I have installed Virtualdub on Windows 7 and run it for the first time using a Avisync script. All was fine until (I think) I hit the Enter key a couple of times and the viewing pane doubled up (from 2 panes to 4 panes and then from 4 panes to 8 panes – now very narrow on the screen) , I cannot revert to the standard layout and when I saved the movie it saved it in the multiple version as well. I have no idea what to do next. Please help!! Richard |

Certain video filters that call for frames out of order may be to blame, or make the situation worse. Could you post your script please?

Thank you for your quick response which made me guess it was a scripting problem. The script was written by Fred from Belgium and eventually found the following:
"For some reason, some people are having problems with selecting the results and removing the double screen.
It's simple: "resultS1" will output a stacked before/after file.
But "result1" will output the modified file only.
So, you only have to remove the "S".
many greetings from Flanders, Belgium,
Fred. "
I will try this when I get home this evening!
Thanks again,
Richard |

All ran well using Vdub but as the panes are doubled up, I removed the S from the 7 lines in the section #COMPARISONS: ORIGINAL VS RESULTS
resultS1= stackhorizontal(subtitle(source4,"original",size=28,align=2),subtitle(result1,"result1: autolevels, autowhite",size=28,align=2))
to read :
result1= stackhorizontal(subtitle(source4,"original",size=28,align=2),subtitle(result1,"result1: autolevels, autowhite",size=28,align=2))
Now I get the Error:
Aisynth Open Failure:
StackHorizontal: image heights don't match
(E:\Richard\Documents\VirtualDub\Film Restoring vs 06
2012\scripts\01_A_Film_Interpolation.avs,line 272)
Again, I ask for some expert assistance!!
Regards,
Richard

You are editing the script in ways that are not necessary; it looks to me like you should
edit the source video path, the values under "PARAMETERS," and nothing else.
If you read the help file "Film_restoring_help.txt" that comes with videoFred's script,
the correct workflow is explained.
I tried to replicate your original problem and could not do it - different source material maybe. |

Thank you very much for your pointers - I read videoFred's help files thoroughly and found my mistake -
The S parameter for stacking the output should have been removed from line 33 (See below) and not from the 7 instances at the end of the file!
#PARAMETERS
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
result="resultS1" # specify the wanted output here
With the above "S" removed, all worked well.
Thank you for your assistance,
Regards,
Richard |

Just when I thought all was well – the dreaded Avisynth error message rears it head yet again!
I was testing VideoFred’s script on a 819MB 27 sec AVI clip and it was working perfectly. I then applied the script to the full 12 minute, 2.47GB file exported in AVI format with the following conditions :
AVI Export:
Video: 320x240; 25.00 Frames/s; Intel IYUV codec
Audio: 44100 Hz; 128 kBit/s; Stereo; Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec (professional)
and I get the error message
Avisynth Open Failure
AVISource couldn’t locate a decompressor four fourcc dvsd
(E:\Richard\Video\Cine\8mm Avisynth Restoration Scripts\01_A_Film_Restoing_Frame_Interpolation.avs, line 145)
where line 145 is:
source= AviSource(film).assumefps(play_speed).trim(trim_begin,0).converttoYV12()
I don’t understand this, as all I did was to apply the same script to a longer film clip extracted in the same way as the short test clip.
Again, any assistance will be greatly sppreciated!
Richard

I get similar errors at random times when starting complex Avisynth scripts.
Try File, "Reopen video file" a couple of times. |

Thank you for that - I saved the .avi file from within Virtual Dub and it then ran the script without a problem!
