TMPGEnc: Why DVD2AVI 1.77.3 doesn't load correctly via Avisynth?
 

I am only posting this for those that don't know to further advance the exchange of knowledge.


I've found that the basic differences between DVD2AVI 1.76 and DVD2AVI 1.77.3 is in the header information, specifically the Luminance line and the additional comments that have been added to the end of each parameter setting. If you remove all the comments and change the "Luminance_Filter=" parameter to "Luminance=" the .d2v file should load correctly via avisynth. You will need to manually edit the following changes, or simplY use DVD2AVI 1.76.

Below is an example of what I mean (That which is in

"Red" needs to modified)

1. NON-VALID DVD2AVI (.d2v) file for avisynth

I hope this clears up some things.
