filesize prediction after decimate

*bump* 

hi manono, i couldn't get this working yet. here's what i tried.. i have a dec.avs containing: LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\mpeg2dec3.dll") mpeg2source("C:\waking life (100m)\movie 16-9\film.d2v") SelectEven() this gets the frames i want, the d2v was force-filmed which worked beautifully but there are dupes every second frame (and for some reason the Even() frames appeared to be slightly cleaner than the Odd() frames) then i have a film.avs containing: LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\mpeg2dec3.dll") LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\undot.dll") avisource("C:\waking life (100m)\movie 16-9\dec.avs") crop(4,8,712,460) BicubicResize(576,304,0.333,0.333) Undot() the first frameserve works but the second one doesn't, it is just 100 minutes of green screen. stupidly, i did the encode before checking the framserver was working and the output 1:40:06 long avi file was only 6 meg, but it still took 5 hours to encode :rolleyes:

Nested .avs files doesn't currently work with YV12 colorspace. Add a "Converttoyuy2()" to the first script, and that should get rid of your green screen phenomenon.

Hi- Sorry, my fault. I didn't mean for you to encode from the second one, but just to use it to get the bitrate. Encode from your first .avs (after also including the crop, resize, and Undot). Or try jggimi's suggestion. You sure take a long time before following up on your posts. :)

Hi- There's a theoretical quality loss when converting colorspaces. Question 7 from the says: - no color conversions: The colour information doesn't get interpolated (so often) and thus stays more realistic. But having said that, the difference must be small, because I can't see it. There could be several reasons why you came out oversized I suppose, but the one that springs to mind is the overhead. In addition to filling in the audio size, in the Interleaving & AVI-Overhead box, did you make sure to tick the correct line?
