AviSynth Problem

Lain is Lain · Post by **Lain is Lain** » Sat Jan 18, 2003 5:33 am

Need some help getting avisynth to play at all. Every time I load one it says "Unrecognized exception! e:\asdf.avs, line 1".
Line 1 in my AVS file says "mpeg2source("e:\asdf.d2v")"

What the crap is going on??
I've installed the AMVapp stuff and avisynth 2.0.7.
I've followed the direction for making a DVD2AVI project file very carefully but still can't get it to work. This was all working fine until I went back to Win2k from WinXP. Am I missing something to make it work? Do I have to have Media Player 8 like in WinXP. I have 7.01 right now on Win2k.

P.S. I can get the "AviSource" command to work on an AVI test file just fine. So what's up with my Mpeg2 stuff???

Make sure that the first line of your script is:

Code: Select all

LoadPlugin("c:\m2d\mpeg2dec.dll")

Or whatever path you have your mpeg2dec dll. Also a good read of the guides will help you a lot in solving most of the issues

Hope this helps

You don't need that if you have 2.05 or over.

MPEG2SOURCE("E:\asdf.d2v")

That's what the AVISynth file should look like, save as an *.avs.

If that doesn't work, try remaking the D2V with DVD2AVI 1.86. Works for everybody else. (You can find it on Doom9's Software Page)

I've ran into avisynth problems over the past couple of days trying to get .d2v files for Slayers and Love Hina... My solution: try different versions of DVD2AVI, I used BOTH 1.76 and 1.86 (Slayers .d2v file would only work after using 1.86 and with Love Hina I had to use 1.76, it didn't work with 1.86). So play around with the different versions and see what happens... it seems that newer isn't always better...

That worked!!

Kinda. It works and plays but It's not smooth and clear like Win XP was. I don't know the answer to that one but It does work with 1.76. Thank you Thank you!!!!

Can any shed some light on why this is?

Actually, there might be a reason for this... hmm, and it might be something that can be fixed in the amvapp. Oh my god, I can't believe all this time it WAS an amv app problem.

I don't know why I didn't spot this before.. doh!!

The version that is shipped with the amvapp IS version 1.76 - which is the version that worked. Which made me wonder what was going on and why it didnt work before for you... but I have the answer.

I'm looking at the dvd2avi installation included in the amvapp now and there is one thing I notice - it comes with a configuration ini called dvd2avi.ini...

Now, checking the original dvd2avi zip file I see that this configuration ini doesn't usually ship with dvd2avi... so why is it there? Well, it seems this ini is created after the first time you use the program. This means that the ini is a config setup designed for MY computer - an AMD-based win2k machine.... and probably a good reason as to why it doesnt work on some other systems!!! I must have copied it there from my dvd2avi directory. Geh.

So, the answer to the DVD2AVI problems if you have the amvapp, delete the file AMVapp/dvd2avi/dvd2avi.ini and when you run dvd2avi it will recreate this ini correctly. See, that config file will effect the d2v file and cause the unrecognized exception... or that's my theory at least.

I'll update the amvapp to fix this problem - sorry everyone... I just thought it was some odd XP and 1.76 incompatibility so I didn't spot it earlier.
