multiAVCHD Win7 x64 Problems??

[tommy2010]

Hi,

I just installed multiAVCHD build 770 on a new Win 7 x64 Home Premium machine as well as FFDshow x64, Haali Splitter and AviSynth 2.5. Whenever I launch multiAVCHD, import a video file and then go to the properties there is no image preview of the video and under transcoding there is a message saying "If you're seeing this image the transcode may not work". Can anyone help me solve this problem? Someone suggested on here the Win7 tweaker in order to enable the ffdshow but this doesn't seem to work. Finally, for the heck of it I thought I try transcoding anyways but this spits out a window where it says something about "avs64...exe" is not responding or had to close. I do have a laptop also with Win7 and it works there perfectly except I noticed that unlike on the new machine the Win7 is not Service Pack 1. Could this be an issue or not really?

Anyways, I've been sitting at this for a while now trying to get it to work with no results and am starting to feel a little frustrated. So if anyone could give some me some suggestions on how solve this issue then I'd be very grateful.

Thanks in advance,
- Tom

Maybe try a 32-bit version of ffdshow? Some programs won't work with 64-bit versions, and some are touchy about what specific build you use. Off the top of my head, BDRB and AVCHDCoder, for example.

It's been awhile since I used multiAVCHD, so I'm just guessing. If you do try it, I'd suggest the version of ffdshow recommended by jdobbs for BDRB. Also use the versions of Haali and Avisynth he has tested, they all work together.

Good luck.

I've had this issue and honestly can't remember the fix. It's happened to me a few times in past. It was either ffdshow and installing the 32bit version, AVIsynth or Haali media splitter. I would clean uninstall everything and reinstall.

Keep in mind that on 64 bit Windows the 32 bit and 64 bit video systems are separate. If you use a 32 bit program you must have 32 bit readers, splitters, codecs, AviSynth,and filters. If you use a 64 bit program you must have 64 bit readers, splitters, codecs, AviSynth, and filters.

Thanks guys for your quick responses and actually I got it fixed. I was ready to give up and set the video file transcoding on my laptop but when I imported it the same thing happened like on the new machine - no preview in either properties or transcoding window. I found this to be very curious so I went back and tried a different file that I knew showed previews and boom it worked. So what the hell? After further investigation I discovered that the file that was not working had the profile flag of 5.0. So, I used tsmuxer to downgrade it to 4.1, imported back in multiavchd and now the previews show up no problem. Haven't tried the actual transcode yet but I'm assuming that it's going to work no problem now.

Anyways, thanks again guys for all your advice and I'll be sure to post if I discover something else.

Best,
- Tom
