Illegal Floating Decimal Point Error
I'm getting this error about 50% of the time these days with tmpgenc 2.510. It just happened again using this script:
Code:
Mpeg2Source("D:\HEIST\VIDEO_TS\heist.d2v") I'm beginning to wonder if it's a bug in tmpgenc 2.510 causing this :?: Anyone else see this error a lot lately? thanks, ren |
trick from perfectcell
hi,
try that it comes from perfectcell...it worked for me to...i was able to clear that but now i am stuck with bbmpeg when muxing...it tells me that it is unable to write to output file...so i can not miux my files... First of all, you have to download virtualdub. In the KVCD template fórum exists a post with the links to download the programs. This post its sticky and the name is "Downloads". Get the program, install in your HD ( unzip ) , and in the directory you installed the program exists a .exe named auxsetup.exe. Execute this program and choose "Install Handler". Open your virtualdub and load your .avs script. In the file menu choose "Start frameserver". You'll see the name of your script. Press enter and then choose a name for your .vdr file ( for example movie.vdr ). Open TMPGenc and loads the movie.vdr, choose your template and start to make your KVCD, because your filters and etc are loaded in virtualdub and put direct in your tmpgenc. |
Hi ren!
I've come across this error a lot lately too... First of all you should adjust your TMPGEnc Environmental Settings right if you haven't yet. Check this link for it : http://www.vcdhelp.com/tmpgenc.htm#problems Other than that you could try big's suggestion. It appeared to me that some specific filter Combinations cause this. try temporalsmoother(2,1) and see if that changes anything... |
Gotten this problem a lot lately with 2.510, and Perfectcell's solution of frameserving with V-dub has worked wonders for me (slows down encoding a little, though). Also solved a weird problem on my laptop of not being able to load any avs files at all witih TMPEnc (2.59 and 2.510)--kept giving me "cannot open file or unsupported type" even though V-dub opens it fine. Go figure! :?

hey guys!
I checked the Environmental Settings and everything looked okay- I increased the DirectShow priority a little.. I'm wondering about this though- if you have an .avs with lots of LoadPlugin lines does avisynth use memory to load the dlls even though the filter isn't called? LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\MPEG2DEC2.dll") LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\legalclip.dll") LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\Dustv5.dll") LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\BlockBuster.dll") LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\FluxSmooth.dll") LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\Sampler.dll") Mpeg2Source("D:\HEIST\VIDEO_TS\heist.d2v") LegalClip() BilinearResize(512,344,3,0,714,480) temporalSmoother(2,2) AddBorders(8,68,8,68) LegalClip() even though I'm not using Dust, BlockBuster, and FluxSmooth are they in the memory somehow? I'm just wondering if the decimal floating point error could be memory related because I do have other apps running while it's encoding :roll: Also in FitCD I set the destination size round to 8, I wonder if I should roll it back to 1 or increase it to 16? I'll frameserve with VDub as a last resort but I'd much rather understand why this error keeps popping up! :wink: thanks, ren |
I've also had this problem 75% into an encode! :cry: I'd also like to know what causes it so if anyone finds out that would be cool!
To save time, I opened what had been encoded in vdub and got the very last but one frame number (as the last frame was corrupt). I then set the trim statement in my avs script so that it starts from the next frame from that. trim(16481, 0) I set tmpegenc off again to finish the last 25% using another file name. To append the 2, I used the merge & cut functionality in tmpegenc. I added both m1v files in the screen and on the first part set the slider to the end. I used the button ¦<< to go back 1 frame and set this as the end marker. The output file was muxed in bbmpeg as normal and surprisingly I did not have any sync errors. I wasn't sure it would work because tmepgenc cannot accurately cut kvcd encodes, but because it was only cutting 1 frame at the end it seemed to work. :D |
Well, frameserving with V-dub doesn't always help!
I actually got this error again yesterday even when frameserving (at a different point in the film than I ever got errors before). I wonder if realunit's idea of loading extra plugins is true...I load all of them also even though I don't use half of them. |
I've had this a lot lately too, but up until now I have not been able to put my finger on any one particular cause
|
I'm starting to think that particular combinations of filters along with cq's higher than ~70 lead to this, but I haven't done extensive testing to figure it out.
|
I encoded "Heist" three times with TMPGenc 2.510. The first two times I got the "illegal floating decimal point" error and the third time the encoder just froze- no error message.
Now I just finished encoding "Heist" using the same script with TMOGenc 2.58 and it did the whole movie with no errors. I also had a couple apps running at the same time too. Maybe 2.510 has a bug :idea: |

I even ghosted my machine back to a clean image before I tried everything. I am now encoding again with avisynth 2.05 to see if that helps, but another 6 hours to go... To find a pattern to why this happens, I suggest we post what filters we are using and what CQ we are encoding at. May help us get to the bottom of it. I was using filters FaeryDust and Convolution3d with legalclip and sampler. My CQ was 70. |

been having same problem as you guys...here is my script...been using tmpenc 2.59 & 2.58...can not put a cq value higher than 70...80 would be my reference value but ot will not take it...

Got the same error with Avisynth 2.05 so it rules that out. :? Going back to 2.07 and Tmpegenc 2.510...
I'm trying CQ 69.9 so that I can finish this particular encode. Not sure if it will work but it fails in different places so it's hard to tell unless I leave it running all the way. Quote:

Well I'm still having endless trouble with this encode (toy story 2). :cry:
Even if I create a VFAPI avi file from the D2V and use this as the input, it still seems to fail with the same error. I've tried everything that has been suggested so far (even lowering the CQ) but it still fails. The strange thing is that it fails in different places but always between 10% and 25% of the encode. Is it worth making an huffy lossless avi and trying that way? Anyone else battling to death with one encode thats not working? :( HELP! |
I had the same problem about a month ago. No matter what I tried I just could not get a successful encode. I even tried doing a huffy lossless avi in VDub.
I finally got the encode to work by switch from CQ to CQ_VBR. I finally decided that I was willing to sacrifice a little quality just so that I could have the darn thing encoded. So try CQ_VBR and see if you have any luck. |

Maybe the problem could be with Avisynth :?: I see that there's been some changes to v2.07 and now there's a 2.08

I encoded with CQVBR and it did not error so thanks wazoqaz! :wink: But I overshot by 50Mb even though the sample size was almost spot on. I can also see more macroblocks in some scenes compared to my incomplete encodes using CQ so I see what you mean by sacrificing quality.
Quote:

I had this issue a couple of times on certain fullscreen movies. I fixed the problem by unchecking SSE and SSE2 in the CPU tab. This obviously slows the encode process down some.
|
is it worth it to encode with cqvbr to solve that problem???
or is it better to use a lower cq value if it is working with a low value??? |
Floating Decimal errors
I just started getting the "illegal decimal...error" in TMPGEnc 2.58 with the current avs script everyone seems to be using. Anybody figured this one out or a good workaround? I'm like Ren in that I would like to solve this problem. My encodes quit at different places during the encodes. Here's my script:
LoadPlugin("D:\Video3\mpeg2dec_dll\MPEG2DEC.dll") LoadPlugin("D:\Video3\mpeg2dec_dll\GripFit_preview .dll") LoadPlugin("D:\Video3\mpeg2dec_dll\blockbuster.dll ") LoadPlugin("D:\Video3\mpeg2dec_dll\legalclip.dll") LoadPlugin("D:\Video3\mpeg2dec_dll\sampler.dll") LoadPlugin("D:\Video3\mpeg2dec_dll\dustv5.dll") LoadPlugin("D:\Video3\mpeg2dec_dll\decomb.dll") LoadPlugin("D:\Video3\mpeg2dec_dll\temporalcleaner old.dll") AVisource("D:\JanesFinished\JanesProjectRev6.avi") + AVisource("D:\JanesFinished\JanesProjectRev601.avi ") + AVisource("D:\JanesFinished\JanesProjectRev602.avi ") LegalClip() FieldDeinterlace() GripCrop( width=352, height=480, overscan=1 ) GripSize() SpaceDust() TemporalCleaner() Blockbuster(method="noise", variance=.3, seed=1 ) GripBorders() LegalClip() #Sampler(length=24) ConvertToRGB24 |
Hi MrRobot,
I think your line ConvertToRGB24 should go AFTER the AVisource line :idea: -kwag |
Illegal decimal error
Actually, putting the ConvertToRGB24 line works by putting it at the end like that. I have encoded several projects on my PC running windows ME with this line at the end. If you remember, the old FitCD had this line at the end also. My laptop running windows XP doesn't need this line however.
I have encoded .d2vs with the dust filters on several occasions with success. Now they seem to hang up the encoding. I tried both SpaceDust and FaeryDust with this particular avi and had no success. When I commented that filter out, it encoded like a champ. Go figure. Thanks alot for all you do. Your patience is awesome. You da man!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Morning everyone.. rendalunit.. MrRobert,
* did you install or un-install any apps and/or drivers (any) recently ?? * did you (and others here) try and drag your AVS scripts into vdub, to see if it opens, and then proceed to scan through it (by dragging the time-line marker Lf to Rt) ?? * have you all tried feeding the AVS script into vdub (w/out any convertToRGB24()) and let vdub do the color conversion, then frameserve it into TMPG. This is the route I usually take in my encodes. I'm one of those who suffer the color issues if I frameserve (directly) an AVS script into TMPG. instead, I have to go the AVS -> vdub -> TMPG route and everything is perfect (color'wise) It may all very well be that you may have to take this route. But, it's not really all that bad. I rather prefer it this way anyways, as I can see my changes when I fiddle w/ AVS scripts :wink: If you add in the line version() in your AVS script, (but preferebly create just the script w/ version() in it) and dragged it into vdub let us knew what it says so we can see exactly what version of AVS you are using. rendalunit.. I tried your script as is copy/past into a new AVS file, and dragged into vdub, and yes, it worked there. I scanned through the whole *.D2V file that way, and got no errors yet. Did you try this route ?? And, if you don't mind my asking, where in the encode are you getting this error (if during encoding) ?? rendalunit.. for test perpuses, I'm encoding the first 21 minutes of Get Karter using your script and feeding the AVS script directly into TMPG. Yes, I at the moment, I can see I'm suffering the color issues. I can see the color as it looks solor flare'ishy or something like that. But, I'm not keeping this, and again, it's for test purposes. I'm trying to see if it crashes or give me an error message like yours or others here. Well, it's got like 50 minutes left to go. I'll report back my final results. K ? Note: I've ben meaning to install the latest AVSynth version but due to other things going on, I haven't yet reached that point. So, the current version of mine is still: Avisynth v1.0 beta 5 Well, I must say, I have like 18 different windows opend w/ things going on, and 57% resources left, but so far, I'm having no trouble w/ encoding the original script at hand. Have a good day all. -vhelp |
Morning everyone.. rendalunit.. MrRobert,
FYI: Ok, I just finished the first 21 minutes of encode and all went well. hmmm... So, I don't know why you are having issues. I used TMPG v2.53 and Avisynth v1.0 beta 5 and the output was "solor flare city" but good quality still.. and no sound.. I forgot about the sound 8O rendalunit.. I did notice something odd, you AddBorders( 8,68,8,68 ) was curious.. as I could see the empty space on top and bottom, in other words, it actually shrank the video clip top to bottom some. But, quality was good. -vhelp |
:evil: Well, I've gotten this "Illegal floating decimal" error twice this morning with TMPG 2.510 (this makes about the 4th or 5th time for me over ~ 2 months of kvcd-ing). Both times today, it happened @ 73% (source position 16:44) into the encoding of a ~ 23minute fullscreen anime.
Since this hasn't happened very often for me, I decided to just try the exact same script and settings on the 2nd try to see what would happen (the first 2 times I ever got this error, I simply lowered my CQ by .1 and then it worked). I guess I'm going to have to try that trick once again here and see if it works (hopefully I won't have to resort to any of the other "things to try" listed in this thread). It'd be nice if there would be a totally stable TMPG release one of these days...it seems like there's always some tiny bug here or there that needs working out. :roll: Guess we really can't complain though, considering the price! :wink: -d&c Code:
here's the script I was using: |
Wow i wonder why the board didn't show my any new posts in this thread since last month :?:
Quote:
that version of avisynth you're using is kinda old isn't it :lol: You might consider upgrading your versions of AviSynth and TMPGEnc :wink: :wink: :wink: So far I haven't had this error and I've been doing lot's of encoding lately :D I'm using: TMPGEnc 2.58 AviSynth 2.08 *not using GripCrop because I found it's super slow with some DivX sources for some reason my system is P4 1600 w/ win xp I'm not frameserving with VDub because it disrupts my routine too much :lol: ren |
Try the newest 2.08 "legacy" build from the CVS-bin site in my sig. This seem to cure many "Float point" problems!

Got it :!:
Thanks sh0dan :wink: -kwag |
hi rendalunit.. pal..
>> Wow i wonder why the board didn't show my any new posts in this thread >> since last month ..I know how you feel. I'm having this same issue (even now, as I write this) over had dvdrhelp - - Star Wars.. thread there, that I posted at a few times and I was keeping track w/ it. Now, I have to find out (at work) that it's ben updated w/ new items - rats !! >> that version of avisynth you're using is kinda old isn't it You might >> consider upgrading your versions of AviSynth and TMPGEnc yes, ya bumm he he.. :) I'm still finishing up on lots of projects and I really don't want any excuse for any of them to have other issues, by installing other codecs or plugins etc, in other words, I don't want to taint/jinx meself. However, if all it is is a DLL, I'd be :) HAPPY :) to push it into my ..\systems directory and give AVIsynth a go.. and not to mention mauddib's.. app (though I have tried it out quite a bit, but that most of the "latest" Filters he incorporated don't work do to the version of AVIsynth I have. I heard that it was just a DLL, but I can't be sure. Do you (or anyone know) ?? ?? >> I'm using: >> TMPGEnc 2.58 >> AviSynth 2.08 Thanks, but I'm sticking w/ TMPG v2.53 for now. I have no complaints, and see no real benefit to upgrading to higher version. I'll look into AVIsynth, pending yourr' or anyone elses response to Q above. Well, I've ben messing around w/ some more divX stuff. In one project, I'm planning on capping an hour's worth of some movie and encoding it to divX and finally, see how it looks when re-ended to MPEG-2 (CVD maybe) I don't know if you do divX project (divX -> TMPG -> kvcd) but if you do, and you want to check out some samples, I'll post here for you (and others) K ? Gosh, so many fun things to do he he.. Don't you just love it all ?? Well, it's 7:49pm here in NY.. Have a good evening everyone. -vhelp |
I got rid of my illegal floating point problems by going back to fluxsmooth and blockbuster noise instead of faerydust and temporalcleaner.

Follow up to my previous post:
What a pain in the a**! :x It took ~ 2days to encode one lousy 23-minute 'toon! I mean, I'm a patient guy(I usually use FaeryDust for goodness sake!...so you know I've gotta be patient! :lol: ), but this was pushing my limits. What's strange is that this particular episode was the 7th one in the series, and I had already used the exact same script on the previous 6 with no problems whatsoever. Then I ran into all these problems on the 7th one. They were all practically identical I'd say in terms of their makeup (colors/size/action/etc). Oh well. I don't know what set this little bug off or from where it derived exactly, but I hope I don't EVER see it again. Think I'm gonna switch to SpaceDust instead of FaeryDust for the rest of this series, that's for sure. :roll: Thanks to all for your advice. -d&c UPDATE#2: I ran a batch encode of 9 more episodes last night substituting only SpaceDust for FaeryDust in my previous script with no other changes, and no errors occurred. I guess it was just something about that particular episode and the combination of filters I was using with FaeryDust. |
Illegal Floating Decimal
Did this issue die for lack of interest or was it cured by something in the previous posts?
I would like to know if it was solved. thanks |
Hi Guys :cry: :x
My turn to fight with this illegal damn...: Look this log of Tmpgenc 2.58 Code:
Start: 6/4/2003 22:27:58 Can anyone help ??? LaBomba PS. Some figures: avisinth 2.08, anime DVD souce, using a lot of scripts options, including MSharpen() filter ever. |
hi labomba :wink:
i got some problems using avisynth 2.08... :( using TMPGenc 2.510 ,2.59 or 2.58 ! after remove avisynth 2.08, all versions is working fine! maybe is your problem too,.. :? ps: sometimes i read that versions of TMPGenc have bugs, one faster than another,etc. i never feel any differences in this versions...for me all working and got the same size,time to encode,etc! |
Thanks Jorel! :wink:
I downloaded the 2.08 legacy version adviced by Shodan. If this problem occurs again, I'll back to the 2.07 version. LaBomba |
Hey Labomba,
Posting the script you used when you got the error might be helpful (emphasis on "might"). :wink: I've been using avisynth 2.08-Legacy ever since Sh0dan recommended it in this thread, and I haven't had another problem since then on any regular movies I've encoded. After I switched from FaeryDust to SpaceDust, the rest of the cartoons I was working on at the time I posted in this thread all completed 100% successfully. Maybe try changing a few of the filters you're using? Good luck. -d&c |
