I hadn't noticed

Only things I see :
- stop using a codec pack
- stop using ACP
- and BTW stop using avs2.0 ! You are doing all this to go to avs2.5 and you returned to 2.0 ?

Note: upgrading to 2.54 CAN'T SCREW UP the system. The problem are either in the codec pack or other software you had on the disc (divx ripper tool for instance ?).

Installing avisynth, whatever the version, is just putting a dll into the system32 directory and add 2 registry key in the database.

Hi all,
@Phil, Just to make positivly sure I last night Reformatted my harddrive and reinstalled windows from scratch. I have not installed acp at all or avs version 2.0.
I have Installed TMPGEnc PLUS, DVD2AVI Ver1.76, Cqmatic, HeadAc3he +Pent4 D.ll's, DVD Decrypter (latest Version) AVS 2.5 .dll's to AVS install folder. I then Attempted to run a script enclosed.

## Functions ###

function fmin( int f1, int f2) {
return ( f1<f2 ) ? f1 : f2
}

Good news is the .d2v file now plays in TMPGEnc, bad is I keep getting this Error . THERE IS NO FUNCTION MPEG2SOURCE, LINE 6. This was the same error I got previously before the reformat.
I am really at my wits end I have tried everything and still this just will not work.
Any help would be great.
Steve

Did you install the plugins for avisynth 2.5 ?
You need mpeg2dec3.dll and of course all other DLL for all the filters you use in the script.

Phil,
Yes just double checked for any inconpatables in there and they are all 2.5 and the required ones for the script

Steve

I'm sorry but your line here is not very clear : "AVS 2.5 .dll's to AVS install folder."

What does this mean more precisely ? Which dll ? which exact directory ?

Hi,
What I mean is they are installed to a folder called plugins in program files where AVS2.5 is Installed. The Script error is telling me there is a problem with the source but the source ie. the d2v file plays ok in TMPGEnc.
Any Ideas Where I am Going Wrong here. Ironicly once upon a time I got these to play using the 2.5 script now I cant Weird man!
Thanks,
Steve

Read again the message ! It is telling you that there is no function mpeg2source, that means that the mpeg2dec3.dll file IS NOT FOUND in the plugin directory where you put it.

Try to add a "loadplugin" line like you did in avs2.0 to see if that correct the problem. But if it does THAT IS NOT NORMAL !

PS: are you administrator on your PC or do you use a limited privileges user ?

Hi Phil,
Tried the script line errror message said.....couln't find MPEG2DEC3.dll. Took the line out message error as before couldn't find MPEG2Source. I then redownloaded all the CURRENT 2.5 .dll's used in the script and re inserted them in the folder.... No joy, Cant find MPEG2Source again. Did not quiet understand your last statement about privledges except if this helps the computer I use is a family computer set up on NTFS system, with four other users sharing it. It runs Windows 2002 XP with Pnt4 processor 2.0 Ghz..if that makes sence (Iam not a Teckie Lol ) I have only loaded the newest XVID Codec and ACE Mega Codec Pack...
Hope this helps in any way,
Steve.

???
Did you put exactly the complete path that lead to the file and not only its name ?

You have to tell me if the user YOU are using has administrator privileges or not ! It seems to me that all your problems are because you don't have the permission to read in the avisynth/plugin directory !

Hi to all,
I solved the problem with thanks by uninstalling everything and re installing everything methodicly one by one. I also got rid of the ACE Mega codec pack and used a slightly older Gordian knot codec pack. All appears to work now except media player will not read the MPEG2 Video without sound.. POWER DVD does read it ok.
Thank you very much for your patience every body,
Thanks,
Steve.
