Trouble loading .avs file from AviSynth

topgamer101 · Post by **topgamer101** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 12:14 pm

I read one of the guides on the site. VicBond I believe. Anyway, I type out all the things in notepad as suggested and save the .avs file. Everytime I try and load it however, it gives me an error message in VD. It says the following:

AviSynth open failure:
(A bunch of letters and symbols I can't type out)
Then it gives the destination to the .avs file and then line 1.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong to make this show up in virtual dub?

If what your refering to is what I think, here it is.

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth2.5\plugins\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth2.5\plugins\Decomb521.dll")
MPEG2Source("c:\HELLSING_ULTIMATE_LE_VOL_01.d2v", idct=5, CPU=4, ipp=true)
Telecide(Order=0, post=4, guide=1)
Decimate(quality=3)

you shouldn't need the loadplugin lines since you're using avisynth 2.5.x and the plugins are in the plugins folder.
try taking those out.

make sure that your cpu has the SSE2 instruction set too (if you're not sure, get cpu-z) if it doesn't, then you can't use idct=5

Ok, ty. I'll try your idea.

Ok next problem...

Now I get an error message the exact same as before, however the second line reads as...

MPEG2Source: Could not open file

Here is the line once again...

MPEG2Source("c:\HELLSING_ULTIMATE_LE_VOL_01.d2v", idct=5, CPU=4, ipp=true)

I'm going to give your second idea a try next and get that thing you said. any other suggestions are appreciated.

your d2v might be invalid, try making it again and don't move the d2v file once it's been made

I'll do just that. don't think I've moved it since I made it but I'll redo it.

On a side note, Video recorded through the computer doesn't register in my editing program. Is there a way around that or did Microsoft put that in place for that very reason?

On another side note, I just thought there might be a problem with the .d2v file.

Basically all I do is load them into the program and immediately save them into a .d2v file. If I'm supposed to be doing something more during this step I must have missed it.

It takes a while to write the .d2v file. Maybe you're closing the program too soon?
