Hi Was wondering if anyone could help me. New at this KVCD stuff but I think that Ive got the general jist of it, thing is, as you can see from the heading, whenever i try and bring in an avs file into TMPGENC I get an error from the Avsynth2 .dlls.

Speciffically this:

LOAD PLUGIN:unable to load"C:Program Files\Avisynth2\Plugins\Gripfit\Gripfit_Preview.dl l
(Movielocation.avs, line 6)

When I preview the avs in tmpgenc this is what i see in the screen. The avs goes in fine, but i cant get around this.

As far as I can tell Ive got everything configured properly. All the .dlls in the right place, movie name is correct in the avs file and matchs the location of the actual movie file.

Ive reinstalled the gripfit dll, reinstalled tmpgenc, followed the guide on how to setup the avsreader and so on. But nothing.

Please help.

thanks

Hi ponykiller,

Post your script

Hey Kwag

Im using the template for the script in the converting divx to kvcd tutorial I found on the site. Believe its by black prince, I realise that this is not the correct way, or rather, not the ideal way to do this type of conversion. But like i said im new at this and just want to see what the results look like. I will give fitcd a try once I get this to work.
Here's my script:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth2\plugins\MPEG2DEC.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth2\plugins\LegalClip.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth2\plugins\Blockbuster.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth2\plugins\FluxSmooth.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth2\plugins\Sampler.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth2\plugins\Gripfit\GripFit_Preview.dl l")
avisource("C:\Documents and Settings\administrator\Desktop\Robotech01.avi")
LegalClip()
GripCrop(352, 240, overscan=1)
GripSize()
FluxSmooth()
LegalClip()
#Sampler(length=24)

Im probably missing something vital right? Let me know.

Thanks

Try this one.

Make a test.avs script and put in there this line:

version

Only this: a test.avs file with only 1 line. I ever use this to see if avisynth is correct instaled in my system. Just load this test.avs in tmpgenc and you must see the version for avisynth ( must be 2.07 ).

Hi Perfect cell

Did what you said and it is version 2.07. Where do I go from here?

Thanks

Yes you are : You didn't have GripBorders(). Try this:

And set input aspect in TMPEG to "Center".

Hey Kwag

I appreciate your help, but Im still getting the same error. So Ive moved onto fitcd and Ive got TMPGENC to work properly, not sure how to work fitcd exactly but i will get there. Thing is now ive got black borders in tmpgenc, any ideas?

This is the script Ive got from fitcd:

# -= AviSynth script by FitCD v1.1.2 =-
#LoadPlugin("C:\Plugins\MPEG2DEC.dll")
#LoadPlugin("C:\Plugins\Blockbuster.dll")
#LoadPlugin("C:\Plugins\.FluxSmooth.dll")
#LoadPlugin("C:\Plugins\GripFit.dll")
#LoadPlugin("C:\Plugins\LegalClip.dll")
#LoadPlugin("C:\Plugins\Sampler.dll")
AviSource("C:\Documents and Settings\administrator\Desktop\Robotech01.avi")
BilinearResize(320,208,0,0,352,240)
AddBorders(24,16,24,16)
#Trim(0,42680).FadeOut(150)
ConvertToRGB24() # For TMPGEnc or VFAPI

Thanks

Set TMPEG's input aspect to "Full screen".
Mind you, if the movie you are processing is a "wide screen" movie, you will get black borders

Hey Kwag

Thanks I will change that setting in tmpeg, I did go ahead and reincode the dvix footage with the black borders, just to see what the result would be and i was very impressed. Very small file with a minimum of loss in quality. But then another problem sprung up.

I encode the video in tmpeg but when its done, i try and scan through the footage, just to make sure its all there, and i can scan in the first few minutes but as soon as i get further than say 2 minutes the footage freezes, i can skip further or back, but then the image changes but is locked.

Thinking that maybe if i mux the new footage together with the new audio file it might sort it out, i do, but nothing changes. Except now it seems like the audio is trying to catch up, because after waiting a while it seems to and the footage carries on playing.

So I took it into nero and burnt a vcd on a rewritable, but the vcd only plays the first 10 seconds of the video. I changed the settings to non compliant vcd, so I dont know.

Any ideas?

Thanks
