avisynth error???

[mazinz]

im using avisynth ver 2.5, im trying t convert a pal interlaced dvd to ntsc. The scripts are fine (following the guides on here), yet i keep getting this error no matter what i do, and it is refering to the d2v file made with dvd2avi. the location of the file is correct, so i have no idea why its giving this:

"unregonized exception"

the line it refers to is the following

MPEG2Source("c:/spawn/spawn.d2v")

any ideas? i have so far been unable to use avisynth in frame serving my clips, as no matter what pal disc i use, i keep getting this or similar errors. thanks again

Do you have the plugin for reading .d2v files installed?

Are you using LoadPlugin() to load the plugin dll?

Posting your scrip would be helpful

[mazinz]

yes, ok here is what i got, the top is the avs the bottom is the d2v, i also have tried combos with the two as well, still with no success, i do have the plugins all set and have tried them in various locations too(changing that in the script)

avs file:

LoadPlugin("MPEG2DEC.dll")
LoadPlugin("SmoothDeinterlacer.dll")
MPEG2Source("c:\k2\VTS_04_1.d2v")
SmoothDeinterlace(doublerate=true)
LanczosResize(720,480)
ChangeFPS(59.94) # or ConvertFPS(59.94)
SeparateFields()
SelectEvery(4,1,2)
Weave()
ConvertToRGB()


the d2v file (not im not copying the billion numbers after this part to post in here)

are you using this mpeg2dec?

[mazinz]

yes, but for arguements sake i replaced mine with yours, and avisynth tells me its not a 2.5 plugin. So i went to the actual site and dl'ed it (for 2.5) and now it still gives the the same error. maybe i will uninstall and reinstal avisynth 2.5 and see if that fixes anything

[mazinz]

my main problem with this would easly be solved if i knew what equivelant deinterlace option in tmpg would be the same as the 'smooth deinterlace' in the avisynth script.

the pal i convert is 25 frames interlaced and i would bring it to 29.97 frames so i can re-author it as a dvd .

Try mpeg2dec3.dll.

It's the best one (IMO) for avisynth 2.52.

You can get it from the same place as above.


Make sure in DVD2AVI when you click help, VFAPI Plug In, has a check mark.

Also, ONLY use DVD2AVI version 1.76. The other version(s) don't work with mpeg2dec3, nor mpeg2dec.

well that might be causign the problem, i have dvd2avi 1.77, on their website they do not list previous versions. For the record i do have the rest of the mpeg2 plugs for avisynth 2.5, i have tried them all with the same error. i will ook (unless someone has one handy) for dvd2avi 1.76 and see if that fixes things.

[mazinz]

ok i knew i had an older one somewhere, trying dvd2avi 1.76+ now, hopefully that will work (know in a few minutes)

HOOORRRAAYYYY


i just did a very simple test using the mpeg2dec.dll and the d2v file and it played fine!!! Thats a start, now i just have to see if it will work with the script i have for the pal conversion-- (crossing my fingers)


thank you disturbed1 for the tip off about the versions of dvd2avi not working with avisynth properly

while im here let me ask, should i combine my avs script with the d2v file to make it another avs script file, or is it safe just to use that avs script by itself?? thanks

[disturbed1]

Don't know the answer to your last question.

I only do NTSC, so deinterlacing isn't even a concern for me. I remember seeing something about PAL to NTSC conversion in the included Avisynth html help file though.


Glad you got your DVD2AVI issues worked out.

[mazinz]

ok just tried my original pal 2 ntsc script (using the guide on here) with the new d2v file from the 1.76 ver, it played fine in windows media player, so i guess it is safe to say i do not need to copy that d2v with it as well (after it is telling it what file to use in the avs script itself)--thanks again

The last question doesn't make sense if you mean to
merge the AVs text file with the D2V text file.
The AVS file READS the D2V file,

[mazinz]

yes i know, but either way everything is working fine. Now i just have to make sure that the sources are truly interlaced and not progressive. tmpg says their interlaced and so does bitrate viewer, but i know another post on here mentioned another way, just want to be sure
