Unrecognized exception! with AVIsynth script??

[johneboy]

Unrecognized exception!
line 6
is what im getting when attempting to use the script below...


LoadPlugin("C:\AviSynthPlugins\MPEG2DEC.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\AviSynthPlugins\legalclip.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\AviSynthPlugins\sampler.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\AviSynthPlugins\convolution3d.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\AviSynthPlugins\dustv4.dll")
Mpeg2Source("C:\AviSynthPlugins\ct.d2v")
legalclip()
GripCrop( 352, 240, overscan=1)
GripSize()
Gripborders()
faerydust()
Convolution3d(preset="movieLQ")
legalclip()
Sampler()

Sampler(length=24)



this is why i dont like avisynth... anyway... trying to learn
could it be because of the d2v file?
when i put the vob there, and changed the script for it, i got

MPEG2Source: couldn't open file
line 6

I don't recall off the top of my head if AVISynth is case-sensitive, but if it is, you might try changing "Mpeg2Source" to "mpeg2source". By comparison with one of my scripts, I can't see any other reason why that line would be resulting in an exception.

[johneboy]

No converting to lower case didnt work either
i also tried running the d2v file thru VFAPI to make a psuedo avi
got the ...

MPEG2Source: couldn't open file
line 6

I assume of course the .d2v file is actually at the specified path (e.g. in the same directory as all the plugins). Sometimes this kind of thing is a cut-and-paste error but I kind of doubt it.

I would probably just do a step-by-step debugging. Start with a minimal script (just the mpeg2dec plugin and the .d2v load command). Then start adding the other lines in one by one to see if it's actually getting confused somewhere else and giving an erroneous error message (these things amazingly do happen: errors in the error message - great ain't it).

[johneboy]

k.. narrowed it down to

LoadPlugin("C:\AviSynthPlugins\MPEG2DEC.dll")

mpeg2source("C:\AviSynthPlugins\ct.d2v")

still getting the same "Unrecognized exception! " error

and yea, the d2v file is in the same directory



by the way, thanks for helping me out here, hopefully we can get it

[johneboy]

by the way, this is AviSynth v 2.0.4

[kinneera]

Have you upgraded to a newer version of Avisynth recently? Or changed the version of the plugin? Perhaps there's an incompatibility in there...
Do you have other scripts are working? Oh, and how is the unrecognized exception being reported?

[johneboy]

about a month or 2 ago
worked on a couple other scripts.. tho im not sure if it ever worked with mpeg2...

Oh, and how is the unrecognized exception being reported?

when i load into tmpgenc, or wmp, it will display the error

im going to attempt to update my verison of avisynth to see if that helps
i'll let you know.. let me know if you can think of anything else

[johneboy]

updated to 2.07 from nov 22 2002
still no work

[johneboy]

Edit... spoke too soon

installed a program called AMVapp
from
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtech/amvapp.html

now, it wont give me an error, it will just sit there and "load" forever..
both WMP and TMPGenc... tried waiting.. but ended task on them after about 2 min and using 2GB of VMem

ugh
this sucks

Did you make your d2v with dvd2avi 1.7?

Have you used 'Faery Dust' before without any problem?

[johneboy]

Yes

Have you used 'Faery Dust' before without any problem?

Right now i cant even get it to work with just the mpeg2source line

[pyst]

I should have asked if you used 1.77.3 and if so it might be worthwhile trying an earlier version. 1.77.3 d2vs were a problem for me and 1.76 d2vs work ok.

Hi johneboy,

First, use DVD2AVI 1.76. Don't use version 1.77.x
Next, change the order of your filters like this, and update to the new Dustv5:

LoadPlugin("C:\AviSynthPlugins\MPEG2DEC.dll") 
LoadPlugin("C:\AviSynthPlugins\legalclip.dll") 
LoadPlugin("C:\AviSynthPlugins\sampler.dll") 
LoadPlugin("C:\AviSynthPlugins\convolution3d.dll") 
LoadPlugin("C:\AviSynthPlugins\dustv5.dll") 
Mpeg2Source("C:\AviSynthPlugins\ct.d2v")
LegalClip() 
GripCrop( 352, 240, overscan=1) 
GripSize() 
Spacedust() 
Convolution3d(preset="movieLQ") 
Gripborders() 
LegalClip() 
Sampler(length=24)

The difference in speed from SpaceDust to FaeryDust is huge. Use FaeryDust only if your source is a noisy DVD. You may also want to try TemporalCleaner instead of C3d

Thanks Kwag
Since i got my new puter, i haven't had an issue with the avisynth scripts anymore...

Also since the release of the new DVD2ONE app... DVD-R just got a WHOLE lot easier, so im going to now go back to playing with VCDs..

Now that avisynth scripts work, ima try to get the most out of your new KVCD templates
