Strange DVD2AVI / AVISynth occurance...

Postby klinky » Wed Oct 02, 2002 7:17 pm

I've had this problem a couple times and I've seen others complaining of it to. AVISynth gives you a some sort of exception error and MPEG2SOURCE will not load your old working D2V file.

In my case I ripped 4dvds onto my hard drive and had the d2v projects all made and the scripts setup properly. Then I got sick of WinXP and uninstalled it, then put Win2k on again.

I installed the AMVApp pack. I tried my old WORKING AVS files and I got back some sort of "exception error", I don't know the exact wording, but it's classic for "corrupted D2V file". I open up the D2V files and verify the paths to the vobs are correct and that all the vobs are in their proper location.

I then decided to bite the bullet and just remake the D2V files, which would take about 20minutes for all four of them :roll: not something I wanted to do. So I did one of the discs(End Of Eva). Loaded it into VirtualDub, worked fine. W00T, I'll do the rest tommorow I thought and went to bed.

Today I get up and need a clip from on of the DVDs I hadn't redone the D2V file from. I had left DVD2AVI running on my computer and I try opening a new set of VOBs, I notice that I had actually done Eva Disc1, not End of Eva last night and loaded EoE in to VirtualDub by mistake. I then close down DVD2AVI and go try my AVS files again. THEY ALL WORK!!! WTF?

Does loading DVD2AVI do something or put something in the registry to make it work, I did notice that DVD2AVI had something like a VFAPI plugin option under HELP, not sure if that does anything.

Can anyone shed some light on how launching DVD2AVI and re-doing just one D2V file, made all four of them work? :shock:

it's quite strange but it's possible that dvd2avi opens and closes some libraries that that fix the problem. Useful to know, though :)

Of course, there is also that possiblity that it is something else fixing it, but that's less easy to tell.
