Is it possible to fully automate ConvertFromDoubleWidth meaning calling it only when it is double width. When the aspect ratio is > 3.5 then it is very likely double width and that's good enough for me, my problem is I don't know what to use as bits argument, how do I know if it is 10 or 16 bit?

Isn't it better to write a patch for lsmashsource plugin and don't rely on vague heuristics?

It's better sure but if it was trivial somebody would have already done it.

It looks trivial for me, but I don't have much time to spend for coding. I'm working everyday from December.

Just a quick question - I am finally upgrading to avisynth+ and have done it manually and it seems to be working fine but I am wondering a couple of things -

1. I copied the 2 avisynth.dll's in my 64 bit system to the required windows folders
2. I updated the registry with the new location of my "plugins+" folder. My old folder seems to be used if I rename this new folder, which is correct according to the docs although the 2 registry entries that my original avisynth is supposed to use do not exist!
3. In my new "avisynth+" folder I have copied the two folders that came in the zipfile, these are "c_api" and "system" and the files within. "c_api" folder has "avisynth.lib" and "avisynth.exp". Is this where they should be left?

Everything seems to work ok. I can load a video and one filter I added does work.

Oh, one last question - Do I have to use any MT commands in my scripts like in the older version? I'm using pinterf's avisynth+.

Update on MT - OK, found the info on MT and it's commands. Just tried it and I see no speed increase using Prefetch(4).

3. you don't need these files. There is a "Universal Avisynth Installer" https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=172124 which does all the work for you. You just need to set the path in the bat file.

Pinterf, just pointing out this line
https://github.com/pinterf/AviSynthP...s/fps.cpp#L655

Code:
// :FIXME: Use fast plane blend routine from Merge here

dammit I was using the wrong source code. I always have a hard time finding the right source code version.

I'm looking at ConvertFps code. Why is it that when I debug the code and step frame by frame, in ConvertFPS::GetFrame, mix_ratio is always 1023 (out of 1024) and thus doesn't perform any blend? Then if I seek elsewhere in the file then it starts blending with other ratios.

Really something looks wrong. If I debug and put a breakpoint right after discarding based on threshold, and I play the video, blending doesn't get triggered at all because all frames have ratio of 1023!?? Then if I seek, it's a different ratio but all the frames will have that same ratio until I seek again. I'm using your version now, but something doesn't look right.

That's debugging a copy of your code I made into my project; so it's possible something got broken during copy too.

EDIT:
Never mind my source video was already a 60fps!!!

Oh. Interesting. Pinterf, your new code for ConvertFps calculates mix_ratio and mix_ratio_f but never uses them!! Thus altering those variables shows no difference whatsoever!

Seems like the function is only capable of doing a 50/50 blend?

Edit: it's using frac_f instead of mix_ratio; but then it's ignoring the threshold calculation.

No problem there, in this section mix_ratio is used for threshold comparison, but the frac_f holds the real blending weight of the two neightbouring frames. Anyway, I have deleted some unused variables to make it a bit clearer.

I'm writing a C++ program that creates its own Avisynth environment. When I compile it, I get:

Code:
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "struct AVS_Linkage const * const AVS_linkage" (?AVS_linkage@@3PEBUAVS_Linkage@@EB)
That goes away if I add:

Code:
#define AVS_LINKAGE_DLLIMPORT
which is what I used to do in my old plugins. Nowadays, in my plugins, I do:

Code:
const AVS_Linkage *AVS_linkage = 0;

extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) const char* __stdcall AvisynthPluginInit3(IScriptEnvironment* env, const AVS_Linkage* const vectors) {
	AVS_linkage = vectors;
	...
but I don't know how to, or if I should, translate this to my standalone C++ program. So - since I have no idea what this vectors thing is about - what's the right thing to do?

Have a look at my avsr code, "avsr.cpp" in particular.
It basically boils down to this:
Code:
//global defs
const AVS_Linkage *AVS_linkage = 0;
typedef IScriptEnvironment * __stdcall CREATE_ENV(int);

HINSTANCE hDLL;
hDLL = ::LoadLibrary("avisynth");

if (!hDLL)
{
  //Error handling
  return;
}

int iInterfaceVersion;
IScriptEnvironment *AVS_env = 0;

try
{
 CREATE_ENV *CreateEnvironment = (CREATE_ENV *)GetProcAddress(hDLL, "CreateScriptEnvironment");
 if (!CreateEnvironment)
 {
  ::FreeLibrary(hDLL);
  //Error handling
  return;
 }

 iInterfaceVersion = 6;
 while (!AVS_env)
 {
  if (iInterfaceVersion < 5)
  {
   ::FreeLibrary(hDLL);
  //Error handling
   return;
  }

  AVS_env = CreateEnvironment(iInterfaceVersion);
  iInterfaceVersion--;
 }

 AVS_linkage = AVS_env->GetAVSLinkage();

 //do your stuff
 ...


 //important!
 AVS_env->DeleteScriptEnvironment();
 AVS_env = 0;
 AVS_linkage = 0;
}
catch (AvisynthError err)
{
  //Error handling
}
catch (other error handling mechanisms)
{
 //Error handling
}

::FreeLibrary(hDLL);

Why isn't it calculating the threshold on the same frac_f directly?

That's a lot of stuff! What am I missing out on if I just use #define AVS_LINKAGE_DLLIMPORT intead?

Don't know, never tried it. I developed this initialisation over the years, some bits are courtesy of IanB's suggestions. It's not a lot of stuff, it's the bare minimum.

What is your program supposed to do?

Edit: A couple of examples can also be found on avisynth.nl:

Hey Pinterf, I just realized that if any AVS script is running and auto-loading plugins, even if it's not using them, it's locking all those files on the hard drive. There's probably a better way of doing that.

What if eg Scriptclip() on occasion [EDIT: not every frame] uses a function/filter, you dont 100% for sure know that its never gonna use it.
[ EDIT: or do you ? - same situation with plugin, where defo cant be sure ED: or can you ? ]

Best leave alone, let user decide what he/she/it is gonna lock-n'-load.

No problem.
1. Do a discovery of all DLLs and what's in them
2. Once the script is loaded and started rendering, unload everything that is not in use
NOTE: We still know what functions are available and where
3. If a function is later called that is unloaded, load it.

Otherwise, while we have any script playing that uses auto-loading, we cannot update any dll files.
