NEW Guides and AmvApp BETA

[Qyot27]

Hmmmm, I'm about to redo my computer and am beginning to wonder if it's really a good idea to use AMVapp anymore...I absolutely love it, but it's just so out-of-date...even the "beta" is two years old now...

I always get each piece of software separately and install as needed. The only things on my computer remaining from the time I installed the AMVapp (which was way back in '03 or '04, IIRC), are the massive number of AviSynth plugins it came with. But even those I've pared down to a somewhat-smaller core set I actually use.

I highly recommend you don't get the old AMV App, and I sort of recommend you dont get the beta one. The thing is, a lot of the stuff in it can be either difficult to find or very time consuming to find, particularly some of the avisynth filters. So if you aren't able to get the stuff on your own, then I do reluctantly recommend it in that case.

I will hope to make future versions more... flexible.

Alright, I was working on this thing practically all day long today, and got a big chunk of it done. http://zarxrax.kicks-ass.net/avtechbeta/index.html
Most of the stuff listed under "Getting Your Video" should be sort of updated now. Most of the new content is very much out of sync with amvapp, so you probably can't follow along unless you google for the stuff.

The link to the AMVapp beta2 doesn't seem to be working for whatever reason. It's like it doesn't even exist.

[Zarxrax]

Because there isn't one.

[Kira_Douji]

Ah. I had thought you wanted that looked at simultaneous to the guide updates. My bad.

I like your advice on getting footage from YouTube.

EDIT: Oooh interesting, you made it easier to try out new deinterlacing methods. again.

I must agree with the Youtube comment.

I must agree with the <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/forum/v ... ochsack</a> comment.

I would add that the instrument used for the boochsack section must be red-hot and rusty.

With the inclusion of FFmpegSource, will there be a corresponding VirtualDubMod template as well (not that I'd use it, but it would be useful for others)? Also, since there's now a wrapper function for the 2.00 beta to make it function like 1.21, I would suggest that both versions be included for completeness' sake - they don't conflict with each other because the 2.00 versions don't use FFmpegSource() to operate, and the wrapper directs to FFmpegSource2().

The wrapper function is in this post:

And while I've posted the templates before, here they are again:

ffmpegsource.avst

Code: Select all

#ASYNTHER FFmpegSource (1.21)
[FFmpegSource("%f",atrack=-1)]

I added the (1.21) to make sure it was distinguished from 2; if that causes a problem then just remove it.

ffmpegsource2.avst

Code: Select all

#ASYNTHER FFmpegSource2
[FFmpegSource2("%f",atrack=-1)]
