Error using ML HDR Workflow

[pinxos]

Hi,
I'm trying to use the ML HDR workflow but keep getting an error.
Installed the software OK, copied an ML HDR movie to the AviSynth 2.5 directory as RAW.MOV.
Eun the main.cmd script, Virtual Dub runs and I can see the mvie frames but when it reaches the final frame I get an error dialogue box:-
Cannot open file "C000000.jpg": The system cannot find the file specified


What am I doing wrong??

This workflow is made a year ago. Did you install Avisynth110525.exe from the avisynth folder?

Maybe you get better results from this service: http://hdr.glogger.mobi/upload_hdr.php

Researching new hdr post workflow options is on my todo list for a while.

Yes, I installed everything, Even tried re-installing avisynth. the DOS window shows the following commands mes when the second one starts:-

L:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5>VirtualDub\VirtualDub /x /s scripts\hdr_split.vcf


L:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5>call scripts\enfuse_all_frames.cmd

I used this software recently and had no problems.

I noticed that you put the raw.mov file in the Avisynth 2.5 directory.  This is wrong, the raw.mov files goes in the main directory along with the main.cmd file.

It could well be you are running Avisynth 2.6 alpha and that may be the problem. The link provided above to AVISynth_110525.exe  is the 2.6 alpha, Sourceforge's Avisynth setup is well stuffed up, so easy to download 2.6 alpha rather than 2.5.

Try this link:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/avisynth2/files/AviSynth%202.5/AviSynth%202.5.8/

Then before trying to use the HDR script do a simple script to check all is working, make sure you have ffmpegsource2 in the plugins folder:

http://code.google.com/p/ffmpegsource/downloads/detail?name=ffms-2.17.7z

Then in a text file create test.avs, with this one line:

ffmpegsource2("myvid.mov", threads=1)

Drag into Virtualdub and see if you get a preview.

Have got the link to the HDR script you're using, been a long time since I used the feature, here's my attempt, using a different Avisynth route on my blog:

Hi, please tell me where can I find details about the workflow needed to get a HDR video from a flickering one. Thanks in advance,

I also had the same problem and the solution is pretty simple: don't name your file "RAW.MOV", but just "RAW"

That's all!

Hope it helps...
