Hello.
Could anyone tell me if there is a way to automatically load processing settings when starting vdubmod instead of having to load manually each and every time?
I tried entering settings file (*.vcf) on command line after vdubmod.exe, but that would not work.
Received error, "can not detect file type of (File name as entered on command line, if path included, will be listed)"
I also tried the /s switch on the command line, but then received 2 errors.
First one stating " Can't open script file", then the same one listed above.
I've also tried putting the settings file in the same directory as the exe, hoping it might autoload.
No Dice.
Last, I tried putting settings file into plugin directory, nada.
Finally in desperation I renamed file *.vdf in the plugin folder, but just received error about if not being a valid windows image file.
Seems like a simple enough request, but I've done several searches on the web site under all words, and tried vcf files, but came back with no hits.

Maybe I'm just dense and can't find it.
Might anyone know if it's possible?

Thanks

I don´t think it´s possible.

Did you deliberately chose the most unfitting forum?

I have the same problem. I save my editings (masked frames, copying frames from one place to another) in the "processing settings", and when I "refresh" my avisynth script (PF5) my editings are gone unless I save them (CTRL-S) before editing the script and load them (CTRL-L) after refreshing. Sometimes I forget to do this and lose hours of editing mad.gif.
Is there an easier way of editing frames? Where should I keep the list of edited frames?
I was using Virtualdub but after twice loosing ALL my edition (2 days of work ohmy.gif ) I installed VDUBMOD because of the refresh and editing avisynth script, but it didn't facilitate the edition.
What about an automatic "save/load" processing settings when PF5 is activated? That's not so hard to implement! (think I'm going to post it in the "wish list" for VDUBMOD)
I think I'm going to save each time with a different name (the frame number, for instance) in order to not lose my editings.

Well it maybe it's in the wrong forum but the question is why doesn't "Load Settings" work?

What I remember is in the very old versions it worked most of the times. It can't be me, I have various VDs & VDMODs on four machines, and it plain doesn't work.

What a pain it is that I have to print out all my .VCFs and hand enter them each time.

I know there are bug and bug fixes, but this should have been corrected a long time ago.

What do you mean "it doesn´t work"? It works fine for me.
Unless you are refering to some AVS stuff, that I don´t use.

No what I am talking about is when I save my filter chain and other setting as a VCF file, If you try to load again, the first thing you see is int,int,int,etc error. The first filter will be loaded with no setup values, but never any other filters.

So whats going on? It doesn't matter if I only just have one filter or a chain, and doesn't matter which filter it is. Looking at the .VCF file, it is correct. Remember the problem is on all computers with verious versions of VD & VDMOD. Is there a .DLL missing?

With one older version it says sylvia.dll is missing. I looked at postings at this forum on this subject, and where to get this .DLL but it is never there.

Hope you can be some help on this.

I´m sorry, I still don´t see what you mean.
You´re building a filter chain, and other settings - what settings exactly? Then you´re saving it as VCF and, when loading it again, you only get errors.

I just tried to load a VCF file and it worked, so I´m apparently missing something.

Wait a second - do you load it via menu, or something else?

OK I have spent most of the day working out the solution or I should I say a work around. The problem lies I think in some filters not written correctly, and or a bug in VD & VDMOD. Using VDMOD 1.5.10, I added one filter at a time.

Loading the VCF file without the source being present results with a stream error message. Depending on the filter being used, either it will import, or you will have an error message with some filters being loaded or none. Also the filter values will be incorrect

So here is the raw .VCF file that is unmodified and doesn't work. This was created by VDMOD 1.5.10 and saved with [Save Processing Settings]

VirtualDub.RemoveInputStreams();
VirtualDub.video.DeleteComments(1);
VirtualDub.video.AdjustChapters(1);
VirtualDub.video.SetDepth(24,24);
VirtualDub.video.SetMode(3);
VirtualDub.video.SetFrameRate(0,1);
VirtualDub.video.SetIVTC(0,0,-1,0);
VirtualDub.video.SetCompression();
VirtualDub.video.filters.Clear();
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("Auto-Levels");
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("brightness-contrast-gamma [1.0]");
VirtualDub.video.filters.instance[1].Config(0, -27, 65, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("Alparysoft Deinterlace");
VirtualDub.video.filters.instance[2].Config(2, 16;
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("brightness-contrast-gamma");
VirtualDub.video.filters.instance[2].Config(0, -27, 93, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("radial luminance [2.1]");
VirtualDub.video.filters.instance[3].Config(17, 17, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 0);
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("RGB to YUV");
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("xsharpen (1.0 beta 2)");
VirtualDub.video.filters.instance[5].Config(255, 125);
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("YUV to RGB");
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("shadow smoother (0.7)");
VirtualDub.video.filters.instance[7].Config(8,1,0,1,1,1);
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("chroma noise reduction (1.1)");
VirtualDub.video.filters.instance[8].Config(1, 192, 35, 0, 256, 47, 0, 256, 47, 0);

Below is what will work even if a source file isn't load. On some filters, I had to eliminate [instance call line] and on some filters to eliminate the error message, or the in correct setup values inputted to the filter


VirtualDub.video.SetDepth(24,24);
VirtualDub.video.SetMode(3);
VirtualDub.video.SetFrameRate(0,1);
VirtualDub.video.SetIVTC(0,0,-1,0);
VirtualDub.video.SetCompression(0x6461656c,0,10000,0);
VirtualDub.video.SetCompData(16,"TEVBRAUAAAACAAAABAAAAA==");
VirtualDub.video.filters.Clear();
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("Auto-Levels");
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("brightness-contrast-gamma [1.0]");
VirtualDub.video.filters.instance[1].Config(0, -27, 65, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("Alparysoft Deinterlace");
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("radial luminance [2.1]");
VirtualDub.video.filters.instance[3].Config(17, 17, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 0);
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("RGB to YUV");
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("xsharpen (1.0 beta 2)");
VirtualDub.video.filters.instance[5].Config(255, 125);
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("YUV to RGB");
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("shadow smoother (0.7)");
VirtualDub.video.filters.instance[7].Config(8,1,0,1,1,1);
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("chroma noise reduction (1.1)");
VirtualDub.video.filters.instance[8].Config(1, 192, 35, 0, 256, 47, 0, 256, 47, 0);
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("chroma smoother");
VirtualDub.video.filters.instance[9].Config(3);
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("general convolution 3d v1.1");

It apperas to be a problem with the solution above, it should read

VirtualDub.video.SetDepth(24,24);
VirtualDub.video.SetMode(3);
VirtualDub.video.SetFrameRate(0,1);
VirtualDub.video.SetIVTC(0,0,-1,0);
VirtualDub.video.SetCompression(0x6461656c,0,10000,0);
VirtualDub.video.SetCompData(16,"TEVBRAUAAAACAAAABAAAAA==");
VirtualDub.video.filters.Clear();
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("Auto-Levels");
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("brightness-contrast-gamma [1.0]");
VirtualDub.video.filters.instance[1].Config(0, -27, 65, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("Alparysoft Deinterlace");
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("radial luminance [2.1]");
VirtualDub.video.filters.instance[3].Config(17, 17, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 0);
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("RGB to YUV");
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("xsharpen (1.0 beta 2)");
VirtualDub.video.filters.instance[5].Config(255, 125);
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("YUV to RGB");
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("shadow smoother (0.7)");
VirtualDub.video.filters.instance[7].Config(8,1,0,1,1,1);
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("chroma noise reduction (1.1)");
VirtualDub.video.filters.instance[8].Config(1, 192, 35, 0, 256, 47, 0, 256, 47, 0);
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("chroma smoother");
VirtualDub.video.filters.instance[9].Config(3);
VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("general convolution 3d v1.1");

This file will work on all my machines that have either VD or VDMOD 1.5.10 with or without source load Without modifacation, it is not backward compatable without editing.

I am still suprised that there are no postings about this problem. I have asked this question many times on several forums with no solutions.

If you have another way where all filters have the correct filter input values load, I would like to here from you.

Edit..........With this above changes, all my Dubman problems have been solved.
