Avisynth: Parse Error - String Missing closing quotation mark
 

Hey All...

Im trying to encode a tottally legal video i made this time :wink: (That wasn't sarcasm its a video of my trip to canada)

So i decided to try something different and use MA script, I play it in WMP and it gives me the following Error:

Parse Error: String Missing closing quotation mark

So i went thru the script and i found out the error was coming from this line:

ScriptClip("nf = YDifferenceToNext()"+chr(13)+ "nf >= SwitchThreshold ? \

On coloumn number 47 to be exact which is round about here:

............................+chr(13)+ .........................

>>??<< am i supposed to add something in here >>??<<

Copy and paste the whole script here!

Full Script
 

Indeed i will and here it is...

Check if you do not have any spaces after the '\'' caracters in line "Scriptclip" and "unfilter"?

Then remove the quote that is in the source file (Video's).

spaces and "'" Gone still dont work
 

i got rid of the spaces after "/" and took out the ' but i still get

parse error, string missing closing quotation mark: Line 30, coloumn 47


:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

im using avisynth 2.5.2 if this makes any difference

And without the space after the second '+' on line 30 ?

I got rid of that space just then exact same problem but on coloumn number 46 now

Are you sure you do not have avs2.5.1 ?

Definatly

Can you please post your complete "corrected" script :?:
If i remember well you should use Legalclip() instead of Limiter() with a prior avisynth version.

What I do not understand is that LanczosResize need only 4 parameters and not 6. Thus you should have an error on this line.

So I have a problem : did you copy really the script you use or not ?

Change the name of your directory from "Video's" to "Videos" and try exactly this script :

(note that all from "Scriptclip" to ",1)" must be on a single line !)

please,copy and paste to your script and test:

SwitchThreshold=(Width<=352)?4:(Width<=288)?3:2
ScriptClip("nf=YDifferenceToNext()"+chr(13)+"nf>=S witchThreshold?\unfilter(-(fmin(round(nf)*2,100)),-(fmin(round(nf)*2,100))):\TemporalSoften(fmin(roun d(2/nf),6),round(1/nf),round(3/nf),1,1)

....no spaces between anything!


"Video's" to "Videos" is a great hint too(like Phil recomendations)
:!:

LegalClip is for avs2.0x, Limiter for avs2.5x. So no problem there.

Yep Phil, you're right. I've only read your comment "not using avisynth 2.5.1" and thought he would be using 2.0x :oops: . Sorry.

Re: Full Script
 

Doesn´t that line always have to be,

SwitchThreshold = (Width<=352) ? 4 : (Width<=480) ? 3 : 2

Yes, you're right, I didn't notice this.

Re: Full Script
 

oh yes,i see too Cheron,
but the source is "niagara.avi" and
i don't understand anything about .avis or divx sources,
then i "stay in silence"!
:oops:

I used Dialhots Script it came with the same error on line 11 coloumn 46...

Tried with jorels idea of no spaces, same error line 11 coloumn 44

and yes this is the exact script i am using

try again please...copy and paste:

ScriptClip("nf=YDifferenceToNext()"+chr(13)+"nf>=S witchThreshold?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)")

it's a single line without spaces!

...i think that is the
")
in the end of the line!

:wink:

I think I´ve found it, you´re missing this quotation mark,
TemporalSoften( fmin( round(2/nf), 6), round(1/nf) , round(3/nf) , 1, 1) ")
Just copy and paste this line!

THANKS! You guys Rock!...

Well that fixed that problem

Thanks for all your help again it looks great :D

hey guys i found a diff prob now :cry:

i can play the video and watch it no prob but at the bottom in grey writing "Script Error: there is no fuction called unfilter" flashes every now and then,

whats wrong with my code now?

The message is cristalin : you are missing the plugin Unfilter.dll !
DL it and put it with all other plugin.

thats the thing i got "UnFilter.ddl" in my plugin's directory i just doubled checked then.

You have Unfilter.dll or Unfilter.ddl in your directory ?

Double check also the spelling. The message is clear : avisynth doesn't find the dll, so there must be a problem there.

Sorry its .dll but its UnFilter.dll, could it be the caps?

Not at all. Avs does not relies on the name of the plugin (else it will never find GripCrop because it is included in GrifitPreview_YV12.dll ! :-))

It loads everything that is in the plugin directory and llok for the name of the function that are declared in these dll.

You should check if you have DL the correct version of the DLL, if the read permission is set on the file.

8O YES DIALHOT I COMPLETLY UNDERSTAND YOU :lol:

All i know is that i downloaded the 2.5 version from this site...

http://www.trbarry.com/UnFilter.zip

and i put all the files in the 2.5 Alpha Folder inside the zip into my avisynth 2.5 plugins directory

Did you extract the paths too? IIRC, the UnFilter dll is in a specific folder in the zip file. If you extract the file with "Use folder names" checked, the dll file ends up in a wrong place, such as c:\program files\avisynth 2.5\plugins\2.5 alpha\ whereas it should be c:\program files\avisynth 2.5\plugins\ .

No the dll is in the plugins folder for avisynth

Do a simple test with this script :
If it works, You definitely have a type mismatch somewhere in you're script. That's the only explanation.
Else, the filter isn't in the right directory.

You should only have DLLs and .AVSI files (if any) in the plugin folder! Other files may cause you problems, at least it was this way some time ago.

Like this,

LoadPlugin("E:\-=[ KVCD ]=-\Filters\Mpeg2dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\-=[ KVCD ]=-\Filters\LegalClip.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\-=[ KVCD ]=-\Filters\UnFilter.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\-=[ KVCD ]=-\Filters\GripFit_preview.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\-=[ KVCD ]=-\Filters\STMedianFilter.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\-=[ KVCD ]=-\Filters\DustV5.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\-=[ KVCD ]=-\Filters\DctFilter_YUY2.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\-=[ KVCD ]=-\Filters\Convolution3D.dll")

Mpeg2Source("D:\DVDtoKVCD\vts_03.d2v")

LegalClip()

unfilter(50,50)
GripCrop(704, 576, overscan=3)
#TextSub("D:\DVDtoKVCD\vts_01.srt")
GripSize(resizer="BicubicResize")
STMedianFilter(8, 32, 0, 0, 8, 32)
#SpaceDust() # Optional - for some "not so clean" DVDs.
temporalsmoother(1,2)
mergechroma(blur(1.50))
mergeluma(blur(0.2))
#Convolution3D(preset="animeBQ")
GripBorders()

LegalClip()

I use to have all .dll and associated documentation (.txt or .htm) in the plugin directory and there is no problem with this.

Never use "Textsub" in the middle of the script else the subtitle will be blured but the following filters and hard to read. It must be the last line before "GripBorders" (or just after if you want the subtitles in the black border and not on the image :idea:)

Dialhot i used your simple script you posted and it :evil: :x WORKED! :evil: :x .......

Here is my code again... whats rong with it...

What i dont get is that i can watch the movie just it flashes the unfilter error in grey upside down, this has never occured to me within my whole KVCD encoding life (Which is about a week)

Lol. Welcome in the wonderful world of computing science :-)

I know we told you the opposite last time but try to add some spaces :
We will find the solution ! :-)

That's normal ! It's the meaning of "Motion Adaptative" ;-); The script adapts itself to the motion in the movie. In static scenes, it does a TemporalSoften. In quickly moving scenes, it does the unfilter (that is all the purpose of this weird "scriptclip" line).
That is why the error message flashes and is not constant : your movie has more static scenes than moving one, so the unfilter is rarely done.

Hey Phil,

could you post your MA script that CheronAph asked for? I'd also be interested in checking it out.

Also, can you figure out how to use the MA script with interlaced sources? It's easily done with spatial-only filters but with temporal ones it's a bit more tricky.

Ok, thanks!

You mean the MA script that I use personnaly ? I'll try to think about it this evening.

I only have one source interlaced, so I'm not really the guy you need. I always do my test on it using fileddeinterlace, that's all.
