Instrumental Anime Project

You treat the AVS script files as if they were actual video files. I'm pretty sure (though I could be wrong) that any program that can read video files using the Direct show method will be able to play them. Others that don't use that method to decode, such as Premiere may need a plugin to read it, but you get the idea. Virtualdub and Virtualdubmod are the programs of choice to encode it into an actual AVI file.

On another note, glad to see this project is almost finished ;p (how many times have I said that line already?

)

Actually, yes I did. Probably because I only skimmed through the guide in search of AVISynth info, rather than reading it properly (which I haven't done in quite a while). Thank you.

I really don't forsee any good oportunities for me to complete the project in the next two weeks (those being the final week of courses and finals week), but I will re-install VirtualDub (I tried it once before, but didn't much like it as a GUI video editor) and perform a test run with the AVISynth script to see if that'll work for producing WMP-friendly AVI files. If so, that'd be a lot cleaner (and probably also quicker and less error prone) a solution that the raw YUV approach (which works, but is fairly slow (being bound by the limits of disk I/O) and relies on a very large amount of data being written and read back without encountering any corruption or interruptions).

The only task remaining that I'd call "time-consuming" on my end (since I can run all the encode and render stuff mostly unattended) is to fix the end credits. That should be someting I can put together in a single day. Unfortunately, I probably won't have an entire day's worth of free time until finals are over (and, if I do, I should probably spend it studying for my Differential Equations final).

Ah how crazy life can be. Crashing hardrives, software problems, busy school schedules, and now burning houses! Maybe now some good stuff will happen.

Bakadeshi: You gave me your ftp info a while ago and had server problems. So...I still have never gotten you my MPEG-2. I'm ready to try again

PM me if your ftp has changed, because it ain't working.

yea I havn't set up the ftp on my new PC again. I'll see to that and let you know when I have it running. Might not have anything done till next week though, since I'll be going out of town over the weekend.
