Problem with CCE and AviSynth...

[njin]

Hi,

first I want to tell you that I´m very sorry that my English might be not that good because I´m German.

Anyway, yesterday I tried to backup "The Ring" by using DVDDecrypter for ripping the files, DVD2AVI to change the m2v file to d2v and AviSynth with the MPEG2DEC.dll plugin to make a script which I can use in CCE.
Well, no problems so far. But when I tried to pull the d2v.avs file to the CCE main window, it was said that this file only has 240 frames and a duration of 10 seconds... wtf?
Well, while browsing through various forums trying to find a solution to fix that problem, I got to know that I should use VirtualDub to see what´s wrong with that script. Consiquently I tried and VD told me that there´s an error in line 3 of the script....

Could anyone help me? I would be very very thankful for a solution because I´m trying not to use those one-click-backup-tools.

Could you post your avs script plus the Vdub error message? Bit difficault otherwise.

[njin]

Hmm, ok..

Error message:

AviSynth open failure:
Unrecognized exception!
(F:\...\the_ring.d2v.avs, line 3)

Script:

# -= AviSynth script by FitCD v1.1.2 =-
#LoadPlugin("C:\Programme\avisynth2\plugins\mpeg2d ec.dll")
mpeg2source("F:\THE_RING\VIDEO_TS\the_ring.d2v")
BicubicResize(720,576,0,0.6,0,0,712,572)
#Trim(0,165803).FadeOut(150)
ResampleAudio(44100) # also a CCE 2.5 'crashfix' for Athlons

Well it looks to me that 'loadplugin' line has been commented out. Remove the '#' at the beginning of the line and try again

[njin]

nope... doesn´t work

[feenix]

Strange because that line is definitely commented out and that is why you are getting the exception error.

Try one more thing. Replace 'mpeg2source' with 'DirectShowSource' and see if that works.

[njin]

Hmm...

CCE: Frame size 800x80 is not supported....

[feenix]

Ok so have we got a stage further?

If so I think your BicubicResize parameter is a weird one (weird to me anyway). Change it to just 'BicubicResize(720,576)' and see if that gets rid of that Framesize error.

[njin]

doesn´t work....

[feenix]

Sorry - I can't suggest anything else.

Maybe FitCd creates other things as well - I've never used the product as I create my own avs scripts manually and they would be different.

Perhaps someone with experience of Fitcd could help

Good luck

Make sure "mpeg2source("F:\THE_RING\VIDEO_TS\the_ring.d2 v")" path is correct and exact.

[njin]

The path is correct because I have to define the source file using FitCD.

Thanks anyway guys...

If you are using the latest version of Avisynth you need to update to mpeg2dec3.dll. That might solve your problem right there.

Make sure that mpeg2dec3.dll is located in your avisynth/plugins directory. If you do this then you don't need the loadplugin command to load mpeg2dec, that's why its turned off in your FitCD script. If its not in the plugins dir then you have to manually change the loadplugin line to point to this file, that could also be causing the error.

If you let FitCD calculate that first script than it should be fine, and you should just work on getting your original script to work. There's no sense to just use the regular "BicubicResize(720,576)" for you actual encode because the source is already at that resolution. What the FitCD script is doing is cropping and resizing all in one line. This can make encoding slightly more efficient, both quality and speed-wise, and it can also be used to account for overscanning...depending on your FitCD settings.
