Well, Hello^2...
Although I'm very determined overall, I think you've (grossly) over-estimated the "determination" going this route - in a fun way
Trying to simplify things as much as possible
however, since your nice/long/detailed response, decided to try it anyways, followed all steps.. I cannot believe if it's that complex why no1 zipped it all up but then possibly there are so many things that can go wrong, hence each one needs to dig their own hole
even noticed broken download links on this:
http://www.fftw.org/install/windows.html
Tried something like this:
Code:
Vid = DirectShowSource("Y:\test.MOV", audio=false)
Vid = GradFun3(thr=0.25)
It failed with:
Code:
---------------------------
VirtualDub Error
---------------------------
Avisynth open failure:
Script error: Invalid arguments to function "GradFun3"
(Y:\open_Filter_test.avs, line 4)
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
even without any arguments to GradFun3, same error, so i think I'll pass on this effort, since it is way over my head, lots of moving parts, and seems impossible to debug if you're not a developer
maybe one day, until then, I'll just take the default filters and live with it or expand the filesize to make it look better.
Thanks so much!
