AVISynth and VirtualDubMod

[Rajin Recoil]

For some reason the two of these aren't agreeing. Whenever I try to load a .avs file in VirtualDubMod, it tells me

Code: Select all

Avisynth open failure:
Avisynth: script open failed!

This isn't a whole lot of help for me. I've searched through the AVISynth FAQ, the VirtualDubMod forum, and this forum. None of them seem to have any solutions that work.

I've tried uninstalling VirtualDubMod, and AVISynth. I've also tried upgrading AVISynth from 2.5.5 to 2.5.6 and VirtualDubMod to 1.5.10.2 b2542.

My avs file looks like

Code: Select all

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Decomb521.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Msmooth.dll")
MPEG2Source("C:\Crest Of The Stars\Episode 01.d2v", idct=5, iPP=true)
Telecide(order=0, guide=1)
Decimate(quality=3)
MSmooth(threshold=2, strength=2)

The d2v file was created with DGIndex 1.4.8. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be great.[/code]

Are the paths to the plugins okay?

I'm not completely sure, but I think that plugins autoload when you put them in the plugins folder. The fact that you're trying to reload them may be causing the crash, or you got the names wrong.

You're right, as of 2.5.5, the plugins do auto load. But that doesn't seem to be the problem as VDM is still giving me the same error. I've modified my script to this:

Code: Select all

dgdecode_MPEG2Source("C:\Crest Of The Stars\Episode 01.d2v", idct=5, iPP=true)
decomb521_Telecide(order=0, guide=1)
decomb521_Decimate(quality=3)
msmooth_MSmooth(threshold=2, strength=2)

[Kariudo]

what type of processor do you have?
only P4 or later (athlon 64 3000+ and above I believe) can utilize idct greater than 3 IIRC

[Rajin Recoil]

I have an Intel Pentium 4 650 HT 3.4 ghz, so I'm fairly sure that's not the problem. For some reason, the script will play through media players, just not VirtualDubMod.

msmooth_MSmooth(threshold=2, strength=2)

strip out all the extra stuff and see if it loads. If it does, add lines in one at a time to see which is killing you.

[Rajin Recoil]

Didn't work, when I made an empty file, VDM just told me that the file was empty, the second that I put a '#' in, it started to give me the same error that I've always been getting.

Code: Select all

MPEG2Source("C:\Crest Of The Stars\Episode 01.d2v")

Just start out with that. Does this produce the error?

[Rajin Recoil]

It does. I also tried it as dgdecode_MPEG2Source, and that still generated the same error.

I've tried uninstalling VirtualDubMod, and AVISynth. I've also tried upgrading AVISynth from 2.5.5 to 2.5.6 and VirtualDubMod to 1.5.10.2 b2542.

1) try making another project file.
and/or
2) Use virtualdubmod and chose "load via avisynth."

Keep it simple, just get it to load. (eg: mpeg2source"c:\blah blah.d2v")
