How to use Avisynth?

[mlong30]

I just installed Avisynth 2.5, and Virutal Mod. But for some odd reason virutualdubMod crashes during statup. I'm receiving the following error message on Windows XP Pro SP2.


Unhandled exception at 0x7c812a5b in VirtualDubMod.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: AvisynthError at memory location 0x0012aa5c..
Unhandled exception at 0x003f570d in VirtualDubMod.exe: 0xC0000096: Privileged instruction.

Frames below my be incorrect and/or missing, no symbols loaded for ntdll.dll


Since I can't get VirtualDubMod working. How can I use Avisynth to apply some noise filters to a avi file, and see the results without using VirtualDubMod?

Is there a manual on how to use Avisynth without VirtualDubMod?
I tried using VirutualDub, but it wont read the AVS files.

Thanks.

Hi-

How can I use Avisynth to apply some noise filters to a avi file, and see the results without using VirtualDubMod?

Some players, such as Media Player Classic, can play AviSynth script files just as if they were video. However, I really think it would be better if you got VDubMod working.

Is there a manual on how to use Avisynth without VirtualDubMod?

The main AviSynth site is down, but read the QuickStart Guide that comes in the DGMPGDec package:

http://www.neuron2.net/dgmpgdec/QuickStart.html

and read from this mirror site for AviSynth:

http://www.avisynth.org.ru/docs/english/

and maybe get a version more recent than 2.5:

Where can Post my error for VDubMod? I tried the doom9 forum, but I have to wait 5days before I post.

Thanks.

Try emptying your AVISynth plugin dir. See if that helps.

Celtic_druid you are the man! It worked! Any idea why this is? Can I add my plugs backin without it crashing?

Thanks.

You can probably add all of them bar one.

You stuck a bad plugin in there. So, as celtic_druid said, replace them one by one to isolate the bad one. It's probably not a .dll (unless you have one that requires a version of AviSynth more recent than what you have) but a function that's the problem

Good one, celtic_druid. Funny, the 2 times I've has bad plugins, VDubMod just closed silently, with no error message or anything. I never would have thought of that. Maybe it's because of differing versions of VDubMod, don't know.
