I am an idiot.

Postby OzzieAlThor79 » Sat Feb 06, 2010 1:55 pm

I used DGIindex, saved my d2v file. I have my roughly 170 kb .d2v file.

I have my separate AviSynth script file.

I go into VDB and choose "Open Video File", choose my script and it doesn't work. "There is no function named mpeg2source"

Should I just be using the VOB? (<-- I don't think so)

What am I missing in the guide?

if you got the amvapp, you shouldn't be having this problem.
If not, make sure that dgdecode.dll is in avisynth's plugins folder (..\program files\avisynth2_5\plugins\)

if dgdecode.dll is already in there, look for warpsharp.dll and take it out of the plugins directory

Followed instructions. Both files were there and I removed the second one. Same error.

Think I need to uninstall then reinstall the app again?

Try using the following code instead:
Code: Select all
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\DGDecode.dll")
dgdecode_mpeg2source("your file.d2v")

:up: Thanks. That worked. Why did I need to do that? How can I fix it going forward?

Well your issue was at least one out of either of these things:
1) Autoloading didn't work. In this case, loading the plugin manually did the trick.
2) You also had another plugin that's called with mpeg2source (such as DVD2AVI's mpeg2dec3). In this case, the function call breaks since it doesn't know which one it's supposed to call, and specifying dgdecode_mpeg2source makes it know which one of the two should it be looking for.
See which of the two fits, but in the first case there's hardly anything you can do besides just giving in and loading the plugin manually each time. It'll work that way so it's not something to worry about. In the second case you can just delete or move the other conflicting dll and call it a day.

Actually, there is: make a .AVSI file in your plugins directory that contains the LoadPlugin line, so the line gets automatically called every time. That's what I do.

I decided to reinstall everything and see what I got.

It works automatically now.

I'll definetly save the info in this thread for future use. Tons of help. :up:

Some software such as the notorious "Super" can break your plugin autoloading. It's possible that you installed that or some other broken software that caused it.

So to not clutter the board, I have an extremely basic script I am using just to tinker.

Lanczos4Resize(720,480)
FastLineDarken(150,100,4,0)
Tweak(sat=1.1,cont=1.1)
Telecide(order=1,guide=0)
Decimate(cycle=5, mode=2)
LoadTDeint()
TDeint(mode=1,order=1)
BlendBob()

Here's what I am getting from my Huffyuv AVI (with "Always suggest RGB" clicked).

You can see the dark shadows kind of where the body "will or would be". I don't get this all the time. On the first picture, the shadow on the white arm on the right is there although that object is NOT moving.

The guides don't tell me what I've screwed up this time.

Besides probably having something that does the same thing twice in my script, is one of my filters causing this?

I'm pretty sure this only applies to vertical resizing, but resizing while your footage is still interlaced is a very bad idea. That, and if you are using dvds as a source, the footage should already be 720x480.

Tweak is probably safe going before your IVTC chain, but fastlinedarken() I'd put after.
I doubt that you actually need tweak in the first place, as TTGL is modern and very colorful to begin with

blendbob should be taken out, as should TDeint (and LoadTDeint() which I assume is just a function that you made to do the loadplugin() thing,) you've already made the footage progressive with Telecide and Decimate. I haven't worked with TTGL, so I don't know if there is a rainbow problem (which is something else blendbob() can handle) but I'd go with LUTDeRainbow(), DMFDerainbow(), Tcomb(), DeRainbow(), or something like that if you do have rainbows to kill.

so then, your script ends up looking like this
Code: Select all
Telecide(order=1,guide=0)
Decimate(cycle=5, mode=2)
FastLineDarken(150,100,4,0)

OK. That worked.

Yes, TDient was me tinkerind.

BlendBob I thought was needed but you were right, it looks better without it.

I put tweak on after everything again because I wanted just a touch more brightness for the inside scenes.

Was the TDient versus my Tel and Dec causing that?

When I say "Causing that", I mean the issues in the picutres.

I don;t get to edit posts here... :?
