Whats wrong with my Avisynth script?

So basically my setups is as follows;
AMD Ryzen 7 1700x 8 core 16 threads
16GB Ram
Radeon RX550 Series
Windows 10 64 bit
Avisynth+ latest version as of yesterday and AVSPmod

My issue is I'm working on my script in AVSPMod and it previews fine in AVSMod. However, when I run the below CMD Prompt command, it loads for about 10 seconds then disappears. If I drag the .avs file into Virtualdub and try to save as an .avi there, it also crashes. Is there something wrong with my script or is there a better way for me to save to Huffyuv that what I am current doing?

Update: I have tried with my source as an .avi file and it seems to work now. So what would I change in order to edit a ripped .mpg from DVD?

Command prompt line (through.bat file)
Code:
ffmpeg -i "dbz.avs" -c:v prores -profile:v 3 -pix_fmt yuv422p10le -c:a pcm_s16le "dbzfinal.mov"
Avisynth Script
Code:
SetFilterMTMode("QTGMC", 2)
FFmpegSource2("dbz.raw.mpg", atrack=-1)
ConverttoYV12()
AssumeTFF()
QTGMC(Preset="Slower", Edithreads=7)

Can an LG DR4912V really outdo the big boys for VHS transfers?

I'm going the hardware route for my VHS transfers and have used various high-end Panny and Sony decks thus far. I only master in XP mode. I'm now hearing about the LSI chipset unique to the LG models which gives them a noticeable edge over the like of Panasonic, Sony etc. Can anyone corroborate this?

Ezcap 1080p HD Video Capture Device not saving to 1Tb Wd easy store hd

Hi folks, new the forum with a question I just can't find the answer to on the net. I have an Ezcap 1080p Hd Video capture Device model 2803201905 from amazon. I have been using it with a older 500gb USB hard drive with out any problems. I bought a Western Digital easy store 1TB 3.0 USB drive that works just fine on my PC, but not with the capture device. Everything hooks up fine, all light come on, including the red record light. The problem is, when I'm finished and hook the drive up to my PC the files had not been written to the drive. The only thing different in the configuration that I have been using is the new 1TB hard drive. The only thing I can think of is that the capture device may have a hard drive size limitation and will not write to a 1TB hard drive or possibly because the drive is usb 3.0. Does anyone know if this is true, or what else it can be.

Hi all,

I have an E-AC-3 file and I need to add a couple of seconds of silence at the beginning of it - is this possible? From what I can see there are no E-AC-3 encoders. If not what would you suggest I do to achieve this with maximum quality? Unfortunately with this project I can't alter the video length.

This is the file info:

Audio
Format : E-AC-3
Format/Info : Enhanced AC-3
Commercial name : Dolby Digital Plus
Duration : 1 h 59 min
Bit rate mode : Constant
Bit rate : 640 kb/s
Channel(s) : 6 channels
Channel layout : L R C LFE Ls Rs
Sampling rate : 48.0 kHz

Many thanks

Outsourcing VHS digitization: Costs?

What are the current costs to send VHS tapes out by mail and have them captured and digitized? U.S.-based shops with proven track record would be preferred.

I'm looking at 10-15 VHS tapes, a mix of NTSC, PAL, and SECAM, recorded at various speeds (no idea which tapes were recorded at which TV standards and which speeds).

Targeted format is:
- lossless video (FFV1 is pretty good from what I've read?)
- Perhaps FLAC audio (to save space over PCM)
- MKV container
- I assume NTSC and PAL tapes would be captured at their respective standard resolutions, is that correct?

I want the absolute best VHS players and capture hardware to be used. How much would this job cost, per hour of video?

Question regarding a 3D Blu-ray title(s)...

August 18, 2019, 10:17 am

(Sorry about this being so long, but I couldn't make it any shorter and still have all the pertinent details which may help someone come up with the answers and a solution for my dilemma...and OOPS...just noticed there's a Blu-ray Ripping forum I missed, so move this thread there please)

I have a copy of the BD release of Jaws 3D, and it does contain the 3D version...as an extra, no less.

I want to rip the 3D version to an anaglyph format (which I've done with several Blu-ray 3D titles) because I don't have a 3D tv (yet, anyway). I usually use DVD Fab to rip an anaglyph MKV, and usually by loading a disc or disc folder it detects what is usually the SSIF folder which (usually) contains the needed files to play a disc in 3D (on a 3D tv of course).

Both Google and the forums on Blu-ray.com have proven fruitless as to determine what 3D process was used on the Jaws 3D disc. There is no SSIF folder...yet in PowerDVD I can play a Blu-ray 3D disc and my PowerDVD settings are set to play such a title in anaglyph format. Jaws 3D does play in it beautifully (in actual 3D and not the faux 3D PowerDVD is capable of).

Does anyone know how Universal encoded the 3D info onto this disc, and how can I rip it to anaglyph format?

DVD Fab locates and recognizes the movie, and detects no less than 3 different playlists (related to only one video file) for the same main movie...but it only recognizes it as 2D. Usually, when I rip a BD 3D disc, DVD Fab indicates a title is not only 3D but it usually notes the correlated SSIF file for the 3D version. BD Rebuilder does recognize the movie as 3D, but every attempt to rip it fails. "Failed video encode, aborted" is all that happens in BD Rebuilder. Rebuilder also indicates two "3D" VID titles...one of which is only 3.01 mb.

Again...how did Universal encode the 3D info on this, and how can I rip the 3D version to anaglyph?

Other Universal Blu-ray 3D titles I have which do have the SSIF folders are Creature From the Black Lagoon (an actual retail disc I bought), and It Came From Outer Space (a download I burned...although that one was compressed to a BD25...which is the only blank BD format I can work with).

NOTE that my Jaws 3D disc has also been shrunk to a BD25. Still, it doesn't have the conventional SSIF folder and files.

Also checked another Universal title I have, Paranorman, which is/was also a BD 3D disc (the top menu gives the choice between 2d and 3D viewing), and it also plays in PowerDVD in actual 3d anaglyph (including 3D menu screens)...yet Paranorman also does not have the SSIF folder or files, and is also a shrunk-to-BD25 title.

Does any of this (re: Jaws 3D and Paranorman...another one I'd like to rip to anaglyph) have anything to do with residual 3D info left on the disc even if the SSIF folder and files were removed?
Or is there some other process of ripping Blu-ray 3D without all the SSIF stuff, that I'm not aware of?

DVD layer 2 does not play/rip

The DVD is Prison Break S1 D4. The disc surface is pretty much immaculate. I've seen MUCH WORSE (surface scratches, etc) play/rip just fine.
The first two episodes (of four total) play fine. The last two episodes do not play on any PC/laptop I own (tried three different PCs).
I used Nero Disc Speed utility to test the DVD. Right about the halfway (50 %) mark, the scanner turns into all RED sectors.
Ditto results with DVD Fab (the util. freezes up around 53%).
Of the thousands of DVDs I've played, this one is an outlier. I'm going to assume the layer 2 is suffering from some manuf. defect.
I only have PC-based players (drives). I do not have a dedicated stand-alone "rack" player. So maybe those are more tolerant???

Adding slow motion - Windows 10 editor

I'm basically trying to add slow motion effects to some videos and the built in video editor in Windows 10 has this feature when you edit a video in the photos app. The issue is it only allows me to add the super slow motion effect for a few seconds when selecting the turtle icon. When I select the speed in the middle, it will allow me to add slow motion for pretty much the whole video but, it's too quick for what I want. Is there any way to make the super slow speed last longer or at least be able to get somewhere in between? It seems like you can only pick one or the other. If not, are there any programs available which will let me ad that super slow effect for longer periods?


Here's what I'm talking about:

Help With m4v File Please

August 18, 2019, 1:20 pm

I have a 720p m4v file that looks quite good and plays smoothly. However, seeking is sluggish and I cannot make frame accurate cuts using VideoReDo TVSuite V5. Normally I have no problem using VideoReDo with h.264 video. AviDemux gives similar issues. It will only cut a certain points which I assume are at GOP boundaries and from the look of things given the way those boundaries jump in AVIDemux the boundaries are far apart. As best I understand VideoReDo should be able to cut at any point by re-encoding frames up to the boundary and then copying without encoding the remainder. This appears to be happening but the resultant file will not play smoothly at all. Sometimes frames are skipped at the beginning or end of cuts.

I don't know what it is about the encoding of this file that is giving this problem. I would like to re-encode this file so that cutting will be accurate. I would be grateful for any setting in either VideoReDo or AVIDemux to facilitate this.

Thanks!

Video issue on a 13 inch 2017 MacBook Pro

Hi there,

I'm a newbie and not sure which category/discussion to post this in. Would really appreciate some help. I'm having an issue on my father's 2017 macbook pro. For some reason certain video files (so far, rather weirdly, only a collection of james bond films I have downloaded) are playing normally, but with a very annoying graphics anomaly. The videos play with the bottom section of the video area, beginning at a seemingly arbitrary point, playing only in vertical lines. This pattern seems to repeat the pixels downwards from the latitude at which the graphical error begins. Not sure how else to describe it. I'm sure there's a name for this kind of graphics error, but I haven't been able to find it. For simplification I have attached two screenshots of what happens. The files are 2160p .mkv, encoded with h.265, and they are playing with latest version of VLC.

Question, I have a bunch of betacam tapes, and a few BetacamSP Tapes, I have a Sony PVW-2650 Deck. I'm looking to avoid using it's svideo out and utilize its component outputs to capture - and I need advice on the best method or DEVICES. I have a fair Windows XP PC I use to do other captures via Vdub and AIT AIW USB etc. (and I have some better Windows 10 PC's on the side). but in this case the component YPbPr becomes my challenge. Looking for advice here on - do I need to hunt down a component style capture card? Or are there other workflow options for me, passthru another device? hunt down a SDI, Component to USB device ? . May I add something EVERYONE says (sorry) , I'm trying to not break my bank" but I also understand you get what you pay for. In the end I'm looking for any recommendations or advice. Thanks in advance, MG

Live Gamer Portable 2 - Video-Quality Drop after Firmware Update

August 18, 2019, 3:39 pm

Hello everyone!

I am really frustrated :(

I retested my LGP2 to record the Video of my Sony Alpha 5100.

And wow, at first it worked really well. I had quite a great video quality while recording.

Then RECentral crashed (happens so often :/ ).
I couldnt get it to work again.
So I thought, maybe I should update all LGP2 firmware. (GC510_3.0.0.16)

After that, everything went wrong....

I had so many bugs, crashed and problems since then.
But what drives me really crazy is the drop in the video quality.

First: in the PC-free mode, before the update, the LGP2 recorded at around 20 mbit/s.
After the update it now only records in around 7 mbit/s. Albeit I set the quality in RECentral for PC-free to high.

But the real bummer is:

In PC-Mode I get totally crap video quality now. Its so blurry and although RECentral records at e.g 60mbit/s, the quality looks like 2mbit/s.
I changed and tested quite a few different settings, but still:

After the firmware update everything is broken. Now I can't use the LGP2 for what I wanted in the first place (the quality is to low).

Also I wasn't able to downgrade the firmware update (the LGP2 just doesn't update, when I put the old update-file in the update-folder on the sd-card).



So my questions now are:

1) Is there a way to downgrad the firmwar of the LPG2?

2) Does andyboy else has/had experiences like mine?

3) Do I miss something and the solution is very simple?

Thanks a lot !!! :)

backward_vec1 = MAnalyse(super, isb = true, delta = 1, overlap=4)
forward_vec1 = MAnalyse(super, isb = false, delta = 1, overlap=4)
forward_vec2 = MAnalyse(super, isb = false, delta = 2, overlap=4)
MDegrain2(super, backward_vec1,forward_vec1,backward_vec2,forward_v ec2,thSAD=400)
strength = 4
FFT3DFilter(bw=6, bh=6, ow=3, oh=3, plane=0, bt=1, sigma=strength)

SRT, change vertical margin but keep 1-line subtitles vertically centered

August 18, 2019, 11:29 pm

I want to add subtitles to a video, which has a strip with written text at the bottom (sorry for the clumsy phrasing – what is the specific name by the way ?).
If I use Avisynth's TextSub(), the subtitles (created with SubtitleEdit in SRT format) appear with a pleasant style, but are positioned partially over that strip, which affects their readability. I found a way to change the position of the subtitles by creating a .srt.style file (based on the template found in this thread) and setting the “MarginV” field to a suitable value. It works, but then, the margin is the same for 1 line subtitles as for 2 lines subtitles, whereas by default the subtitles are vertically centered, so that the 1 line subtitles appear in the middle of the lines of 2 lines subtitles, if that's clear enough.
I found this thread adressing a similar issue :
https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/373652-Positioning-subtitle-in-video
The main advice is to convert to ASS format and then edit the margin separately for 1 lines subtitles and 2 lines subtitles.
Isn't there a more simple way of achieving what I want, which is, to keep the default style and default behaviour of SRT files as rendered by TextSub() and only shift them a few pixels lower ?
Also, if I do have to convert to ASS format, what would be the settings which would mimic the default appearance with TextSub and SRT format ?

Three questions:

1. Dialog Normalization (DN) is only for ac3 audio or is also present in other formats like DTS or LPCM?
2. I have noticed with one movie that the music is loud but dialogue is a little quiet. The original is DN -4dB but mine is not set at that level. How can I set to -4 dB with eac3to?
3. ea3to always removes DN, If i can get the original audio file, how can I keep dialog normalization?
