AVISynth and VirtualDubMod

Postby Rajin Recoil » Mon Aug 07, 2006 2:27 am

For some reason the two of these aren't agreeing. Whenever I try to load a .avs file in VirtualDubMod, it tells me
Code: Select all
Avisynth open failure:
Avisynth: script open failed!

This isn't a whole lot of help for me. I've searched through the AVISynth FAQ, the VirtualDubMod forum, and this forum. None of them seem to have any solutions that work.

I've tried uninstalling VirtualDubMod, and AVISynth. I've also tried upgrading AVISynth from 2.5.5 to 2.5.6 and VirtualDubMod to 1.5.10.2 b2542.

My avs file looks like
Code: Select all
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Decomb521.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Msmooth.dll")
MPEG2Source("C:\Crest Of The Stars\Episode 01.d2v", idct=5, iPP=true)
Telecide(order=0, guide=1)
Decimate(quality=3)
MSmooth(threshold=2, strength=2)


The d2v file was created with DGIndex 1.4.8. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be great.[/code]

Are the paths to the plugins okay?

I'm not completely sure, but I think that plugins autoload when you put them in the plugins folder. The fact that you're trying to reload them may be causing the crash, or you got the names wrong.

You're right, as of 2.5.5, the plugins do auto load. But that doesn't seem to be the problem as VDM is still giving me the same error. I've modified my script to this:
Code: Select all
dgdecode_MPEG2Source("C:\Crest Of The Stars\Episode 01.d2v", idct=5, iPP=true)
decomb521_Telecide(order=0, guide=1)
decomb521_Decimate(quality=3)
msmooth_MSmooth(threshold=2, strength=2)

what type of processor do you have?
only P4 or later (athlon 64 3000+ and above I believe) can utilize idct greater than 3 IIRC

I have an Intel Pentium 4 650 HT 3.4 ghz, so I'm fairly sure that's not the problem. For some reason, the script will play through media players, just not VirtualDubMod.

strip out all the extra stuff and see if it loads. If it does, add lines in one at a time to see which is killing you.

Didn't work, when I made an empty file, VDM just told me that the file was empty, the second that I put a '#' in, it started to give me the same error that I've always been getting.

Code: Select all
MPEG2Source("C:\Crest Of The Stars\Episode 01.d2v")

Just start out with that. Does this produce the error?

It does. I also tried it as dgdecode_MPEG2Source, and that still generated the same error.

1) try making another project file.
and/or
2) Use virtualdubmod and chose "load via avisynth."

Keep it simple, just get it to load. (eg: mpeg2source"c:\blah blah.d2v")

1) It doesn't want to load any AVISynth script. New or old.
2) It creates the file, but then it gives me the same error that I've been getting from step 1.

open a script. in windows media player. if it doesn't work, then the problem is with avisynth. Try loading one of the render scripts, like

Colorbars()

or

Version()

if they don't open either, reinstall AviSynth.

Both of those work in Windows Media Player, and Media Player Classic, so it's not AVISynth

Right. So you know that avisynth works.

so the problem is your files, probably.

Or the problem can also be in VDM, but the files are more likely to be the issue.
