No, what would be the difference. Doesn't this work on both templates?

Some players don't like 352x480(576), but they play 704x480(576) perfectly.

Sorry Kwag if I lead you in the wrong direction. I'm viewing these on my computer. Anyway, I tried the KVCDx2 template and the exact same thing happened.

Kwag,
I decided to try an AVS on something besides A Clear and Present Danger. I tried it on MASH, and it worked beautifully. Anybody else who had this problem, were the movies encoded with Divx 5? Just trying to find out what causes this...

@Bigswaffo

Running the avs script on a DVD VOB rip on Shrek didn't work for me at all. The picture quality is bad. Same for Harry Potter. Any ideas yet? I'll keep trying with the avs script because sometimes i can get the aspect ratio to look right and sometimes not.

Hi spyglass:

Make sure you're using the latest version of AviSynth. Also check your MPEG2DEC.dll version. That's very important.

@Spyglass
I'm sorry to say I don't see any patterns.

I did it with a divx5 (which I thought might be the problem) download. But, I tried it with MASH (which is encoded with divx3) and it worked fine, except I get the illegal floating decimal point error thing.

@Kwag
Thanks for helping me with logging in. It works just fine now.

@Kwag

I think I'm using the latest version of the mpeg2dec.dll (August 16, 2001) file. I think the AVISYNTH v1.0beta6 is the latest.

Could you make a new topic on the main forums page about Software? and perhaps post the versions of the different software you are using?

Spyglass.

If it helps, you can try grabbing DVD2SVCD. It includes 'good' versions of all the necessary software (minus TMPGEnc) that one typically needs (including mpeg2dec.dll, avisynth, bbmpeg, etc.). It can also be used to basically automate the whole conversion process (don't let the name fool you, it works for vcd as well, and even avi conversions).

Hi Kwag,

I saw you mention ensuring versions of AVISynth and MPEG2DEC.DLL.

I have my MPEG2DEC.Dll from the DVD2SVCD rippack and I've pointed FITCD at it, but when I open an .d2v file I get an incomprehensible German error message.

Am I using the right DLL ?

Hi MoovyGuy:

My MPEG2DEC dll's size is 188,416 bytes and the date stamp is 03/24/2002.
Hope this helps.

I remuxed it in TMPGenc as SVCD. Perhaps that was the problem? Is there a difference in how bbmpeg and tmpgenc remux as SVCD?

Daagar,

Some players have a problem playing variable bit rates as VCD's but are able to handle it if it thinks that it is an SVCD. My player (Sylvania DV2000) is one such.

Spyglass

Hi spyglass !

Of course there is a difference in how bbmpeg and tmpgenc remux as SVCD a huge difference !!!
And it's noticable , is it ???
ONE WORKS PERFECTLY and another .....
Remux with TMPGenc is not presice as with bbMPEG and reason is small bug in buffer size that TMPGenc produses . They write SVCD headers in differnt ways too , so file remuxed with TMPG isn't recognised with bbMPEG and vice versa .
There is lot of info on web about this .

OK I'll check it tonight and let you know.

By the way, where did your copy of the MPEG2DEC dll come from? I ask because maybe the version I am using is from the wrong source

.....

Thanks

Frankly, I don't remember now

But download the one here: http://www.divx-digest.com/software/avisynth.html
I just tried it, and it works.

MoovyGuy · #34 06-19-2002, 12:44 PM

Hey Kwag,

Great, I just DL'd them. I'll make sure these are the ones I use when I get home tonight.

Thanks again..

MoovyGuy · #35 06-19-2002, 09:31 PM

Kwag;

I must be an idiot.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I cannot load a .d2v file into fitCD. I still get that funky german error message ....

Just for the hell of it, have you tried another version of DVD2AVI?

Duhhhh

, nope didn't think of that. I have a couple of different versions that I can try. I'll let ya know ...

What version do you use ?

Timberwolf · #38 06-20-2002, 12:02 PM

Have you tried the latest? Version 1.77 I think?

MoovyGuy · #39 06-20-2002, 12:52 PM

I don't think I have.

I've been using an offshoot as it had solved an unrelated problem that I had been having.

I do have that version, but have not actually installed it.

I'll give it a shot ......

Thanks -- I'll let ya'll know how I make out...

MoovyGuy · #40 06-20-2002, 09:18 PM

Boy, you know ... I'm feeling just a little slow ...

I've loaded up v1.77.3 of DVD2AVI and now FitCD is very happy

.
Thanks to Kwag & Timberwolf.

Buuuuuuuuuut, now TMPGenc says that it dunno what to do with an .AVS file for source input.

There was another thread here that I believe explained how to fix that but I cant find it.

.

So like I said, I must be a little sloooooooww. How do I fix this please.

Thanks
