[avisynth EXPORT premiere plugin] - need help :)

[angel-sahor]

hi

i followed the import filter guide to get my dvd eps directly in adobe and it seems to work ok

loadplugin("C:\windows\system32\mpeg2dec.dll")
loadplugin("C:\windows\system32\decomb.dll")
mpeg2source("D:\opening.d2v")
#crop(1,10,692,470)
Telecide()
Decimate(5)
#bicubicresize(512,384,0,0.75)

but you can't crop or resize before so i do it in an export avs file to then encode in virualdub

loadplugin("avisynthex.dll")
IPCSource("Untitled.avi")
crop(1,10,692,470)
bicubicresize(512,384,0,0.75)

and then , when i open this avs file in virtualdub, i get a sort of "ipc source not detected , is frame server up ?" error

but untitled.avi is in the same rep as this avs export file

anyone had that kind of problem or knows what to do ?

and i have started the frame server in premiere with export movie "avisynth export file"

i use premiere 6.0 with XP

Er... have you tried putting the full path to the Untitled.avi file?

[angel-sahor]

yeps, of course, doesnt work either

[RyanGlazner]

Sorry if it sounded condescending. That's about the extent of my knowledge of AVS stuff. I gave up on it.

try using the frameserver plugin from videotools.net and then just add your crop and resize settings in virtualdub.

Or export as huffyuv and do the same.

RyanGlazner: it didn't to me, don't worry thx for replying so fast

AbsoluteDestiny:

- the other framserver plugin: gonna go n try that

- exporting to huffyuv : seems to be a lossless compression so it wont take as much space it would if i went uncompressed right ?
but, will it be as good as directly framserving to vdub ? (o know it's supposed to be lossless but it just doesn't "feel" right )

thx both for your help

[AbsoluteDestiny]

As good as frameserving? Well.. there is the following advantage:

you only have to do it once and then you can do lots of encodes from that one huffyuv file instead of having to frameserve everytime which is slow.

And yes, it's much much much smaller than uncompressed. Your video will be about a gig instead of about 6 gig ^_^;;;

[angel-sahor]

what i meant by as good, was in final video quality , but i guess so if this term lossless is used

two good advantages !!!
rather gonna try the huffyuv compression then
