Trimming in Avisynth

blaze077 · Post by **blaze077** » Tue Apr 19, 2016 11:48 pm

I tried trimming a video and returning it but the script just gives me an error: "Invalid arguments to function Trim."

vid="C:\Users\Naval Wing\Desktop\memeless.m2ts"
aud="C:\Users\Naval Wing\Desktop\memeless.m2ts"
ep=FFIndex(vid) AudioDub(FFVideoSource(vid), FFAudioSource(vid)).tDecimate()
a=ep.Trim(0, 100)
a

When I tried the same thing except this time with DSS, the script worked fine.
Can someone help me?

In your script AviSynth reads FFIndex(vid), sees the space, then ignores everything after that and passes FFIndex(vid) into ep. Since FFIndex(vid) is not a clip it cannot be trimmed. This would be a better layout for your script:

Code: Select all

vid="C:\Users\Naval Wing\Desktop\memeless.m2ts"
FFIndex(vid)
ep=AudioDub(FFVideoSource(vid), FFAudioSource(vid)).tDecimate()
ep.Trim(0, 100)

Note: I took out the aud value because it wasn't needed. I also took out the whole bit with a because that wasn't needed as well as you could either simply do ep.Trim(0,100) or return ep.Trim(0,100).

I have to ask, why are you using tdecimate()? It doesn't appear that you are removing interlacing and if the clip is 29.97fps progressive then removing frames would make it choppy.

Thank you for the answer. I understand now.

And sorry for the confusion. I was trying out lots of things so I didn't add tfm() as I simply wanted to try and trim first. Thank you again.

It is indeed interlaced 29.97 FPS and I just need to IVTC. Sorry for the double posts.

Is this Blu-ray or TV stream? h.264 or MPEG-2?

It is a TV Stream. I think it is MPEG-2 (or just "MPEG")? Well, I know that it something that was originally progressive and was telecined for TV Broadcast.

Spoiler :

I tried it out by doing what you did and now it works great. Thank you.

Why not just use DGIndex on it to make a d2v?

Sorry, I hadn't been able to learn more and use this site for a while due to work. I just made my first encode from a DVD source yesterday so I used DGIndex for the first time too and it's very easy to use and provides great info on the video. I'll definitely use it from now on. Thank you for the help with the script.
