Mine won't open Handbrake.

:-(

Like a charm. No more spending time doing interim renders to HB.

Grazie

On some systems with the given batch file "start_vegas2handbrake.bat" there is a problem caused by the ping commands. VidMus offered a modified version of that batch file which gets rid of the ping commands.

So in case the given batch file causes a problem, you should try replacing it with VidMus' version. I still haven't had the time to update the webpage but you can download VidMus corrected version of the batch file -> here (download, unzip and replace).

This script process Marco came up with is amazing! Really brings Vegas into new territory and it's 100% reliable on my system.

Amazing and very generous work!!!

Still back here with V9. So the scripting language changed somewhere around 10-11? Oh, well.

Can anyone decipher where I went wrong?

Microsoft.JScript.Vsa.JSVsaException: UnknownError (0x801330FF): System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The system cannot find the file specified

Which Vegas version do you use?

Sorry I didn't mention that, Marco. I'm using Vegas Pro 13. Thanks.

To me this then sounds like a .Net Framework issue. Do other Vegas Pro scripts work fine? Maybe reinstalling .Net Framework helps (but this is just a guess).

Having trouble with this install. I have Handbrake installed. I downloaded and installed Debugmode. It doesn't show up in the Render As dialogue as indicated in the install instructions. I get a install box during the install process with several boxes that can be checked including: choosing Vegas Pro 32 or 64 bit, install Vegas plug-in, etc. I checked Vegas 64-bit and install the Vegas plug-in. Then launched Vegas and tried to render a project (to set the Debugmode parameters) but no Debugmode choice shows up in the render choices. Uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times. Still no joy. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for some help.

It looks like you either installed the wrong FrameServer version (it should be version 2.14 for Vegas Pro 12) or you installed into the wrong program folder path. You must be careful with FrameServer 2.14 because if you don't modify the installation path it will use a path for Vegas Pro 11.

Point the 64bit Debugmode install to the C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas Pro 12.0, not the "Program Files(x86)" folder.
My scripts aren't showing up, but haven't rebooted yet. Not sure if I should copy the contents of the "frameserve_scripts" folder or the folder itself to the Script Menu folder.

I'll try that. Thanks.

Same result after reinstall of NET Frameserver. I'm going to uninstall all and try again. Maybe I tripped up somewhere.

Mine will start frameserving correctly, but it never opens up Handbrake. When I open Handbrake manually, I cannot force it to open the framserve .avi file.

What am I doing wrong.

Also, virtualdub will open the frameserve file.

Thanks,

Keith

Did you try using the new modified batch file linked in my first post of this thread?

I've tried both.

Thanks.

I had similar issues, I was installing the FrameServer app in the default path but needed to install it in the Vegas 12 folder.

- At DebugMode FrameServer Setup: Installation Options screen, Select: Sony Vegas (64-bit) Plugin. Click: Next
- Install FrameServer in the root "C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas Pro 12.0" folder.
- Install frameserve_scripte in the "C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas Pro 12.0\Script Menu\" folder.

Also, depending on which batch file you're using you'll need to have a network connection for it to work or use VidMus' revised script that doesn't need an internet connection:

timeout /t 2 /nobreak
start "" "C:\frameserver\batch\enter.exe"
timeout /t 2 /nobreak
:vegasavi
for /f %%i in ("C:\frameserver\source\vegas.avi") do if %%~zi gtr 160000 goto checkframeserver
timeout /t 2 /nobreak
goto vegasavi
:checkframeserver
for %%F in ("C:\frameserver\source\vegas.avi") do set filesize1=%%~zF
timeout /t 2 /nobreak
for %%F in ("C:\frameserver\source\vegas.avi") do set filesize2=%%~zF
if %filesize2% gtr %filesize1% goto checkframeserver
:avfs
pfm register C:\frameserver\avfs.dll
timeout /t 2 /nobreak
pfm mount C:\frameserver\vegas.avs
timeout /t 2 /nobreak
:handbrake
for /f %%i in ("C:\frameserver\vegas.avs\vegas.avi") do if %%~zi gtr 160000 goto hbstart
timeout /t 2 /nobreak
goto handbrake
:hbstart
start handbrake "C:\frameserver\vegas.avs\vegas.avi"
:waitforhandbrake
timeout /t 2 /nobreak
tasklist | findstr /i "Handbrake.exe"
if %errorlevel%==0 goto stop
goto waitforhandbrake
:stop
start "" "C:\frameserver\batch\stop_render.exe"

I am trying to frameserve (version 2.15 ) a 4K xavc s file (3840 X 2160/ 29.970 fps) to handbrake via VP13 to resize to 1920 X 1080 for Blu Ray mpeg2. Handbrake opens, receives and scans the incoming info from frameserve, then goes into a "ready" state, but there is nothing available to render. When I click Start (in Handbrake), the error message reads: You must first scan a source and set up your job before starting an encode. Anyone know what I am missing or doing wrong?

I don't think Handbrake will encode to mpeg 2 - I think it only puts out MP4 or M4v files.
