I've long wished for a way to do full screen previews in VirtualDub, to get a quick look at my video without the UI chrome. Frameserving directly to a media player has not worked for me. Here's a workaround - put VirtualDub in frame serving mode, save the signpost as *.avi, make an Avisynth script...
| CODE | #avisynth AviSource("signpost filename.avi") | ...and open the script in your media player. The script can be retained between previews if the same filename is always used for the signpost.
Alternate, even easier method: save your signpost AVI as *.avs. It seems to work fine with MPC-HC. It shouldn't, but it does!
Note 1: depending on the filters in use, playback may stutter badly - if that's an issue, fall back to encoding a short test video for your preview. Note 2: you must use VirtualDub's Auxsetup.exe "Install handler" function for this to work. See the Frameserving docs, but ignore the part about saving as *.vdr . |
