DVD2SVCD: Error in MA script when going to TMPGEnc
 

First off, the error I get is a small pop up window when TMPHEnc starts.

It says 'The resolution of the video is illegal. The windows size needs to be set between 8x8 and 4088x4088. The width and height of window needs to be multiple of 8'.

I did a search using illegal AND resolution, and found a reference to a more recent version of mpeg2dec3.dll than I had been using. So I popped that in, but nope. The resolution of the AVI I am attempting to convert is 480x360, and I am converting to 352x240. However, at the bottom of TMPPGEnc, it says DVD2SVCD (MPEG-1 604x56 23.976fpsCQ_VBR 25). Well, 604/8 is 74.5

I'm close, but any ideas?

thanks

Tom

I should add that I had uninstalled
 

All copies of DivX, and Xvid, and edited/cleaned up the system registry.

Tom

Look at the AVISynthscript!!!!

If You using AS 2.5.2 try this Script:

I edited the lines in the fatt letters for You, so it should work... Copy this Script 1:1 and add it to Your DVD2SVCD.INI on the end... Next You start D2S You can open it at AVisynth setup...

Thank you very much. Am trying it right now, and will report back asap on what happens.

No; exact same error message about illegal size (the odd thing is, if I remove the MA script from my ini file, I have no trouble getting to a KVCD?


Tom

For sure, because your problem wasn't were Avalon told you. Moreover is gave you false hints tellling you to use "Source_anamorphic=true" were you have avi, than means "source_anamorphic=false" and his script is so old that you won't have the last optimal picture that you can obtain with MA filter.
(did you do your test with this script ? If yes, I understand why it take you so much time...)

But your problem is elsewhere :
Try to add "ConvertToRGB24()" at the end of the script and load it into TMPGEnc. If it solves the res problem, you definitely have a codec problem.

Done; I am using your script, as provided, but with a ConvertToRGB24() added as it's very last line. Will report back when I get to work.

Thanks

Fails in the same way :)
 

Illegal resolution; windows must be between 8x8 and 4088x4088 with multiples of 8. This is with ConvertToRGB() added as the last line of your (Dialhot's) adaptive script supplied to me, and then pasted into the end of my kvcd_lbr.ini file (loaded after DVD2SVCD is started). Done with an unmodified (non hex edited exe file).

I had, prior to this removed all DivX's and Xvids from my system, and then cleaned the registry manually. I suppose that the next step would be to;

a) uninstall DVD2SVCD.exe, remove AviSynth2.52, remove all AVS plugins, and delete all directories, and then

b) reinstall everything.

:lol: Unless there are better options? Now, if it makes any difference, I do have an ATI YV12 codec installed.....



thanks

Tom

Re: Fails in the same way :)
 

I said "ConvertToRGB24", the "24" is important !

So you have 3 convert in the script ? One 'toYUY2' added by D2S, one 'ToYV12' at the top of the script, added by you, and finally "ToRGB24' at the end. Right ?

I also have but gspot never reported I use it in any time. Divx5.05 and last XVid are enought to obtain correct KVCD from DS2, using MA script, and NO convert at all (binary patched of course).

There is something really strange...

Re: Fails in the same way :)
 

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention whilst typing at work. It was, in fact ConvertToRGB24()

No more toYV12 after you had told me that with proper and non conflicting codecs installed that it would not be necessary. Just a toYUY2 added by D2S, and a ToRGB24() by me right at the end

Yes my friend, there really is something strange :o I am a Biochemist by trade, so perhaps I don't approach computers as logically as I should :oops:

So, otnight when I get home from work, it will be uninstall and then observe which codecs I have, and reinstall, then adding the plugins only as necessary to get a specific AVS script running, using only your supplied MA script.


thanks

Tom
(will report back)

Can you post the script you use? Maybe I'm wrong but I think it will be much easy to understand why it doesn't work.

Re: Fails in the same way :)
 

BUT... the "no more YV12" was ONLY if you a PATCHED the binairy !
If you don't, your movie is in YUY2 (do to the line added by D2S) and the MA script CAN'T work.

That's simple to understand, no ? MA SCRIPT CLAIMS TO BE IN YV12 !

It seems so :-)

excuse me:

Phil,
you change the in the script
TemporalCleaner(6+nf,13+nf)
to
TemporalCleaner(6+nf,11+nf)
a few days ago and give me great explanations about this changes.

:wink:

thanks!

AS 2.5.2 buggy ??
 

When I go to install AviSynth_252.exe it has a WARNING. Is there an updated version I need to download?? Or are there certain PRECAUTIONS I should take during or after the install??

THANKS....

mrj03

what WARNING :?:
certain PRECAUTIONS :?:
:?
download the last avisynth:
http://cultact-server.novi.dk/kpo/avisynth/avs_cvs.html
just simple install (double click), nothing more :!:

:)
