DirectShowSource should work (or DSS2).
DirectShowSource just crashed MeguiVit all together every time.
But DSS2 worked. Avisynth now renders the preview pretty fast and displays the image with pixelated blocks or anything.
This was my script:
Code:
LoadPlugin("C:\meguIV\Avisynth 2.5\plugins\avss.dll")
dss2("C:\Users\Users\Desktop\filename.mkv", fps=29.97 )
QuickTGMC( Preset="Fast" )
Should anyone else have to deal with this type of source, interlaced VC-1 in m2ts files (HD-DVD, Blu-ray) I thought I'd just point out what I did.
1. Decrypted the Blu-ray.
2. Remuxed the largest of the m2ts files into an MKV container (eac3to for the AC3 audio) using the File Indexer bundled with MeguiVit.
3. Ensured that I had WMP 11 installed.
4. Installed the latest K-Lite Mega Codec Pack (7.7).
5. Set VC-1 to use wmv9 as decoder in
ffdshow video decoder configuration.
6. Checked
Microsoft as preferred DirectShow decoder for VC-1 in
Win7DSFilterTweaker 4.6.
7. Grabbed the DSS2 plugin file
avss.dll from Programs(x86)/K-Lite Codec Pack/Filters/Haali and copied it to my Avisynth plugins folder.
Now I was able to decode the VC-1 stream properly with this script, loading the plugin first and using DSS2 instead of regular DirectShowSource:
Code:
LoadPlugin("C:\meguIV\Avisynth 2.5\plugins\avss.dll")
dss2("C:\Users\Users\Desktop\filename.mkv", fps=29.97 )
QuickTGMC( Preset="Fast" )
I hope some you guys can use it.
However, there is one thing that struck me when playing back the sample I encoded, perhaps you know what this phenomena is.
In the two images I attached you see two consecutive frames, frame1 and frame2. In frame2 the bright red color leaves very noticeable strong colored artifacts, particularly near the edges of the girl's sleeve. It doesn't seem to be present when previewing the Avisynth script without deinterlacing but as soon I add QuickTGMC it becomes visible. I believe I read about this somewhere, is it a result of
color interlacing or is it just because the movement in the image is so great that the QuickTGMC has a hard time dealing with it? Apparantly there is nothing like this throughout the remainder of the movie, but then again there are no more scenes like this i.e. bright red, very great movement.
Lastly I'd just like to hear whether its fine to leave the threads at 0 (automatic) in your x264 presets? Because I am not pre-rendering but encoding directly to x264 due space issues. In the One-Click encoder of MeguiVit it was easy to just set the threads to your liking but since I am encoding this one manually I thought I'd ask. I am using a 2.2Ghz quad core i7 processor and while previewing the script above I quickly got the C++ runtime error if I advanced the frames too quickly or pulled the skimming slider back and forth.
