Unofficial VirtualDub Support Forums > General Discussion > Can't Get Avisynth Tunnelling To Work

Hi All,

I'd like to investigate the usefulness of using proxy mode's Avisynth tunnelling, but can't seem to get it working.

What I have working:

AVI file -> Avisynth -> VirtualDub frameserver (proxy mode enabled) -> .avi signpost file

This signpost file I can successfully open with either Avisynth or VirtualDub directly.

Now, the Help file says "when proxy mode is enabled, the AVIFile driver will tunnel through any file that begins with the nine characters #avisynth through to the Avisynth scriptable video processing tool".

How does this work? Is this *any* file, or is the frameserver involved? I.e. is this for further processing with Avisynth of frameserver output, or for serving up other media file types via Avisynth as AVI without frameserver involvement? Apart from the #avisynth, what would such a file typically contain then? I'm having no luck regardless of what I've tried.

Could it also be that auxsetup.exe attempted registry modifications which failed due to Windows Resource Protection (see http://forums.virtualdub.org/index.php?act=ST&f=15&t=21154)? The frameserver client does seem to work correctly in non-proxy mode, though.

I'm using VirtualDub 1.9.6 on Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. It seems the latest stable release 1.9.11 implements proxy mode the same way. Nothing I've tried so far has worked and any help with Avisynth tunnelling will be sincerely appreciated.

Thanks,
Francois

Thanks for your response, -vdub-, but it seems to have gotten corrupted?

OK, I get it. Frameserver client proxy mode spoofs an Avisynth script as an AVI "file":

I.e. this is wholly handled by the client with no frameserver involvement.

Thanksm neuron2. And thanks Avery for implementing biggrin.gif .

At least you found what I was going to post and is working ok for you. The same was I was going to post but decided not as based on an older version of virtualdub v1.3e. As the pc was encoding at that time I couldn't test if that information was correct for the current virtualdub version. Instead I decided to delete the post in-case it wasn't of use with the recent virtualdub builds.

Virtualdub help file [Processing: Frameserver] also has some details for using the virtualdub frameserver with avisynth.

Thanks for the confirmation, -vdub-.
