The "Error Parsing AVS file: DirectShowSource" message likely indicates missing or incompatible DirectShow filters. Try reinstalling Haali Media Splitter and ffdshow, or switch to more reliable alternatives like LSMASHVideoSource or ffmpegsource2. These alternative sources offer better compatibility and frame accuracy compared to DirectShowSource. Be sure your source video format is supported by your chosen encoder and script settings.

Thank you for help.

That is interesting. Your video looks exactly like how it does on my TV/monitor.

I plan to buy RetroTHINK 5X-Pro. Hopefully it will give me 60FPS. I'd still need to capture it using Elgato tho. Even the preview on Elgato software is 30FPS.

My concern is if AverMedia does send all the frames (which it should since it is 60FPs on my TV/monitor) then the problem seems to be Elgato. But if RETROThink will also send it interlaced then Elgato will once again deinterlace it and halve the framerate.

They say it does have moniton adaptive deinterlacing https://www.retrotink.com/post/retrotink-5x-is-here Well, I hoped I'd be able to record it with what I already have since I currently enjoy the game and played it like 5 times in a row to learn where all the gold bolts and skill points are. But how Krew I Jak II says "Oh well....".

My understading of interlacing is that it shows basically half the previous and half the next frame (so it would make sense PS2 does give 60FPS since it already has the next frame ready to show) Before I posted my question I read that not every game on PS2 runs at 60FPS.

Thank you for your answer and happy new year.

Your setup deinterlaces 480i automatically, which results in halving the framerate. Lots of PS2 games play at 60fps but you need a way to capture it without your recording software deinterlacing it automatically like that, the best way is to use an upscaler that uses motion adaptive deinterlacing
Through my upscaler on real hardware it gives me 60fps during gameplay on the recording

Hello.

I'd like to record some PS2 games. I used my AverMedia Capute Card that has Component input to convert it from Component -> HDMI and then I used Elgato Capture Card (that I normally use for capture) to capture the actual footage.

So I go PS2 - AverMedia Capture Card (Component Input) - Elgato Capture Card (HDMI) - TV/Monitor

But when I look at the recorded video it is 59.94FPS but it's actually 30FPS (every second frame is a duplicate).

I specifically want to record Ractech and Clank PS2 and there already is a PS2 longplay of Ratchet and Clank and when I downloaded it, it's actually 59.94FPS (every frame seems to unique). So how come? Did the longpalyer use Emulator? Or is something wrong on my side?

My Elgato software says the source is 48i59 and the video is 720x480 59.94FPS. There is overscan so if I'd crop that out, I assume I'd get 640x448 (just as the longplayer's vid resolution is).

But the main problem is why do I get 30 unique frames and the longplayer does have 60 (or 59.940...) unqiue ones? It would make sense, PS2 usually does render only 30FPS.

If he is using emulator then fine but when I play the game it really does feel like 60 unique FPS on my monitor/TV. I don't like emulators, they make the game look different from what it actually does look like on the actual console and it's often buggy or drops frames.

I assumed you want to open mp4 file. But I see you want to encode the video to mp4.

If your source video file is in avi format, just use AviSource function
AviSource("video.avi"

Also what I wrote in my previous answer is just what I google. I did use DirectShowSource to encode mp4 files before for my PS3/PSP/PS4 longplays and I did not have this problem you are having (as far as i know - it's been few years) but I know I had Halli Media Splitter installed. It might need some slight adjusting in the settings if it still won't work (probably enabling the mp4/mkv format or whatever is the source video format you want to encode).

I'm encoding mp4 files right now and when I tried to use DirectShowSource I had the same error as you. That's how I found out about the solution above. I eventually used LibavVideoSource which works just fine.

Thanks bro, I appreciate your help!! I will try to reinstall those components.

You are probably missing splitters/filters or have them disabled.

Try opening the video file using Windows Media Player - it probably won't play it.

So you can either install Haali Media Splitter and ffdshow or you can use different filter (which should be preffered).

For example LSMASHVideoSource / LWLibavVideoSource or ffmpegsource2 / ffvideosource.
Download links are on the wiki page including examples of how to use them. These two are better than DirectShowSource because they are more reliable and frame accurate.

Here is some additional information about importing media.

Hi everyone!
I am trying to encode videos using MeGUI and convert them to MP4, but when I open the AviSynth script directly on MeGUI, it keeps saying Error Parsing AVS file:
DirectShowSource; Could not open as video or audio/ Error not specified.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this situation?

Hi, I've been looking for a similar converter on the Internet for a long time, but I still couldn't find what I needed. Usually, when changing the format, I saw that the video stopped compressing, and its quality dropped greatly. I recently learned about Movavi. I have never heard of this video converter, but my friend advised me to use it when changing the MP4 to AVI format. I was initially skeptical because I expected the video quality to drop, as is inherent in alternative converters. Still, I was very surprised when the video quality almost did not change when changing the format. It shocked me at that moment.

I want to download the original full longplay.
I'm a fan of longplays, and like to collect some of them from time to time (especially if it's a fav of mine). And also sometimes I use them as screensavers or video wallpapers.

Is there another archive site for the original video file?
If not, can someone please re-upload this longplay?

Thanks a lot!

For games, they doesn't support progressive scan, i could use two methods, the left is using OBS Studio, the right is Elgato Game Capture HD and re-encoding the TS file with Handbrake. I demonstrated that with WALL-E, they doesn't support progressive scan on PAL.
