AviSynth

Introduction

Avisynth rocks my socks.

Installation / plugins

Go to http://www.avisynth.org/ and download the latest non-alpha version of Avisynth. It is currently at 2.5.6a. Install the program.

With Avisynth installed, go to Start menu -> [All] Programs -> Avisynth -> Plugin Directory. This will open the directory where Avisynth stores its plugins. Copy the files from inside the avisynth plugins zip file to the avisynth plugins directory window you just opened.

The avisynth script

The work folder for this guide is "C:\Program Files\video processing\" where all source files are located.

Create a .txt document with a name of your choice, we'll name it vob. Rename the extension from .txt to .avs. If you can't see the extension and are running in Windows, open Windows Explorer, go to Tools -> Folder Options -> View and uncheck "Hide extensions for known filetypes".

Open vob.avs in Notepad or any text editor.

Part 1: Loading the plugins

Depending on what kind of source material you have, there will be some plugins you don't use. It doesn't hurt to load them though. Mvbob's extension is .avsi so it will automatically be loaded. Copy the following code into vob.avs. Change the file paths if needed.

Loadplugin("C:\Program Files\DGMPGDec\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\LeakKernelDeint.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\ac3source.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\mpasource.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\ac3source.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Warpsharp.dll")
