AviSynth error in virtualdub

Mol · Post by **Mol** » Sat May 10, 2008 2:48 am

You have go space in your file name and if you want to use those filters try smth like this:
MPEG2Source("C:\LovehinaAgain1.d2v")
MPEG2Dec3()
Decomb(1)
and about decomb i think you can set strenght from 0-to smth

i'm not sure you can check it in avisynth documentation there is a nice description for filters in it

Oh and Mpeg2Source might not work try to open your d2v with virtualdubmod and when loading you can test avisynth loading options,but propably it will work with none

so script will look like(directshoweis optional if smth else is working write it instead but if none try every option of loading by re-editing script) or just run it with virtualdubmod and convert firstly to avi wchich wibe easier to work with...

Directshowsource C:\LovehinaAgain1.d2v")
MPEG2Dec3()
Decomb(1)

and about Mpeg2Dec3 i never used it so you can try MPEG2Dec without a number

eh, filenames can have spaces in them, so that shouldn't be the problem.
You should be using mpeg2source in your example there
mpeg2dec3 and decomb aren't functions...so that'l make your script not work (they allow you to use mpeg2source and telecide/decimate respectively)

I've tried it from every angle...everything from Phantasmagoriat's post down

same message, same everything
I've uninstalled and reinstalled 4 times, double checked the filters, wrote 7 different scripts trying to open the same d2v file, and nothin makes a difference

Here's what the latest script looks like:

MPEG2Source("C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Videos\Edit projects\LovehinaAgain 1.d2v")
MPEG2Dec3()
Decomb(1)

The "Directshowsource" thing didn't do much

I even tried moving the d2v file somewhere else and changing the path, but no luck

*see my last post about mpeg2dec3 and decomb

try taking a screenshot of your plugins folder and posting it.
there should be a prt scrn key or something similar on your keyboard, press it
then open up paint and paste (ctrl + v)
then save as jpg, gif...whatever.
upload to a site like www.imageshack.us

ok, here's the screen of the plugin folder

at this point, I don't even know why I have mpeg2dec 3 and decomb in the script. I should review the guide again, I just remember having to put them in there at some point

here's where I get stuck

I got this problem when I installed AMVapp. Remember the message what it said some scripts might not be compatible? Just uninstall AviSynth, go under Program Files and DELETE the AviSynth foldier, then re-install AviSynth.

ok, this is different...and wierd

so, I uninstalled avisynth and reinstalled via amvapp. I open up virtual dub and select "open video file via avisynth" under the file menu, and this pops up:

My script that I'm trying to open has been reduced to one line:

MPEG2Source("C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Videos\Edit projects\LovehinaAgain1.d2v")

Should I try to redo the d2v file in DGIndex? Or what would be the next step here?

Kariudo · Post by **Kariudo** » Sun May 11, 2008 12:37 pm

the next step is to delete dgindex and dgdecode.dll and get them again from here (version 1.4.9 is what you'll want, not 1.5.0)

Ravensoldier22 · Post by **Ravensoldier22** » Mon May 12, 2008 1:26 pm

well, I did that

and ended up redoing my d2v file in the new dgindex, double checking my script, and I still get the same error message, but the only difference is the last line is missing.

it still says the "obselete d2v file" part

I don't get it...I uninstalled DVD2AVI and the old DGIndex and the DGdecode.dll

the same warning about moving/renaming d2v files applies to the .vob files
[the .avs points to .d2v; the d2v points to .vob]

if that's not it, I would guess the versions of software in use aren't consistent with the d2v file you are trying to open; so when things like this happen to me... instead of trying to isolate the problem... I just uninstall the whole AMVapp, run a program called ccleaner to tidy up my computer, then reinstall the whole app; making sure to not update anything [which could cause software version incompatibilities]. You'll have to remake the d2v files though :/
hope that helps
