FAVC problems

[SilverDales]

Hi,
I am having probs with FAVC, it was fine and working wonderfully but then I tried converting an MKV file and a box came up saying it didnt recognise the file type and needed Avisynth 2.52 etc. So I dl the new Avisynth and thought I installed it ok. I gave up on the MKV file and am now trying to convert an AVI file like I uised to and am getting the same prob. It seems my Avisynth is not installed properly. Can anyone help please?

As was mentioned in an earlier thread, FAVC doesn't like to process MKV's and OGM's that have subtitles muxed inside of them, and will generate the type of error that you are seeing now. You can check if the subtitles are muxed with a tool such as MediaInfo. If they are, you can use the tool MKVMerge to remux the MKV (or OGM if necessary) without the subtitles, and then use FAVC on the new remuxed file. The new file should be processed OK by FAVC.

The point I was making was that FAVC wont convert any AVI's now. It just says it cant load the source because of Avisynth. So something has gone wrong when I installed the new version of Avisynth. It is there because I have tried a conversion with a different tool which users it and its fine but FAVC wont see it at the mo.

I don't know if this will help, but try uninstalling both AVISynth and FAVC. Then re-install AVISynth, then FAVC. It may be that FAVC isn't finding the new version of AVISynth you installed. It's wouldn't hurt to download fresh versions of each program while you are at it.

You might also want to check to see that you only have one version of AVISynth installed on your computer.

I've been having weird problems with FAVC v1.05. It's complaining about normal Xvid videos. Time to go back to v1.04 for the moment.

Ditto - I've needed to go back to v1.04 also

Ditto to powerpc123's

Ditto

- same problem as Soopafresh so I've switched back to FAVC 1.04. Problems disappeared.

[SilverDales]

Right, just gone back to 1.04 and all running OK. So what's the prob with 1.05?

[olyteddy]

IDK, but I saw this thread and V.1.04 solved my problem too. 1.05 gave me some mumbo jumbo about the wrong AviSynth even though FAVC installed it.

[Mr_Odwin]

Can someone who has had problems with 1.05 try to open one of the generated avisynth files (from a working folder) in virtualdub and help me to find what the problem is?

[Mr_Odwin]

Thanks powerpc123. That helps me.

I'm experiencing the same problems that powerpc123 and others are mentioning with v1.05. Version 1.04 works perfectly. Stumbled across your program not long ago Mr_Odwin and I am really liking it. Thanks for your work on it.

Cheers,
Rick
