FFmpeg and X264 errors while trying to convert video

[glassbottomboat]

I have a TS file I captured of a movie from a sports channel that has scrolling scores at the bottom and I would like to crop it out.

The original file is in 1920x1080 and I would like to crop it then re encode it down to 1280x720 to burn it to a DVD5 for playback on a Sony BDP-S350.

I've converted tons of movies for for the S350 by just adding borders top and bottom to satisfy the 1280x720 or 1920x108 resolution but with this I need to crop it then add borders.

I've figured out that I need to crop off 116 lines from the bottom to get rid of the scrolling scores then I have to add 58 lines top and bottom. So I make my AVS script and the preview looks fine in MeGUI it doesn't give any errors or suggest changes to the AVS script.

So I start the re encode and it goes for about 2 hours then it says there was an error with x264.exe and MeGUI needs to close and then a popup tells me FFmpeg was the cause of the error but doesn't tell me what the error was I assume it has to be in my AVS script. Here it is:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\DGAVCDecode.dll") 
AVCSource("The Greatest Game Ever Played_cut.dga")
Crop(0,0,-0,-116)
AddBorders(0,58,0,58)
FieldDeinterlace()
Lanczos4Resize(1280,720)

Please help me figure this out
Thanks in advance

Check the log file it might have more information on the error

Do you have the most recent version/updates?

Can you open that .avs and play/preview/seek in a directshow player (e.g. mpc, wmp) ?
