Directshow source Help in AVIsynth? Script Error Invalid Arguments?
 

Hi i have a few files in .wmv and can't figure out what to do and everytime i try to use directShowSource i never can get it to work,do you need to get a plugin for it or is it built in Avisynth 2.52.

Here is my script

the message i get is

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanx

Read the doc provided with avisynth (under the "docs" directory). You will see that directshowsource do not have the same syntax than avisource and so, the ",false" on the line isn't correct at this place.

thanx Dialhot,working now

bigggt,

How are you extracting the audio from the WMV files? I'm using goldwave and it's really slooooooow :!:

Thnx,
ren

Hi ren

I actually gave up on them because i finally got them to load but then tempgenc would just freeze so i found a program that converted them to mpg.(not with great quality like we are used to but it worked)

'm having the same probelms with the invalid arguments.. but the filters are installed in the avisynth plugins folder. It will say invalid arguments to function leakkerneldeint.dll & any other .dlls I'm using.

Please help

I have doubt your question has anything to do with a mistake in Directshowsource as mentionned originally in this tread.
You should have a syntax error somewhere; Post your entire, not modified script. The problem can also be in any ".avsi" file that you can have in the plugin directory of avisynth, as they are all loaded by avisynth before the first line of your avs script.

Mpeg2Source=("G:\beauty 1\ep 1.d2v")
leakKernelDeint()
undot()
asharp(1, 4)
GripCrop(352,240,overscan=1,source_anamorphic=fals e)
GripSize(resizer="BicubicResize")
STMedianFilter(3, 3, 1, 1 )
MergeChroma(blur(1.5))
MergeLuma(blur(0.1))

ScriptClip(" nf = YDifferenceToNext()" +chr(13)+ "unfilter( -(fmin(round(nf)*2, 100)), -(fmin(round(nf)*2, 100)) ).TemporalSoften( fmin( round(2/nf), 6), round(1/nf) , round(3/nf) , 1, 1) ")

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

I wasn't haivng problems with the direct show source - only the invalid arguments part.

Did you ever see a "=" on the mpeg2source line in any of the scripts we post here ? :roll:

if I don't invlude the = it can't find the .d2v file

So why didn't you start with that first ?

The error message is "Can't open the d2v" file or "Can't find the d2v file" ? The meaning is not the same.

unable to load .d2v file

Ok. The version of DGDecode.dll is not correct.
You have to use the one corresponding to the DGIndex that you use. Update it in the plugin directory of avisynth if it is not the correct one.

If you are still using dvd2avi, then I suggest you to stop using it, remove Mpeg2Dec3.dll from your avisynth directory, use DGIndex inteed and put the DGDecode.dll that is delivered with DGIndex into the avisynth plugin directory.

I suggest also to change "Mpeg2Source" into "DGDecode_Mpeg2source" to be sure about what plugin is used.
