If you have enough disk space, use the HuffYUV (Huffy) CODEC.

I used the Huffy CODEC with this scipt:

#================================================= ====#
# -= AviSynth script by MovieStacker v2.0.0 (beta) =- #
#================================================= ====#

LoadPlugin("G:\PROGRAM FILES\MOVIESTACKER\Filters\MPEG2Dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("G:\PROGRAM FILES\MOVIESTACKER\Filters\TemporalCleanerOld.dll" )
LoadPlugin("G:\PROGRAM FILES\MOVIESTACKER\Filters\GripFit_preview.dll")
LoadPlugin("G:\PROGRAM FILES\MOVIESTACKER\Filters\BlockBuster.dll")
LoadPlugin("G:\PROGRAM FILES\MOVIESTACKER\Filters\DustV5.dll")
LoadPlugin("G:\PROGRAM FILES\MOVIESTACKER\Filters\LegalClip.dll")

AviSource("G:\AVI Stuff\Files\Movie\try.avi")
LegalClip()
GripCrop(528, 480, overscan=2, source_anamorphic=false)
GripSize(resizer="BilinearResize")
SpaceDust()
TemporalCleaner(5, 10)
BlockBuster(method="noise")
GripBorders()
LegalClip()

And i dont have sampler(length=24) in my script and its still giving me this error:

Sampler: samples must be>=2
(G:\AVISTU~1\VIDEO.avs, line 24)

Sorry if im getting annoying with all of this but i have no idea what to do.

Can you open the avi on WMP and play it

Yeah, but it goes kind of choppy.

Maybe your file is too short. Are you using Tok?

diablov90street · #7 06-20-2003, 01:21 PM

Yeah im using Tok.

Then maybe your video is too short to do prediction. I think it is buit-in in Sampler.dll. Try with a fixed cq value in ToK or enter a higher value in "Samples/Minute". Is it working now?

Ill try it with a longer movie compressed with Huffy.

diablov90street · #10 06-25-2003, 11:15 PM

I tried it with a longer movie and it still doesn't work, its still giving me the sampler error. And the video is about 2 min. long.

diablov90street · #11 06-25-2003, 11:38 PM

One more thing, I tried it with acp, and it doesn't give me an error, but it does go really slow. 35 min. for a 2 min. avi.

A 2 min.

Video is too short to make a sampler...
You could try to increase Samples/Minute in ToK but why do you want to make a predicition for a 2 min-video

diablov90street · #13 06-26-2003, 09:50 AM

Because I wanna make a test to see how it looks. How long should i make my movie for a test that works?

Ypu can have a 2 min video for a test but don't bother with a size prediction !

Do an encode with fixed CQ value (CQ=70 for instance).

I have another question, is there any way the I can downsize my fps from 29.97fps to 23.976fps
