WMV to Avi convert. quick pls

[Reen@]

you need to include the full path of the video that you're trying import.

there are 2 parts to the file path (both are circled in red)

so let's say that I want to use clip26.avi
I'd do this

Code: Select all

directshowsource("C:\Documents and Settings\Use\My Documents\My Videos\clip26.avi")

you'll notice that the first part is in the explorer bar at the top, and the rest of the file path is: \filename.something

the audio skew is because someone forced variable bitrate audio into the avi stream (the avi container is oly supposed ot have cbr audio instead of vbr)
you could demux, and re-encode your audio as cbr using besweet and then re-mux...but I wouldn't do that unless you need that audio and need it to be synced

Thank you for the reply

Still though, I would like to ask you (a really dumb question and I hate to do so) how the ASV file could help me with VDub. Honestly I cannot make it up from the tutorial you gave.

once you get the file into vdub(/mod) thanks to avisynth, you can go to file-save as and then save it as an avi file (you should probably compress it with huffyuv or lagarith. NOT DIVX OR XVID UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE if you will be editing this footage)

you need to do the avisynth step because windows requested that vdub remove its ability to import the proprietary wmv format...this is a way of getting around that issue

[Reen@]

Actually, that was not my question.

I hate to say this, but I still haven't learned to import a Avisynth file into VDub..

Can't you just tell me? I really really need to finish this urgently, because it is for school and I have no time to work it out myself (which I did the past 5 days)

[Kariudo]

I did...drag the avs file to vdub and drop it somewhere inside the program window.
...you do have avisynth right?

Yes I do, I just found it hard to imagine I had to drag the file into the program.

Now I just did a few times, but I still get the error. I have 3 different Vdubs. One recalls the error I stated before and the second (1.5.10.1) and third (1.6.17) states "Avi Import Filter error: (Unknown) (80040154)"

Here comes your superior but still simpel solution!

Install... Avi Synth?

Nobody told you so I guess you didn´t. Just intstall Avi Synth and it will work. Of course you can open also the script in VDM with the "Open File" button, command whatever.

Man you should have a close and good look at those guides:

Next question: What you´re going to do with the avi file? So we can tell you the best codec etc. for your goal.

Maybe this is an error (I don´t really know if it makes a difference):
write: DirectShowSource("C:\path of file\file.wmv") and not
directshowsource("C:\path of file\file.wmv")

Maybe this is an error (I don´t really know if it makes a difference):
write: DirectShowSource("C:\path of file\file.wmv") and not
directshowsource("C:\path of file\file.wmv")

Uppercase/lowercase is irrelevant.

[BauziOLD]

cool thx

[Reen@]

Actually I did install Avisynth, but because it didn't make any sense that it would then not work I redownloaded it and reinstalled it. Now it does work.

Thank you very much

...*OWNED* XD

[BauziOLD]

No problem.

For the future: The best to install is the amv app because there is already everything you need in this packed.

If you work with it and the guides. It is superior.
