Problems with Avisynth

[dave22277]

I am trying to use the Avisynth plug-in to Adobe Premiere 6.0 to encode using TMPGenc. When I open up TMPGenc, I get an error where the video should be that says "IPCSource: wrong server version (filename.avs, line 1)." I did a little test where I just create a .avs file with the one line "Version" and open it in Windows Media Player and get "Invalid or corrupt data was encountered." So it doesn't seem to work with Premiere/TMPGenc OR Windows Media Player.

I am using Windows ME, Avisynth 1.0 Beta 3 and TMPGenc 12h. Could this be related to Windows ME?

If it is any consolation to you, I have the same problem using Premiere 5.1c under Windows 98SE.I tried the newest Avisynth version, the one that asks for a handout..,same reply.If there are bugs in Avisynth why should we send a contribution.Any suggestions?

Yip. Same thing here. Premiere 5.1c, Win90se. WMP says that Invalid or corrupt data was encountered. TMPGenc 12j just locks up. Any of you avisynth gurus got any ideas?

Use the 0.3 version of avisynth.

Same problems. I'm using Windows Me, TMPGenc 12j, avisynth 0.3. I tried the "Version.avs" test with the same results. When I open the attempt to open the .avs file in TMPGenc I get "IPCSource: Unable to open IPC objects. Try using a different file name"

Have a look at this guide.
The premiere plugin says "to connect from AVIsynth use the following command: IPCSource("whatever0")
Open notpad, type IPCSource("whatever0") and save it as whatever.avs.
Then start TMPG and select whatever.avs as video source.

Go to http://www.videotools.net. Avisynth development was taken over by this guy. He has created a much improved version of Avisynth and he's very responsive to requests for help.

Just wanted to share with you my experience with AVIsynth. If you want to try out any .avs file use the old mplayer2 instead of wmplayer. For some reason wmplayer would not accept .avs file while the old mplayer2 will. Even if you are using Win2k, the old mplayer2 should still be available. Just do a search of your hard drive.

Simple,
In menu TMPGenc, global settings, VFAPI Plugins disable "direct show multimedia file reader", in my PC its works OK., but don,t forget to copy the "*.dll to windows\system directory.

Probably one of the clearest explanations can be found here:
http://www.adobeforums.com
FAQ and the 'TMPGEnc from Timeline'
Using this advise even I am able to frameserve...

[zeppage2]

To amend my previous post:
1. advice, not advise
2. at the Premiere site, click on "win" opposite the Premiere product name
3. now you are at the 'user-to-user' page
4. go to FAQ
5. 'TMPGEnc from Timeline'

Dave22277 THANKS FOR THE LINK !!!!!! http://www.videotools.net./ I have been working on this for 3 days now. Just when I figured out I never Installed Avisynth right, you tell me I have the wrong version and old develeper/site.
Thanks again

You may not belive this but I got the same message after installing version 12a. Guess what? I made a new AVS fill with a different name, and it worked.
This was after 3 days of reading forums like this one.

plug-in ver 0.28 beta 37
avisynth ver 1.0 beta 31

The non-working setup was:

plug-in ver 0.90
avisynth ver 1.0 beta 31
