HC 016 Not Working

[cd090580]

Hi, This is the first time I want to try HC but the programs still crash and I don't Know why.

Here is how It's configured:


The log file only contains:

              ---------------------
              | encoding - pass 1 |
              ---------------------

and my avs script:

loadplugin("c:\program files\multimedia\avisynth 2.5\plugins\DGDecode.dll")
mpeg2source("c:\hc016\scripts\clip.d2v")
Msmooth(highq=true)

The avs works in virtualdub.

When I click on encode, I saw a process dww????? (or something like that) which takes more and more ram and then HC crash (when dww is at about 130 MB RAM) with a report created by windows asking if I want to send it to Microsoft.

Why does the encoder crash ?????

I think you will get more answers at http://forum.doom9.org under "Other MPEG1/2 encoder". I got help there.

I believe HC requires YV12 input. Try adding "ConvertToYV12(interlaced=true)" to the bottom of your script.

[cd090580]

Still the same crash when adding ConvertToYV12(interlaced=true).

[gadgetguy]

Are your computer specs up to date? It seems a little under powered. Possibly running out of harddrive space? I don't use HC but I've never heard of this problem from anyone that does, so I suspect a resource problem.

[Abond]

Set the CPU to auto. I think gadgetguy is correct.

[mattso]

Could very well be mistaken here (?), but doesn't a ".d2v" file require an "AviSource" command rather than "Mpeg2Source"? (Sorry, just a bit rushed right now...)

DVD rebuilder uses it and it works fine (very good), maybe you could look at some of the setting it uses. Also the DGDecode.dll that is optimized for hyper threading makes it much faster a big difference.
