HC 'width not a multiple of 16' error???

[boing]

Width not a multiple of 16

This was the error message I received upon trying to open a script for an AVI file

What does it mean and how do I get around it? lol

trying to open a script for an AVI file

What do you mean by 'script for an AVI file'. Is this an avisynth script? What does it do, do you resize any dimension? Most (if not all) avi codecs require the horizontal and vertical resolutions to be a multiple of 16.

Hi, yeah to be clear it is an Avisynth script I am trying to open in HC, this is the script:

DirectShowSource("D:\Bloodandguts [Part 3].avi",fps=25)

Converttoyv12()

After doing so I get the error message

Do I have to add something to the script or is it a case that there is a problem with the AVI itself?


-EDIT--I am also having a problem opening the avi in Tmpgenc too, it gives me the error message 'can not open or unsupported', again any help here would be appreciated--EDIT--

HC only takes D2V and AVISynth scripts for input, so even if the script did nothing to the avi it would still be required.

Make sure that your script is mod16. Generally you should be using 720x576/480, 704x576/480, 352x480/576, etc. anyway.

Test your script before trying to encode it to as I am not sure how HC treats errors. It might be able to read them like VDubMod or it might just see that as ???x56 RGB sources.

Just opened the Avisynth script above with VirtualDubMod and it gave me this error:

Avisynth open faliure:

AVISource: couldnt locate a decompressor for fourcc YV12

(D:\scripts\guts--avisource.avs, line 2)

Also, when trying to open the actual AVI file in VirtualDubMod I get this:

Couldnt locate decompressor for format 'XVID' (unkown)
VirtualDub requires a video for windows (VFW) compatable codec to decompress video. Direct show codecs, such as thoses used by WIndows media player are not suitable. Only 'Direct Stream copy' is available fo this video

Install XviD codec. Multiple of 16 means that the amount of pixels should be divisible by 16 and the result must be an integer value.

Mate, I ALREADY HAVE an xvid codec (Koepis build with EPSZ ME) allready installed it is the last item on my programs list infact

I have lots of xvid files and play them with no problems lol

[Abond]

Well, it seems VirtualDub and avisynth did not share your opinion as they said clearly - you have not a codec for FOURCC XVID

Abond, trust me I have the codec installed, I can play the file (not to mention lots of other files that G-Spot report as XVID) in my media players with no problem

I downloaded the XVID codec mopnths ago

No what I need to know is what the origin of this confusion is

Tell me this, unless I am incorrect in my above assumption would it be the case that if I DIDNT have the xvid codec the XVID files would NOT open in my media players?

If this is or indeed isnt the case can you or someone else tell me

Cheers for reading mate lol

[Abond]

Well, yes you are incorrect. For example I can have ffdshow to decode xvid files through directshow and they will play flawlessly in any media player. Or for example, MPC have built-in directshow filter to play them. And that even without any xvid codec to install. Then look for the last codec version (but not last stable - it can fail with files encoded with last beta 1.0.3 I think). Hope this help.

Cheers mate, ok I will try an install of the latest version of Kopeis build codec via the tools link here, if it doesnt work I will report back...I bet you cant wait?, ahem

[celtic_druid]

Better to grab it direct from his site as I am not sure they would have 1.1.0beta2 here yet. That is unless you want to stick with 1.0.3.

DOWNLOADED THE CODEC AND THE FILES OPEN (avs script in VirtuaDubMod and the actual AVI in Tmpgenc)


Cheers Abond and CelticFrost, bloody codecs lol

I still cant grasp the HC width error and what to do there but hey at least I have learnt how to deal with another problem, its all learning


Once again thanks guys

Wow, celticfrost?
I have thought it is Hell Hammer :P
