3 sec. till the preview starts. What system do you use? Win98?, Win2000?, WinXP (SP1?, SP2?) |
@Inc
I'm on win XP SP2... I just tried again and waited 2 minuts, and nothing happens exept the transparent window, and then it just quit and close...? -Anerboda |
What happens if you "save script" and open that saved script in Vdub i.E. ?
|
Quote:
Vdub ver 1.6.3 -Anerboda |
A few Q's Anerboda ....
a) What type of colorspace is given out of the resulting avs: YUY2, YV12, RGB? (check it by applying info() at the end of the script in the scriptwindow) b) Which codec is used in your system to decode "that" avs script resulting bitstream-Colorspace? c) Of what kind of source youre talking about: d2v, avi, captured avi? Thanks @ All Someone else suffers from that issue? |

If it's under fileinformation i Vdub, it says the decompressor is "ffvfw MPEG-4 codec". What would be the optimal decoder for this? Quote:
-Anerboda |
ffvfw MPEG-4?
You should try to make XviD your YV12 main decoder. Try to uninstall FFdshow and (re)install XviD. Now see if you still run into problems. I quit using FFdshow because of some issues just as the one you are complaining but with other tools instead of PARanoia. Cheers |

No, Rui is almost right.
Do install BESIDE FFdshow xvid, and do set in FFdshows dshow and vfw codec sections "RAW" at off. This forces XVID to be the one to handle RAW YV12 Bitstreams. Cause if its set to true, the yv12 RAW output of the mpeg2 decoder again will be "filtered". You also can avoid that by changing in the options how many ffdshow filter instances in the system chain are allowed to be called. I always do set it to one filter call. |
I uninstalled ffvfw, and that did the trick.
In Vdub it says it is using xvid for decompressing, and the preview in PARanoia is now working. Thanks a lot. :) What would be the benefits of having ffdshow installed? I did a major cleanup of codec packs a while ago and I don't want to have anything installed I don't need... The cleanup was a nightmare, and I had to clean the registry a few times to remove them all. I don't even know if I got them all out. I was only a couple of minutes from a clean install, but right now it looks ok... -Anerboda |
Only three things u need to install manually to your system:
1. Xvid (for XVID and RAW YV12 decoding) http://www.koepi.org/xvid.shtml 2. FFdshow for the rest (set to NO RAW decoding) http://www.afterdawn.com/software/vi...rs/ffdshow.cfm 3. Haali Media Splitter (for mp4, mkv and btw. avi also) http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/ And if needed ... 4. VSfilter for Subs playback (mp4, mkv) http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=589 In regular, Haali Mediasplitter and FFdshows "embedded" subtitle option enabled are enough. I use these on my HTPC and all works nice. For shure, if installing WinDVD or NeroDigital etc. ... these also do install/register "their" splittes and decoders, so watch out! ;) Quote:
Also advanced filtering while playback is a nice bonbon. |

go into the codec support section of ffdshow, very low is "RAW" and here do uncheck, also in the FFvfv codec support section
|
Quote:
I don't found FFvfv section. http://www.digitalfaq.com/archives/i...2005/10/10.png So hard is for you post a pic? |
Look under "Programs", "ffdshow" and there the vfw configuration appliktion

Boulder,
what happened to your mjpeg importing issue? Solved? I made some tests using diff. encoders and decoders used. I kept my eye on proper playback and framecount info: Code:
captured: Picvideo 2.10 mjpeg ---> Decoding: PicVideo 2.10 Thanx :) |
The image (clip encoded with ffdshow mjpeg) shows in correct size but the framecount is still wrong. The build is from 13.10.2005, built by CelticDruid.
|
Means you did also let ffdshow mjpeg decoder decode your picVideo streams before?
Means on ONLY mjpeg-avis no matter if decoded by ffdshow or PicVideo or ALSO other types of encoded avis (xvid,3vix, Huffy etc)? |

The ffdshow stream (decoded with ffdshow) shows a correct image but the framecount is still wrong. Quote:

Hmmmmmm... maybe then a XP issue?! Im on Win2000.
I dont know if there has been a significant change in the vfw API since XP. |
New release, watch the changelog :)

OT When you post an update, could you add the link to the program thread. It wouldn't be so hard for you and would be useful for us. Tip: When you post your program thread update, before come here and post the new, copy the link or your first post from the little image on its left top: "http://www.digitalfaq.com/archives/error.gif Posted: Sun 06 Nov, 2005 3:17 am Post subject:" END OT |
Did I catch something wrong?
The Link in the main Appl. Thread is also updated in the same minute I do post the announcement in here. @Generall Probably tomorrow I'll release a Version where MUCH more sources are supported, like ... mp4, mkv, wmv. |
Get some sleep Andrej :lol:
Great work :cool: -kwag |
