VLC doesn' t play AVS file (Avisynth)

Postby Mario222222 » 08 May 2006 09:56

Hello

I using vlc, but i it can' t play avs file (file avisynth). I tried Media player classic and it can play avs.

So I ask: Will VLC support avs file? Or now it support avs, and i can' t open it because i am a newbie?

Yes, if you want i can upload an avs file to you, but AviSynth works as a frameserver, so an avs file is only a script text file, like this

loadplugin("mpeg2decoder.dll")
mpeg2source("source.m2v")
bilinearresize(720,576)

Mario222222 did u find a solution?

I have exactly the same problem and I cant find anything in google about it.

VLC looks really nice, but my avs scripts, well, i just can't do without them :lol:

AVS scripts play in most players (Media Player Classic, ZoomPlayer etc) why they dont play in VLC? :(

Because VLC is not a Windows DirectShow player.

Further below in the link you can see how avs reading was included into ffmpeg for supporting avisynth script text file playback.

http://www.nurs.or.jp/~calcium/3gpp/sources/
Its called avsredirect.dll and sources are included.

This Code imho easely could be added to VLC so that type of input also could be supported :)

What ever happened to this? VLC still doesn't play AVS files. It would be so great if it could.

If VLC could take AVS it would be awesome!

I would like to see AVS suport too.
3D video is coming.
Experimental 2D to 3D conversion can be found on:
http://3dvision-blog.com/2d-to-3d-realt ... nth-v0-2b/

In this AVS script just rename input file, and with # get output format.
This is only concept for 2D to 3D conversion.
When movie is in motion, some effect of 3D is here.
My own try with picture conversion use error from focus camera lens detection and this will improve this effect.
Just differentiation on R,G,B value and detect line thickness can say some information about depth (because of out-of-focus detail on picture).

Please, it will be good to see AVS suport in VLC, and it will be good to see 3D inplementation in VLC too.
It could be good start for your player.

Today can be easy to play video in 3D with cheap Viewsonic PJD 6211 3D ready projector (example) and with XpanD X102 glasses (system withouth emiter, because TI DLP 3D on chip implementation: DLP-link white screen flash).
I like DLP-link simplicity (no need for transmitter).

You can be the best video player if implement something like this 3D stuff.

+1 for avs support. I know ffplay (part of ffmpeg) and mplayer for windows can each play .avs files.
This would allow it not only to take avs input, but also avs itself can wrap arbirary ".grf" graph files, and also can take input from directshow input filters, whereas VLC currently can only take input from DirectShow capture sources currently, so extra functionality there...
Cheers!

AVFS - Avisynth Virtual File System seems to bridge the gap pretty well.
http://turtlewar.org/avfs/

AVFS is a virtual file system that exposes the output of Avisynth scripts through the file system as a set of virtual media files. This allows Avisynth to feed media applications and converters that do not use the VFW API. It also allows accessing Avisynth script output through network shares, and allows mixed use of 32 bit and 64 bit video processing and consuming applications.

AVFS uses the Pismo File Mount Windows system extension. This extension enables user mode file system development on Windows.

You do need to use a cmd window to mount the avs script file for use by VLC. The AVS instructions are reasonably clear:

To mount an Avisynth AVS script, from a cmd.exe prompt run:

>avfs somescriptfile.avs
