TOK is Doing Nothing but Gobbling up Memory?

[incognito]

OK I thought I had it under control. I loaded my avi and created my avs.

#=====================================================#
# -= AviSynth script by MovieStacker v2.0.0 (beta) =- #
#=====================================================#

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\MPEG2Dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\GripFit_preview.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\BlockBuster.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\UnFilter.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\LegalClip.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\Sampler.dll")

AviSource("G:\Ripps\Current\TheCureDisintegration.avi", false)
LegalClip()
GripCrop(352, 240, overscan=1, source_anamorphic=false)
GripSize(resizer="BicubicResize")
UnFilter(50, 50)
TemporalSmoother(1, 2)
MergeChroma(blur(1.58))
MergeLuma(blur(0.2))
BlockBuster(method="noise", detail_min=1, detail_max=7, variance=1.0, seed=1)
GripBorders()
LegalClip()

I opened the avs in VDub no problem. I loaded the avs in ToK and got the " in not a valid integer value error and got this log from ToK:

=============================================================
ToK Log: G:\Ripps\Current\TheCure.avs
=============================================================
 
Resolution (fps):352x240 (29.970 fps)
Total Frames: 135231
Total Time  : 01:15:12
-------------------------------------------------------------

So it looks OK; I thought. I loaded up my mp2 audio gave the Final mpg a name and hit START...Then I got this:

Can not open file C:\My DocumentsVideo Edit\ToK\opt\video.en1.

So I hit OK the I ended up with a new avs titled video.avs in my work folder. I opened the new avs in VDub and it seems OK. ToK had this in the log:

=============================================================
ToK Log: G:\Ripps\Current\TheCure.avs
=============================================================
 
Resolution (fps):352x240 (29.970 fps)
Total Frames: 135231
Total Time  : 01:15:12

Full Sample
Next CQ: 1.000

And now ToK is doing nothing but gobbling up memory. Anyone have any ideas to what the deal is? Also I don't know if it makes a difference but in the "Main" tab in ToK there are no values in Min Bitrate and Max Bitrate, and Initial CQ is 1. All the other boxes have values in them.

Set minimum bitrate to 300, maximum to 2500, and bump your CQ up to 60 or 70 before you start ToK. Then try again and see what happens.

Same thing...

I think it has something to do with this:

"Can not open file C:\My DocumentsVideo Edit\ToK\opt\video.en1."

For some reason it's looking for things in the opt folder instead of the ToK folder. Copied the file over and finally everything seems to be running.

Excuse me, but where is Tok installed on your PC ?

It's strange to have "C:\My DocumentsVideo Edit\ToK\opt\video.en1" and not "C:\My Documents\Video Edit\ToK\opt\video.en1"

Did you modify manually the ini file of Tok ?

No I just missed the extra \

[Dialhot]

. Okay !

But, for your information, video.en1 is supposed to be in opt. If you didn't find it there, you should have deleted it before !

The opt folder was never in my original install. I had to create it myself. What else is supposed to be in there?

Well after a bottle of Advil I finally finished my first kvcd encode. It looks beautiful. Now I am going to try to convert an avi at 23.976 fps to kvcd at 29.97 fps. I don't think my player can handle 23.976 fps.

BTW the 352x240 Plus template worked on my DVD player.
