moviestacker cant work with avisynth?
 

If moviestacker cant work with avsynth 2.52 & Dvd2Avi 1.77.3
Then how are all these people working with 2.52's scripts ?

Ive tryed makin "d2v" files with Dvd2Avi 1.77.3 that work with
Avsynth 2.52, But no such luck They wont load in tmpgenc.
Can someone give me some heavyduty instructions ta using 2.52 with 1.77.3,

(PS I can work with the older avs2.08 & Dvd2Avi 1.76)
Just not the new one :(
Pleeeease help :cry:

If you install avisynth 2.52, and then you go to your C:\Program files\Avisynth 2.5\Examples
Can you open the file "Version.avs" in WMP :?:
If avisynth is installed correctly, WMP should display the version.

it does read out the verson number when i do that (so if avsynth 2.52 is installed corretly then where am i going wrong?

Good. Next step :)
Create a .d2v project with DVD2AVI 1.77.3 and then create an .avs script with only these two lines:

LoadPlugin("C:\Filters25\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
Mpeg2Source("X:\Your_Path\Your_File.d2v")

Make sure you are using MPEG2DEC3.dll and check your paths.
Now see if you can open this .avs with VirtualDub. You should see the movie or some error :!:

k bak in 5 mins :D

k bak still not workin in vdub :cry:

What's the error you get in Vdub :?:

Avisynth open faliure
Evaluate: Unrecognized exception!
(C:\Documents and settings\AMD Athon XP 2000\Desktop\Tester.avs, line 2)

What is the source you're creating the .d2v from :?:
It is a DVD right :?:

-kwag

ye DVD on the harddisk

Question: Is this the only DVD you have tried, or have you tried other DVDs too :?:

Im not too sure of what way u meant that but I've ripped alotta movies but to divx so its not the first movie ive done But this is the 1st 1 i've done kvcd style

Like i said b4 ive done it with avs 2.08 yesterday but i want quality in the motion aspect of the film aswell so i need ta switch ta 2.52 & 1.77.3

No, I mean if you have tested other .d2v files from other VOBs like this :?:

no just this 1

can u copy & paste an exact copy of a test script where i would only have ta change the location of the d2v file , so that i may see if that works ?

I see (guess!) you have an Athlon XP :!: The only difference is that I have a Pentium 4. So I don't know if there's an issue with AviSynth 2.52 and Athlon processors :!:

You can create another project from another set of VOBs, and just overwrite your test .d2v file. Then you don't have to change the script, because it will reference the same .d2v :)

Well chances of that r like almost non dont u think ? i mean the old 1 2.08 can work why wouldent the newer 1

honestly i dont even know how the 2.52 script should even look like can u copy & paste me a lil sample maybe i typed things wrong

Because 2.5x is a whole new ball game :!:
But try another set of VOBs from another movie, just to try to narrow down the problem :!:

K ... I will do that b bak soon hope your around lol

Here's a complete working script I'm currently encoding with:

b4 i go take 10 mins ta ripp im gonna load your script & try it i tryed & it lookin for dlls gripfit ect ect im gonna go find the dlls & hit u bak

k i loaded your exact script & my own filename & installed all the filters it requires in c:\filters25 & now when i open an avs file in wmp 9 it says ...

MPEG2Source couln't open file
(c:\documents and settings\AMD Athlon XP 2000\Desktop\Tester.avs. Line 24)

Now im gettin a diff set of vobs from a diff source

no kwag it wont even work with another movie ? :cry:
whats going on> said somethin about a evealuate exceprtion!

am i doomed to 2.52 ? How much better exacty is it compared with its sister program 2.08 ?
Is there a bigtime picture & motion quality difference ?

Guess u went ta bed with the quickness lol
I figured out that dvd2avi 1.76 works with avs2.52 But
When I play the avs file in wmp its upside down
HELP !!

While "Kwag" was sleeping ...
 

While Kwag was sleepin :zzzsleep: I managed ta figure out that Dvd2Avi 1.76 will in fact work with avs2.52 scripts :wink: :) :o :D :angel:
Now if only someone can tell me how ta make my 16:9 movies stretch & almost fit the whole screen (top & bottom)
Any1?

Think back to Geometry class?
 

There is only one way to make a 16:9 movie fit full screen. Cut off information.

That is what PAN SCAN is... it is cutting off the left and the right sides of the frame leaving only the portion that could be shown on a TV screen.

The idea of PAN is that the center of the frame shifts to make sure the key parts of the shot are included in the part that is shown. Most movies are pretty centered so you only lose panoramic data but not always. Most TV versions of a movie have sceens that were shot twice... once for 16:9 and once for TV. Editing those scenes is another part of the PAN SCAN process.

I believe that PAN SCAN is not even truly the same as TV. It is still a bit wider of a format and sometimes it is just stretched to fit instead of being cropped further.

There is no way to keep the 16:9 on a TV unless you keep the black bars on top and bottom.
