Using Avisynth inside a program/development questions

Hi all,

Been a while since I've posted any problems, etc.. Hopefully it won't be too difficult to get some answers. Sorry if these questions are noob-ish, but I am learning a lot of things about programming as I go.. I have tinkered with languages for a decade but could never settle on one, or get very far by myself since I lack the money for traditional/formal classes on Programming.

This is a very serious project with a real goal though, and I fully expect to invest Months of work in its realization.


I am currently in the beginning stages (writing the design document) of what I hope will be my first complete Windows program. I don't want to go too much into detail, except to say it is inspired by YATTA (Yet Another Telecide Tool for Anime) and is specifically geared towards Anime VFR sources. In the end I am hoping to end up with something similar to YATTA, but much easier to use/learn, and that has much better documentation.

The application will be developed in PureBasic (I just can't stand C/C++ sorry!) and although I have tried looking at YATTA's source code several times, I can't really decipher the PASCAL language stuff well enough to tell what it is doing.

I am guessing I am going to have to write or find a wrapper of some sort, in order to use Avisynth inside my program.. Basically I want to be able to load an AVS script, and then scan it (without rendering.. like Yatta Metrics Collector, or like VirtualDub's Video Analysis Pass).

That way I should be able to manipulate a video in anyway I deem necesarry, right? I'm going to capture output metrics from stuff like Telecide/TFM or any other filters that might warrant this, using the Debugstring- so I think I've got that part covered and know how to do it.

But before I embark upon the journey if either trying to write a wrapper myself (*pointers....groan), or understand the one written by Inc. (he also is working on a nice DirectShow wrapper for PB) I was wondering if there wasn't an easier way to work with Avisynth, Similar to how Virtualdub is used I suppose.

Perhaps implementing basic AVI loading for instance, and dealing with the frame served AVS script (using mpeg2source or w/e). As long as I could still call the frames individually, or zip through them to analyze real fast, etc.. There shouldn't be any accuracy concerns, right? However I am also aware that sometimes a program that is frameserved AVI by Avisynth, might still have issues with seeking within a stream, etc..


So I am wondering really what the best way to go is? Most of the data my program will work with and manipulate will be taken from DebugStrings for the most part (at least for the core functionality I want to implement.. don't know about future features yet).

I guess I'm just looking for general advice on how to approach this issue. If any other devs who use Avisynth in their programs want to comment with how they do it, how hard it was, or any other advice; that would be most appreciated.

Im more or less on the same but with VisualBasic and i can speak (not with much experience) a little of C++.

The Staxrip load AVS frames (i think). take a look to the code.

Heh, I kind of wrote this thread off as "dead". I actually am currently trying to implement the AVIFILE API that Windows uses for AVI files. I got to the point where I could load a file, and grab some header information, but once I got a pointer to a packed DIB, I kind of was at a loss as to how to push it into an image. But I'm getting a little help from another PB Programmer currently and hopefully I will be able to do something with it.

Since you are using VB you should check this out. Maybe you can do something useful with it..
http://www.shrinkwrapvb.com/avihelp/avihelp.htm

The guy helping me also might be looking into Inc's Avisynth C API Wrapper for PB, so I guess if the above method fails for getting actual frames, hopefully he'll be able to simplify things for me.
Hope that link helps you, though.

If you cannot figure out how to render a DIB to the screen on Windows, or if you cannot figure out how to convert it to whatever image format your environment uses, you probably shouldn't be doing anything programmatically with Avisynth at all. I suggest you a) learn some elementary knowledge about Microsoft's media formats and b) learn a real programming language.

I would like to suggest, that if you can't say anything nice....

But seriously. Everybody starts somewhere. Sorry we're not all geniuses and use C/C++ like the rest of you

Fair enough. However, you should start by using the native Avisynth API and not VFW.

Every plugin/filter I know is written that way using C/C++. That should give you a clue.

I'm not writing a filter. My program will not do any filtering. All I need is to be able to display and step through a frame served AVI as the user dictates. The program will generate output files based on user input. That's all I'm doing.

Thus far I just got it to load and play through an AVS script. Had to stick a ConvertToRGB24 in the script to get that to happen though.. So I'm off to fix that part now (hopefully).

The point is, if you want to process the output of an Avisynth script, it's much easier to do it using the Avisynth API, rather than doing it indirectly via VfW - unless you already have some more general reason for using the VfW interface.

I understand that, Gavino.

I guess what I am trying to say is I am not really trying to "process" anything at this point. If I were to use the Avisynth API at this point, the only reason would be to call it directly to get a video frame and display it. Any output from the Avisynth filters I plan on using in any scripts (TFM, Tdecimate, Telecide or w/e) I can get via the Win32 DebugString. So in a sense, I feel it is much simpler for me to use the VfW API to load the script and display/step to a frame, especially given my lack of experience.

I would certainly like to be skilled enough to use the Avisynth API in the future, but I can't see a reason why I would absolutely need it for this particular program, in this case. I'm only interested in displaying the results of an Avisynth processed frame, i.e just like loading a script in VirtualDub to preview/tweak. My program will take user inputs for a Frame or Frame Range (Match these fields instead, Post Process this, Don't Decimate this Frame Range, Use this match pattern instead, etc. etc.) and then compile the resulting data and create a new Script that the program can send to a command line encoder, as well as generate the necesarry TimeCodes V1 file for muxing into an MKV, and any overrides files needed to VFR decimate the file.

For the time being, the VfW API provided by AVIFIL32.DLL seems to be the right tool for my skill level, and it can do what I need - win/win right?

No, really, I mean it. I'm a terrible excuse for a programmer myself, so I should know. A DIB is the simplest kind of image data you can get; it's just an RGB bitmap with some metadata tacked on (the only gotcha is that it's stored upside down). The Win32 API provides a lot of functions for interacting directly with DIB's, and information on how to do stuff with DIB's is readily available just a Google search away. If you cannot figure out what to do with it on your own, your chances of succeding in doing whatever you want to do is not very high. Start with something easier.

It's not that I can't figure out what to do with it. It's that I'm new to API and Pointers and all that crap. I suck at learning anything decent from standard reference Docs. I've spent plenty of time on MSDN. I don't think like someone who has been programming for a few years, it takes time for me to wade through endless walls of syntax and API calls.

I am getting lots of helpful advice from another PB programmer, however. So I am nearly there. It is far from "not a real language", which is likely why my progress is so slow. I went with PB over something like VB precisely because I want to learn how to do this stuff. That and the development tools were way cheaper.

If you have trouble with something specific that you don't understand, pasting that little bit of code will probably get you more receptive help. (instead of just pasting a whole thing).

For what its worth, if you can understand Pascal, you might want to look at YATTA's source code repository on Google, under the G3 Trunk. If you want to write a wrapper, I certainly don't envy your task. Inc. Also wrote an Avisynth C API wrapper for PureBasic, I think he posted it somewhere here on the forums. Studying those might give you some clues, but you'd probably get better help writing a wrapper by asking in a dedicated programming forum, with a specific question about something you are having problems with.

Oh, well I don't really know/use VB.. but maybe I can find something useful.

Happen to have a BITMAPINFOHEADER structure I could look at? (if you defined your own?)

Still having that issue with having to tack a "ConvertToRGB24" onto the end of scripts, but they do load and I can frame step forward and backward.. Since its just for preview purposes, I suppose I could just leave it as is and be happy that its working, just have the program throw the Convert in when it generates the preview script, and leave it out of generated scripts for actual processing.

Hopefully won't cause any image quality issues.
