Recurrent Problem loading AVSI scripts with AVISynth

[manono]

I have neither the DLL nor the AVS(I) in my template MCTemporalDenoise script. Maybe the AddGrainC is needed for certain settings.

Thanks very much PoisonDeathRay and manono. I have managed to successfully load all the files now.

The next task is to learn to configure this template and start using it!

Thanks poisondeathray and manono. At last I have been able to load MCTemporal Denoise. Now for the settings. Would anyone like to recommend settings for this newbie? It is good to have a template.

That is bound to cause crashes!!
a. don't throw everything into the plugins folder, create subfolders
b. don't load different versions of a plugin
both will cause problems since the dlls will have the same interface and Avisynth doesn't know which one to call,...

Wow! Selur et al are correct. Don't use multiple versions of the same dll's at the same time. SSE2 + SSE3 in the same folder? ? No way. SSE3 versions in themselves are known to cause problems in many setups. MaskTools 25 + 26?? Nope. Most of the documentation warns against this.

[Sartorius48]

Thanks for the help - much appreciated

[hello_hello]

Someone else may be able to tell you if it'll cause a problem but I think it would. You have several different versions of the same dlls in the plugins folder which mightn't be a good idea, (ie RemoveGrainSSE2, RemoveGrainS etc) and aside from the duplicates some probably shouldn't be there. For instance mt_masktools.... the "25" version is for AviSynth 2.5x, the "26" version fo AviSynth 2.6x and you have both the 32 and 64 bit versions of each.

Because everything in the plugins folder gets auto-loaded I'd have a cleanout before trying to find other causes of problems. Using RemoveGrain as an example, I'd use the SSE3 version and dump the rest. Well, I did. I also went through the dlls which were included with each "package", and if each included duplicates of the same dll, I picked the newest version of each according to their modified date in Explorer, and used that one in the plugins folder.

According to the QTGMC plugins package, or the website, you're only supposed to use the SSE2 version of RemoveGrain because of a bug in the SSE3 version, but there's a link for the "fixed" SSE3 version here which I use with QTGMC and it's not given me a problem. It may be newer than the SSE3 version which comes with some "plugin packages". http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/Removegrain.

If you're using mt_masktools it should be fine to remove the standard masktools if you have it. mvtools and mvtools2 are okay to use together though because they don't run using the same scripts. Speaking of which, I think you mentioned SeeSaw a while back.... there's 2 versions of the SeeSaw.avis file floating around which have exactly the same date and version number, only one uses mvtools while the other uses mvtools2. That did my head in a bit originally till I worked it out.

Anyway, I'd consider a serious bit of house keeping to see if that helps eliminate problems.

Edit: I see I posted too slow. Selur beat me to it!
