MPEG2toVirtualDub
Hi,
My aim was to capture from DVB and then store to DivX / XVid. Therefor I have to get the MPEG2 Stream finally loaded into VDub(Mod). I know there are many ways to do this, please look here if you want to know more. But why should we all do nearly the same again and again manually ? Jory Stone (jcsston) wrote a frontend for VirtualDub, that does this job for you. To quote him: Quote:
You can get the newest versions from his site at Tripod or Geocities If you need help with this nearly self explaining program there is also a howto on this page. The procedure is nearly the same as described in my little guide (german link), that we will hopefully see in the near future on doom9.org in English language. History of Jorys program is here in the VDub support board. Although I made many movies without any problems please report probs and bugs here. Thats all Thanks again Jory for this great program that made capturing so easy

Hi cofferscuffs,
you should just try it, then you will see. No need to use different programs and to do it step by step, just make your settings, then go and drink a beer or milk (whatever you like ) come back and start encoding. For me it is that easy and comfortable, much more than the "hard way"

Since this was exactly my way, it is good to have a proggie that does it for me now... It is the same as it is always. The "freaks" do it manually, but imagine you were a noob with now clue how avisynth works, what to do with pvastrumento and you dont want to read any guides. Think it is easier then ? Believe me: I am very very lazy and I use it because of that laziness... ...I bet you also use this software but you cant admit it now...

now, i actually do hate pvastro, ds.jar is much better for demuxing (btw have you noticed pvastro getting less accurate with new versions for damaged gops - meaning that it drops more then it should?)
although i have changed my method quite a bit now; 1) demux source with ds.jar 2) split the video in m2edit and save the timecodes of the split points in a txt file 3) make a dvd2avi project file out of the split video 4) encode to format of choice 5) split source audio with the saved timecodes in besplit 6) encode split audio to format of choice in besweet 7) mux

Hello,
maybe you could use a directshow-decoder (like the latest mpgdec.ax in the moonlight-player from www.elecard.com). Use it with avisynth2.53`s DirectShowSource() to open your mpeg2 files: [test.avs] DirectShowSource("yourmpeg.mpg") with several sources: [test2.avs] a=DirectShowSource("yourmpeg.mpg") b=DirectShowSource("yourmpeg2.mpg") c=DirectShowSource("yourmpeg3.mpg") return a+b+c then open test(2).avs in vdub(mod), this should be the easiest way... hanfrunz Last edited by hanfrunz; 23rd November 2003 at 16:53. |

just to report a minor bug:
when your filename contains any of "[" or "]" it won't work. Just rename your source files BTW BaronVlad your bookmark is not working doom9.de seems to be dead just put "212.63.136.4" instead of "doom9.de" Last edited by ch@@boom; 4th February 2004 at 11:10. |

just some notes:
1) i don't know what it causes but when you have chosen your mpeg2 file and try to use fieldDeinterlace it produces a script with parameters like "wahr", "falsch" and so on. VirtualDub pops with an error; i guess it cannot handle german you have to replace it manually with "true" and "false", then it works 2) the program kills itself when i try to minimize it in the task area 3) this prog is really great but i have some problems : i have a direct .mp2 file from my dbox2 over the network. i use the Mpeg2VirtualDub to feed VirtualDub and encode to DivX. as it is interlaced i have to deinterlace it (MapDeinterlace). so far so good, but when i view an encoded test clip on the pc i see blocks when there is a scene with (slight) moving is this caused by DivX or deInterlace ? using winXpPro SP1, PIII-800Mhz Last edited by ch@@boom; 4th February 2004 at 18:44. |
