Avisynth 2.52 and CCE 2.66 on XP Pro.. ??

[jbenj01]

I just installed XP Pro and now Aviynth 2.52 scripts won't work in CCE..? I'm backing up Reloaded the error I keep getting is:

'There is no function named mpeg2source, line 1". This is the basic script:

mpeg2source("D:\MATRIX_RELOADED_DISC_1\files\reloa ded.d2v")
lanczosresize(720,480)
assumefps(23.976, true)

I treid re-installing Avisynth2.52, w/o success.. I made sure the the mpeg2dec.dll and mpge2dec3.dll plugins were installed in both Avisynth Plugin folder AND XP's system32 folder..

Please advise. Thanks.

Note: Before I swapped Win2k for WinXP Pro, I COPIED my "video tools" folder (that contained ALL my video apps, including Avisynth, CCE) onto my data drive; after XP install, I copied the video tools folder back onto my drive that I installed XP on..).. Was that a mistake??

You need to load the DLL containing the MPEG2 Decoder
either explicitly with a LoadPlugin( "Mpegdec.dll" )
or stick the DLL in the Avisynth plugin directory.

Edit: Sorry i didn't read the whole post.
You probably have a version problem. That gave me fits for a while.
Wrong DLL

and you might set the Avisynth registry plugin folder

Foo,

I just uninstalled and deleted all files related to Avisynth and mpeg2 codecs from the avisynth folder AND system32 folder.. then re-installed Avisynth 2.52 and the plugin package for Avisynth 2.5 from here (towards the bottom):

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57023

Then i copied the mpeg2 .dll files from the plugin folder into system32 folder.. and i keep getting the same error.. ??? Like you said.. i'm have 'fits'.. aargh! What am i missing??

please advise..

Have you updated all your plugins for AVISynth 2.5x? Most of old plugins won't work with AVISynth 2.5x. If not, go to Doom9 for updates.....

I installed the new plugins, designated specifically for Avisynth 2.5.. at the bottom of the avisynth.org link above.. is that incorrect?

Foo,

sorry, what do you mean by, "and you might set the Avisynth registry plugin folder".. ??

See if this is set.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AviSynth plugindir2_5

Did you put a LoadPlugin statement in. ?

Did you remove the old one first ?

Did you use Version() to prove it's the right one ?

[jbenj01]

How do check to see if this is set?:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AviSynth plugindir2_5

No, I did not input plugin statement--thought i didn't need to if i copied into Avisynth pluginfolder.. (i just found out on doom9 that on XP, you have to enter the plugin line in the avs script -- will try tonite).

I didn't have an 'old' version of Avisynth installed.. it was v2.5 even when i was on Win2k OS.

And yes, i did a test script, "version" and WMP6.4 told me it was v2.52..

Thanks.

Foo and poplar.. Thanks!! i finally got it.. don't know how to explain, but will try...

when i unzipped the 2.5 plugin package into the avisynth plugin folder, the actual .dll files were located in their respective titled folders, which were located in the 'new 2.5 plugin folder', located within the 'general' plugin folder for Avisynth 2.5...

i.e., so they were located in a sub-sub-folder within a sub-folder within the main plugin folder... anyway, i just copied the individual .dll files into the main plugin folder, included the 'load plugin' line in the avs script... and it worked...

but the question still begs... How the heck was I to unzip the files??? and to where?? anyway.. thanks for the help...
