VapourSynth - AviSynth-Alternative

VapourSynth ist eine neu entstandene Alternative zu AviSynth. Als Skriptsprache dient Python und ist damit mächtiger, als die AviSynth-Eigenentwicklung. Zusätzlich wird hier von Anfang auf Multithreading geachtet, welches bereits jetzt mit einigen AviSynth-Plugins (welche sich teilweise in VapourSynth laden lassen) schneller funktioniert als mit dem Original. Es ist noch sehr unfertig und verfügt z.B. noch über keine Möglichkeit es direkt in Programmen wie VirtualDub zu laden, so daß man auf pipes ausweichen muß. Es ist cross-platform-ausgelegt, kann beliebige Farbräume verwalten, unterstützt wechselnde Auflösungen und unendliche Skripte.

r13:
enabled another part of the cache size adjustment, cache sizes will now be aggressively reduced to keep framebuffer memory use below 1GB
filters can now get passed zero length arrays, the rewritten parts also improves argument handling in python (integer types now get converted to float implicitly when passed as a function argument)
added right click\new\vapoursynth script shortcut to the installer
make the number of frames in progress equal the number of threads, this should always be the upper beneficial value for any script, previously it was fixed at 10
fixed a rowsize bug in avisynth compatibility and implemented the subframe functions
added PEMVerify, a function to check for out of bounds values in filter output for developers
added PlaneDifference and PlaneAverage functions for use in conditional filtering
added copy(), and get_write_ptr() to clips in python, renamed get_data() to get_read_ptr()
greatly improved the handling of SelectClip and ModifyFrame (formerly ModifyProps), conditional filtering is now something that's usable
using ModifyFrame and a bit of cleverness it is now possible to implement fairly complex filters in python

r14:
fixed setting the pixel values in blankclip
a collection of ported/new filters are now bundled (eedi3, vivtc, histogram and temporalsoften)
all examples and headers needed to write a new filter are now included in the installer
fixed a frame data alignment issue in VSFS
added vivtc (aka tivtc lite) to the included filters
the fpu state check now only outputs a warning instead of terminating (this is until I've been able to locate why certain people trigger it)
users can now set the cache size limit over which vs aggressively starts to decrease cache size, use core.set_max_cache_size(number of MB) (the memory use is calculated from the combined size of all framebuffers allocated)
fixed memory leaks in PlaneDifference and PlaneAverage

r15:
documented all the predefined frame properties and all important python classes
fixed iterating over clips in python
allocate memory per plane instead of in one big lump, this allows planes to be copied by reference using the newVideoFrame2() function and will also reduce memory usage slightly for filters that use it
fixed infinite loop in lut and lut2 when used with 9 bit input or more
added ClipToProp and PropToClip functions, they allow one clip to be attached to another clip as frame properties
fixed a reference leak in vivtc
ported avisource from avisynth, it has been thoroughly upgraded and can understand several high bitdepth formats including v210 which many "professional" codecs use, it is also based on the latest vdub parser code now
added len() support for clips in python
fixed a bug with plugin functions having array output in python
improved the api so that a single node/filter can produce several output clips, this bumps the api version to r3 (r2 plugins are still binary compatible but the r2 abi will also be removed in a version or two)

r17:
the installer will now register and unregister the vsfs dll if selected (pismo file mount must of course be installed at the time for it to work)
cleaned up the asm in the transpose filter
fixed python detection in the installer if it was installed for a single user
vdecimate can now accept up to 16 bit integer input and all color formats (jackoneill)
fixed a bug that made the array for storing metrics uninitialized at the end in vdecimate leading to random decisions (jackoneill)
added an inappropriately named subtitle filter based on libass (lachs0r)
EEDI3 has now been changed into pure C (jackoneill)
it is now possible to have the warning/error messages handled by a user specified callback function
added a check for the SSE state so plugins cannot modify it without it being noticed (similar to the FPU and MMX checks)
fixed that two plugins could be loaded into the same namespace
fixed some issues with argument handling in python due to exceptions not being propagated properly
added the Expr filter, it can evaluate an expression per pixel during runtime for 1-3 input clips
fixed a clip reference leak introduced in R15 with the multiple clip output changes
fixed AVISource crashes due to RGB output not being properly initialized
fixed the upper memory limit check
fixed callback functions hanging in vfw and vsfs
changed the license of all files to LGPL, previously a few of them were MIT licensed

r18:
the installer no longer asks for the installation type since there's only one option anyway
vdecimate now returns and decimates the frames in the last incomplete cycle as well
fixed a bug that prevented mask scaling from working in MaskedMerge
fixed a bug in VSFS that made the module crash on script errors, the full error message is now reported in a log file just like AVFS
improved the error message when the last variable hasn't been set in a script
changed default interleave behavior to match avisynth, the old and in some cases desirable behavior can be selected with the extend argument
added color argument to addborders
fixed addborders for formats with over 8 bits per sample
blankclip can now produce float clips
fixed/at least greatly reduced the big memory leak when reopening a script through vfw

Wichtige Änderungen bei der Benutzung:
1. "core = vs.Core()" wird zu "core = vs.get_core()"
2. Die direkte Steuerung der Ausgabe übers Skript wurde verworfen und man braucht jetzt wie ähnlich wie bei AviSynth ein Pipe-Programm ("vspipe" - wird mitgeliefert) für die raw/y4m-Ausgabe. Man braucht also nicht mehr am Skript selbst etwas verändern, allerdings muß am Ende eines Skriptes nun ein "clip.set_output()" stehen.

known issues:
compatrgb32 may be flipped when output (use FlipVertical as a workaround)

r19:
lut/lut2 now processes all planes by default
ported to work on arm and powerpc (Zor)
fixed 9-16 bit format support in Expr
properly initialize color in addborders to 0
calls to the getFrame() function inside vapoursynth can never deadlock now, the thread handling is also slightly improved
fixed a bug in the cache that would stop it from freeing all its frames when memory is needed, fixes an out of memory error reported by Chikuzen
output is no longer determined by setting the last variable in __main__, instead clip.set_output(int index = 0) is used to set which clip(s) are exported
fixed some memory leaks in the internal filters when they're freed (jackoneill)
now properly initializes blankclips to all 0 when no values are given
added proper const declarations now that cython supports it, cython 0.18 or later required to build the extension now
fixed get_write_ptr() in python to actually return a write pointer
fixed the lut and lut2 filters for > 8 bit formats (ADub)
various minor fixes to vivtc
removed clip.output() since it's a bad design decision, now a command-line program called vspipe can be used to pipe or write raw video output
renamed newMap() to createMap() to match the naming of all other functions
added core.get_plugins() for the core and core.namepace.get_functions() for namespaces, it works similarly to list_functions() but instead returns the information in a dict
removed the unmentioned and unused link option for filter arguments as it is completely pointless and similar functionality may be implemented anyway
there's now a sane external api available for *****ding in other applications, see vsscript.h and vsvfw for an example
now a singleton pattern is used for the core in python scripts, use vs.get_core() to get a reference to it
clip.get_frame() now throws an exception when out of bounds frames are requested
fixes a reference leak in the VideoProps python class
now ignores functions with . in their argument string for avisynth compatibility, this makes warpsharp mostly compatible
