Introduction:
This program is designed to add additional input formats to programs who
can read AVI files. This program adds a new input engine to the existing
programs and feeds the video/audio through the already implemented AVI interface.
Currently my program is designed in such a way that it adds support for
Avisynth, Virtualdub frame
server files and AVI files with and without compressed audio. So this tools
enables you to e.g. read Avisynth files in any program that reads AVI files
(Like Premiere, CCE SP, Ulead Media Studio Pro )
Common applications:
Import / Encode your Avisynth scripts in
know editing programs and/or encoders like Premiere, Ulead Media Studio
Pro, Cinemacraft Encoder (CCE), Ligos, Windows Media encoder and
Cleaner. Besides this, it enables you to import MPEG/DVD material
in your encoder/editing programs in a combination with other programs.
(See guides section). Above all, this tool enables you to frame serve
from Virtualdub directly to any encoder or editing program. Detailed
information about this can be found in the guides section.
Installation:
Unzip the files for Link2, aviwrap.dll and aviwrap.inf into the directory
c:\link2. (do NOT use long directory names with running W9x). Launch
the Windows Explorer and select the aviwrap.inf script. Press the most
left mouse button and select install. This installs the AVIwrapper code.
Now you can run the Link2.exe program from any location you want.
Tested operating systems:
I have personally tested it on Windows 98, NT4, Windows 2000 and XP. So
this should be no problem.
Tested programs:
- Cinema craft SP v 2.62
- Cinema craft SP v 2.64
- Ligos MPEG-Suite 2.0
- Premiere v6.0x
- Premiere v5.x
- Ulead Media Studio Pro v6.5
- Cleaner 5 - RealSystem Edition
- Windows Media Encoder v8
- TMPGenc V 2.02.31.119
- Window Media Player
Known problems:
- Premiere v6.0x in combination with Windows XP is not able to read
WRPR AVI files without the RAW audio mode enabled. If you experience
instabilities when reading the WRPR AVI files, please enable the
RAW audio mode within the Link2 program
- Avisynth in combination with some installations of Windows and applications
is not able to handle the audio correctly when wrapped into a WRPR AVI
file. Please enable the RAW audio mode, if you experience problems.
