Basic avisynth commands not working

[Lounge Fly]

I haven't made an AMV in a few years and am trying to get avisynth to work and it's not cooperating with me.

I saved the avisynth formula on my computer that I have used tons of times and vdubmod is no longer recognizing the codes. The code I use is:

AVISource("F:\Smartripper Rips\filename.avs")
Telecide(order=1,guide=1)
Decimate(cycle=5, mode=2)
ConvertToRGB24()

and vdubmod will freeze and close out

or I'll use

mpeg2Source("F:\Smartripper Rips\hellsing\1\hellsing 1.d2v")
Telecide(order=1,guide=1)
Decimate(cycle=5, mode=2)
ConvertToRGB24()

and I'll get the error message:
AVI Synth Open Failure:
Evaluate: Unrecognized Exception
(F:\Smartripper Rips\hellsing\1\hellsing 1.avs, Line 2)

What am I doing wrong?

I think you should put...

Code: Select all

ConvertToYV12()

under WHATEVERSource("path to video")

[Kariudo]

it doesn't really matter where you put coverttoyv12() (so long as it's before anything that needs video in yv12 colorspace)

if you have warpsharp.dll in your plugins folder, it has been known to cause problems...so try taking it out.

uninstalling and re-installing the latest version may help

well I tried taking out warpsharp but that didn't change anything. Uninstalling and reinstalling what? The entire amvapp or avisynth?

I did uninstall the amvapp 1.2 and installed a new one today, but I dont know if there is a later version of avisynth that that one doesn't include. Should I try that?

[Lounge Fly]

or what about trying to edit an avs file in premiere 6.5 instead?

I'm getting a black screen when I open up the file in premiere. How can I fix that?

[Autraya]

try reinstalling avs and the plug-in for premiere?

[Lounge Fly]

maybe I installed decomb and mpeg2dec3 in the wrong directories? Where are those supposed to go again?
