New to AVISynth, and need it for mkv's and ogm's

[Tzapporah]

ok...so after much pain, I finally got something to allow me to import MKV's to Adobe Premiere.

I have written a .avs file, but beyond naming the video, I'm a bit lost.

I am getting this error.


Now, as I've said, it's an MKV, so I not only have no idea as to how I should tell AVISynth this, but I don't even know how to find out it's framerate.

Please help!!

If you right-click the file and then click "Properties" you should be able to find out the framerate from there.

Then you simply do the script as such:

("Filepath.mkv", fps=...)

If you right-click the file and then click "Properties" you should be able to find out the framerate from there.

Actually, as far as I can tell, Windows rounds that number down to the nearest whole frame per second (I've seen videos that I knew to be 23.976fps be reported as 23), unless maybe you've installed the enhancements to the Properties tab that come with something in the Matroska install package (i can't remember what).

I'd suggest opening the MKV file in VirtualDubMod and opening "File information" to get the frame rate.

I honestly don't know what you did to Windows to make it give you that information from "Properties" Mine has no such information of the kind. I've tried just arbitrarily giving it different valid FPS's, and the best result I had was only getting approximately 2 minutes of the file into Premier. What I need is about 16 minutes in...

Apologies on double post, but I didn't see an "edit" option. I just got the correct framerate from VirtualDub, and when I put it in, I got the whole vid. Thanks

'Though I still wonder what is making Head Hunter see framerate by the windows properties window.

I dunno either. I just right-click the video, hit properties, then click over to summary, where it gives me the rounded down number for FPS.

Ignore me. Apparently it only work for me with .avi, so yeah, you're on your own. Sorry about that.

Yeah, that comes with the Matroska Shell Extension from the main developers (in which case there are about 4 or 5 new tabs added into the properties dialog - the Summary tab is still inert, though; Matroska Info is the equivalent tab).

Haali's Splitter also has shell extension capabilities, but those are limited to just displaying extra data values directly in Explorer's column view.
