DGIndex error message

Postby marthwmaster » Tue Jun 22, 2010 1:08 pm

I'm trying to put my recently-ripped Blood+ footage into DGIndex. Moving individual files seems to work okay, but whenever I drag a whole DVD's worth of files into the program, it says either "can't find video stream!" or "file contains all nulls!"

I haven't encountered this problem before, but I did notice something rather odd about the DVDs when running DVD Decrypter. Unlike the other DVDs I've tried, in which the full length of the video is in one clump, each of the Blood+ DVDs seem to be divided into each individual episode, so that each must be ripped separately (or if there is a way to still rip them all at once, I do not know how).

Is it possible the issue I'm having is related to this, and is there any way to fix the problem?

You need to set the PID for the correct video stream (steams -> set PID).

How do I find out what the correct video stream is?

Experiment, it doesn't take long to cycle through them all.

I don't get it. I go Stream -> Set PIDs, but then it has values in boxes for "Video," "Audio," and "PCR" PID. Am I supposed to just randomly type numbers into those boxes, or what?

Nevermind, I think I figured it out. I was misreading my instructions, and was putting the wrong files into the DGIndex.

Thanks for your help!

Oh, how I wish I could edit previous posts. Now I've made my script and all that, but when I try to put it into VirtualDubMod, I get the following message: "Avisynth open failure: MPEG2Source : unable to open file "C:\Documents and Settings\Marthwmaster\Desktop\anime footage\Blood+\Blood+ Volume 1.d2v" (C:\Documents and Settings\Marthwmaster\Desktop\anime footage\Blood+ Volume 1\Blood+ Volume 1.avs, line 1)

The first line of my script file reads: Mpeg2Source("C:\Documents and Settings\Josh computer\Desktop\anime footage\Blood+\Blood+ Volume 1.d2v")

How do I fix this so that it will open properly?

Well the thing that jumps out at me is that the paths are different. One says 'Marthwmaster' the other says 'Josh computer'...unless you changed that to obfuscate the post.

In the script, stick to just the name of the .d2v and see if that works. Also, don't store footage/editing stuff/whatever like that on the Desktop (and that even includes subfolders on the Desktop). I've seen too many cases where accessing real files from the Desktop just likes to screw with stuff like AviSynth or encoding apps.

If your d2v files are in the same dir as your avs file, just dgdecode_mpeg2source("Blood+ Volume 1.d2v"), but you should probably use DVD Decrypter's PGS editor to split it into invidual episodes for ease of seeking/finding.

Oops! Yeah, I changed the path name because the person who fixed my computer a while ago thought I wanted to name it "Josh computer" for some reason, and I think it's a rather stupid name.
