*sigh* Premiere, why hast thou forsaken me...

Er, sorry if that offended anyone...

Anyhow, I went through ErMac's guide to editing AVS files in Premiere, and got through all his steps just fine. The only problem is, when I try to view the AVS file, it just displays the whole clip as a filled orange box. I did all the "square pixel" steps and stuff, and resized the monitor window and clip view window to 720x480, and tried opening the AVS file in Windows Media Player, which did display it correctly, just quite choppy. I'm quite confused at this point, as this isn't mentioned in the guide or anywhere that I saw in the forums...

did you choose YUV in dvd2avi?

I think this problem occurs if you've chosen RGB by mistake. If you want to test it out, try adding:

ConverttoYUY2

to your script and see if it helps - if not check your dvd2avi settings again.

This... is... odd. I tried doing as you suggested, and inserted the line in my AVS file. Premiere said it didn't know what that instruction meant, so I took it out of the AVS to double-check my original file, and it seems to work now. Anyhow, thanks for the advice ^_^

If all else fails blame Bill Gates.

Okay, sorry to bring that back up to the top, but I have narrowed down the problem a bit. Video plays fine in Premiere if I don't have the following lines in my AVS file:

LoadPlugin("C:\DVD\Decomb\Decomb.dll")
Telecide()
Decimate(5)

They're straight from ErMac's guide, so I don't see why it doesn't work. If I take those lines out, then Premiere will read the file correctly and display the right video, but if those lines are included in the AVS file, Premiere just shows a filled orange screen where the video should be. Any help would be much appreciated.

um... do you actually have the decomb plugin or did you just put the lines into your file without actually getting it?

*sigh* I don't think i'm that much a newbie ^_^

I do have the Decomb dll, and the text does point to the right place.

well, see there's nothing wrong with those decomb settings which made me think you might not have actually downloaded it.

There's no reason why it shouldn't work with the decomb stuff - especially if it works in media player.

actually, can you post the entire avisynth script?

RyanGlazner · Post by **RyanGlazner** » Wed Jul 17, 2002 4:14 am

Ja, this is the AVS file in its entirety (sans lines):

-------------------
LoadPlugin("C:\DVD\MPEG2DEC\MPEG2DEC.dll")
MPEG2Source("C:\DVD\OSRips\OutlawStar.d2v")
LoadPlugin("C:\DVD\Decomb\Decomb.dll")
Telecide()
Decimate(5)
--------------------

All paths lead to the correct places, and I do have all dll and d2v files.
