yay another open failure thread

Postby Autraya » Tue Sep 28, 2010 6:10 am

sooooo hi to all those who havent seen me for a while,
i've finally got editing software back on and of course i decided to go for CS5 thinking i might finally be able to load avs directly into premiere instead of filling up my HDD with lossless and spending weeks converting video... alas if only i'd stalked pwaffle more and read the earlier threads x_X
The amusing thing is i bet SOAD still isnt done :p

now onto my problem

Image


previous errors also told me it didnt know what d2v or mpeg were.... :awesome:

what have i tried -
delete/uninstall
reinstall
copy and replace plug ins
re-install whole amvapp
adding mirko line from a previous thread - dgdecode_mpeg2source
kicking computer repeatedly


script wrote:Mpeg2Source("x:\BGC\ovaD1.d2v",cpu=4)
#dedot()
#telecide(1) -swap me
#decimate(5)
#Deblock(quant=25)
#killaudio()
#undot()
#vaguedenoiser()
#temporalcleaner()
#TIsophote()
#tweak(sat=1.1, bright=1.1)
#deen("a2d,1,2,2")
#deen("a3d,1,2,2")
#FRFun7(lambda=1.5)
#vmToon(strength=5)
#LimitedSharpenFaster(strength=100)
#fastlinedarken()
#Levels(16, 1, 255, 0, 255, coring=true)
#crop(16,12,-16,-12)
#LanczosResize(640,480)


note: this is just a play around script that i used to start from, so any suggestions for sexy new filters to replace my old ones are also appreciated.

What exactly is c-plugins.avsi used for? If you change the file extension to .avs (so that it won't auto-load), does the script work? (Does avisynth_c.dll even exist in the given location?)

Because I can't imagine needing avisynth_C.dll in order to call MPEG2Source. If it still tells you "I don't know what MPEG2Source means" after that, how about loading DGDecode.dll manually?

noidea it appeared out of amvapp when i installed, i haven't installed anything extra at this point, as i'm just trying to get it to work first

If you change the file extension to .avs (so that it won't auto-load), does the script work?
nope

(Does avisynth_c.dll even exist in the given location?)
yes

new error after changing c-plugins.avs is
unable to load LoadPluginEx2.dll (oldplugins.avsi, line 1)

Windows7 or Vista? Was it installed as administrator? Maybe it didn't have enough privileges when it installed, missed something?

Uninstall AMVApp and manually get the following:
- AviSynth 2.5.8 : http://sourceforge.net/projects/avisynth2/
- VirtualDub 1.9.10: http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/
- DGMPGDec 1.5.8: http://neuron2.net/dgmpgdec/dgmpgdec.html ─ since it's neuron2 we're talking about, he doesn't provide binaries anymore by himself (lol). Get the binary here: http://hank315.nl/. Also, do remember to copy the dgdecode.dll into the avisynth's plugins folder.
- Zarx264GUI 1.32: http://amvhell.com/stuff/zarx264gui/
- TIVTC, TDeint, nnedi, nnedi2, nnedi3, dfttest, eedi2, eedi3, ttempsmooth: http://bengal.missouri.edu/~kes25c/ ─ all avisynth plugins, so you know the drill.
- Decomb: http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/Decomb
- MVTools.dll, Masktools 1.5.8, Masktools 2.0a45. mt_masktools.dll, mt_masktools2.dll, mt_masktools2_26.dll: http://manao4.free.fr/
- I'll leave finding other plugins to be used as an excercise for the reader. You might want FFT3DFilter for denoising (do look around for how to use it in two stage), various antialiasers (maa, daa, ediaa, naa, splinaa, supaa, shaarp... I could get an avsi with them all if you need), gradfunkmirror for debanding (requires gradfun2db, and I'd say gradfun2dbmod is better, but Hatt is all like "hurr durr use mirror not mod" lately, and I trust him more than myself), and I guess other stuff you'll have to hunt down yourself (possibly sharpeners, derainbowers, etc...)... too lazy to write down names atm. You'll also want something to rip the dvds heh. DVDDecrypter or DVDFab, up to you.
Once you got everything, try it all again, right back from the indexing.

EDIT: LOL, I was forgetting ffms2: http://code.google.com/p/ffmpegsource/downloads/list ─ you call it like FFVideoSource("video.ext") to load mp4, mkv, and other stuff in case of need. Video only, for audio too use ffcopyrightinfringement instead. Useful if you need to work with blurays and don't want to shave off 25usd to index the m2ts but are fine with demuxing and remuxing to mkv. Get r327. Move the dll, exe and avsi (ddl and exe from the mt subfolder) into avisynth's plugins. If you get issues, you might want to update the dll and exe with a more recent version: http://www.mod16.org/ffms2/ffms2-r339.7z (should become 2.14 soon-ish, and ryuu will also make mt and 64bit builds at that point).

To the best of my knowledge, avisynth-c.dll and c-plugins.avsi are not included in amvapp.
Are you sure that is where they came from?

ohai I know u,

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=89941 or http://avisynth.org.ru/fft3dfilter/fft3dfilter.html

Seeing all those plugins on the same avisynth notepad was scary, even with the # infront of em I was like: :shock: .
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

FFT3DGPU doesn't have all the parameters of fft3dfilter, so fft3dfilter is more tweakable and can give a better output, and unless you have a very good gpu, fft3dfilter will end up being faster too (assuming you have a decent cpu).

EDIT: I should add: TIVTC is tfm + tdecimate, to be used instead of telecide + decimate. I still put decomb there because there are reasons to want telecide and decimate still, but not really ones you'd care for. :asd:

EDIT2: Btw, I was wondering if a simple LoadPluginC("C:\Program Files\Avisynth 2.5\plugins\avisynth_c.dll") in your script and removing the c-plugins.avsi couldn't work. :?:

EDIT3: Other random suggestion, use spline36resize instead of lanczosresize. There's a whole lot of the filters in that script you should be dropping, too...

ohai I know u
liiieezz :P

I'll check out all the new filter suggestions tonight when i get back from work (after beating my head against an avisynth wall for 4 hours last night i decided to throw in the towel.)
I just noticed... it's a modkip *hides the case of booze i promised him and drunk last year* uh i mean 'gratz mirko <_<

Zarx - it's a new machine, clean OS install (win 7 64 bit), so there was no avs folder even when i uninstalled and re-installed this morning those files imediately appeared each time in the plug-in directory.
I dont even have any codec packs installed yet (hush all you nay sayers i like them everything works in wmp, makes my life easier- but i digress) I know you did the last update and allot of testing on it but they do keep appearing each time i install it o.O I've never ever had any problems like this with the amvapp before it's all pretty straight forward, I dloaded it from the site again for yesterday's install this time just in case you made some tweaks from your last version (which is to say i've installed this very version on my old pc without any issue). I honnestly have noidea why it's doing this... other than the possibility of god9 getting into my pc and touching it in bad places ;]
any idea's?

I was trying to avoid going to the individual websites to install every program and plug-in included in the app, but if there's nothing else to be done looks like i may have to

Well just delete the oldplugins.avsi and that should fix it O.o

I don't have the exact files on hand that went into the last amvapp, but I honestly have no idea what that would even be used for.

erm double post for lack of edit button:
Evafan- i dont use all those filters at once, it's just a general list of bits and pieces i often used, saved me hunting through all my scripts to find a particular call and settings

mudkip- is spline better than it was? I used to get better results with lancoz (and had allot of trouble with bicubic)

Scintilla- you rock, edit moar?

thanks for the help guys theoretically i'll be back up and editing within the week (after i go mad scientist on the new filters)

Spline36resize is better than lanczos4resize, mind you (less ringing/haloing around the edges). :P
