Problem with VirtualDubMod

[Vax]

I had the exact same problem.
Download the ffmpegsource plugin from this Doom 9 thread (I personally recommend the 1.21 version, not the beta), put the dll in your avisynth plugins folder (usually c:\program files\avisynth 2.5\plugins), and create a script with

Code: Select all

ffmpegsource("path to video file", vtrack=-1, atrack=-1)

Voila.

yay! thank you, i can get it into virtualdubmod now, although when i do, the color is all distorted, like one of the channels is missing, but i dont really know anything about that, any idea what that might be?

Voila.

Just as an aside, the vtrack parameter is only necessary if you're dealing with multi-angle files (and maybe some other odd cases). Needless to say, it's not required to declare it in the script some 99.9% of the time. atrack is only necessary if you want the audio as well, as FFmpegSource doesn't load audio by default (and therefore declaring atrack is actually routine).

Geez, who cares, at least it works D:

Hmm..That didn't happen for me. Maybe ask around for script that gets rid of this problem because I am the worst person with scripting.

You can use this plugin for color adjustment. Just play around with the settings.
ColorYUV(gain_u=5, gain_v=-25)

I forgot that Tweak() is also a coloradjustment plugin...you can set it sat=1

Tweak(sat=1) won't do anything, to increase it should be more like Tweak(sat=1.2) or along those lines (up to 10.0). To decrease it should be Tweak(sat=0.8) and alikes (down to 0.0). Still, since the issue here is the lack of color, it's either about increasing saturation or, as you already pointed out, tweaking the chroma channels.

Hmm, this didn't happen to me possibly because I put the script before hand and it was the right one? Anyhow, try it.

Code: Select all

tweak(hue=1.0,sat=1.2,cont=1.1,bright=-2)
