BestSource2 - The Bestest Source with Fast Seeking

What are the advantages/disadvantages of enabling or disabling seekpreroll?

It's more or less for debugging purposes only. Don't touch it unless you think there's a very good reason.

Then I will no touchy

R12-RC1 is now available and fixes even more odd corner cases.

It also adds automatic fallback to CPU decoding if no hardware decoder exists for the current format.

Thanks, the new auto fallback to CPU does seem to work fine!

Hi, tried BestSource2 v10 and latest v13 and both gives silent audio when opening .VOB with AC3 (tried both 5.1: atrack=1 and 192k stereo: atrack=2):

v= BSSource( "VTS_05_8.vob", atrack=1, cachepath="/")
return v

¿any ideas?
Thanks, and great work!

Found an issue: VID1.AVI (yuvj422p) was joined with VID2.AVI (yuv420p) using VirtualDub: "VID1-2.AVI". Opening it with BestSource will only return first part of the merged video. Fortunately I still had the originals, so made a script opening each in Avisynth and merging them there (after converting VID2 with ConvertToYUV422). Anyway, maybe in a future version BestSource might be able to deal with mixed AVI inner content, because neither VirtualDub or Player complained.

Provide a sample

I ran into a problem with bestsource having frame accurate issue with VOB files. I used DGIndexNV as reference. These are the video length that I got from the different methods, all methods were opened with VD2.

DGIndexNV -> dgi -> load with DGSource:
24:09.248

DGIndexNV -> demux m2v -> mux to mkv:
24:09.248

DGIndexNV -> demux m2v -> mux to mkv -> BestSource:
19:20.960

mkvtoolnix -> mux vob -> mkv:
24:11.183

mkvtoolnix -> mux vob -> mkv -> BestSource:
19:20.960

vob -> BestSource:
19:20:960

BestSource seems to give same wrong frames no matter how I mux the vob.

How do you know it's wrong? Different from DG stuff by a few frames but that does not a bug make in either of the tools.

I have noticed that all the mkv one has been automatically ivtc'ed, don't know where that process came from. Changing their frame rate to 24000/1001 will change the video length similar to the dg one.

Maybe you want bs.VideoSource(rff=True) because rff defaults to False.

Yes. The ratio of times is 0.8 which is consistent with the repeat flags not being honored.

You are right, with rff=True, BestSource matches DGSource.


bs.VideoSource(rff=True)
