Please help, my d2v file loads no problem, but when i write a script even very basic say line 1 load pluggin.... line2 mpeg2source......

I still get this irritating error Evaluate : unrecognised error. I have checked the path and wording but see no problem

Thanks

Reinstall avisynth and check you have the correct version.
Reinstall also the readAVS plugin.

I have tried everything, I have tried uninstalling avisynth and reinstalling, and read avs, and updated my codecs, I dont know what elese to try, I have tried different versions of tmpg, I just dont know

Do a script with only that :
Open it in media player. What do you read ?
Open it now in tmpgenc, what happens ?

Note: verify also in VFAPI tab of tmpgenc settings that ReadAVS has the bigger priority and that you had unchecked Directshow support.

when i open it in wmp it comes up with an error
in tmpg it says avisynth version2.52.....
i have set read avs to a higher priority and unchecked directshow
still cannot read my script even a basic like
load mpegdecoder
mpg2source....d2v
still gives me the same error

You can load a script as you seen "avisynth 2.52" in tmpgenc; So your problem is NOT that ! Your problem is in your script. As simple you think it is you do an error into it.

Do not use mpegdecoder but mpeg2dec3.There is your problem
And you should check what is in the "plugin" directory of avisynth as you have probably something wrong there.

Note: you should update to avs2.54
Note2: there is NO need of loadplugin lines in avs2.5. remove them all and put all filters in "plugin" directory.

i am using mpeg2dec3, i`ll update to latest avisynth do what you suggested and let you know

I strongly suggest you to remove everything in the plugin folder and put there only the dll one need and nothing else. And be sure these dll are for avs2.5

ok i`ll make sure,

no still nothing still the same here is my script see anything wrong
tmpg stops at the first line with the error


Mpeg2Source("d:\Movie\independanceday\test1.d2v")

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

Did you try to redo the d2v with DVD2AVI 1.76 (and nothing else) ?

i`m using dvd2avi version 1.77 is that a problem?

wow thank you very very very much, can you believe it, now that i think about it i had this same problem about a year ago with the wrong version of dvd2avi. I had to format my machine due to a virus and when i restarted i upgraded to all the latest versions.

I think the link to the new dvd2avi at downloads should be changed.

Anyway thanks allot now i can start playing again

Phil,
now that you help zaanvander to find the solution i can post:
when i was "testing" 177 was really problematic and dvd2avi176 never give me any problem.....i'm still with 176!

Dito.
