Hmm...I don't even seem to have that folder in my C:\...plus where can I download the .dll's...?

Shouldn't AVISynth Automatically install the .dll's...? downloaded the AviSynth 2.0 Version. :?

Hi DivXerouS,

Download "MovieStacker". All DLL's are included in the package :wink:

sorry for the late reply, I've been kinda busy...well anyway, I downloaded MovieStacker as you suggested and looks like a pretty cool program. I also saw your templates which were included with the program, very cool. BUT now here's the problem (yet again) I loaded your KVCDx3 template and saved the script file. Now when I load it up in TMPGEnc, it seems to not respond... Is their a manual for using the program correctly, cuz this is also a new program for me... :?

Since TMPGEnc freezes up when I try to load the .AVS script file, I've decided to resize using VirtualDubMod (first time resizing BTW), well everything goes well, until it gives the following error

Quote:

AviSynth Open Failure
Unrecogonized Exception
(Path name of my file.avs, Line 17)

now I'm not sure as to what is wrong, but I guess it's not loading right... I used the KVCDx3 580x480 presesttings from MovieStacker. Here's the script :-

if's it's not the script it's probably the program...I'm going to have to find another way to resize now... problem after problem... :cry:

Get rid of this path: C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\-= (.) =-\Video\
and put your stuff in a place like C:\Movies\Temp\ or something like that.

Done* but why should I do that though ?

DivXerouS

02-23-2003 05:55 PM

now when I try to load up the .AVS file into either VirtualDubMod or TMPGEnc, it seems to just crash, with the red warning and I have to hit the close button...? :cry:

What is the red warning :?:

Program has performed an illegal operation

both of them give the same error...?

Try a script just like this:

AviSource("C:\YourPath\YourMovie.avi")

That is, remove everything below the AviSource line, and see if it opens in TMPEG. If it does, then it's a problem or interaction with your avi and one of the filters.

I'm a complete ass, the previous script I created had the pathname of the file where it was previously located, so thus both the programs were crashing, BUT I created a new script and it seems to have the same line 17 error, tried moving the file to a different path, still the same problem, now I will try your script and get back to you... :roll:

DivXerouS

02-23-2003 08:59 PM

I removed everything below the AVI Source line and what you know...it works...so I guess their is something wrong with the AVI, so I scanned it for errors using VirtualDubMod and no errors, now when I load it in TMPGEnc, instead of loading it right away, it seems to be

Judging field order

what does that mean...? I've never had it done that before, on top of that it takes a while for it to Judge field order and actually load it up.

Well anyway just to check IF something is wrong with the filters I'm gonna try each of them 1 by 1 to see up will where it will load up... :(

and take everything out after Temporal cleaner which it says I need something for it to work...it loads up fine in VirtualDub...so I guessyour gonna have to tell me some Manual way to do all that...

BTW, I have a 450MHZ K-6 Processor, Windows 98 Second Edition, No Graphics Card, it's a dinosaur but it runs pretty well.

So what should I do now...? do you think I should just continue with the resizing and we could move on to the next step from their*? :?

:?: no graphics card? <- you lost me there :roll:

Ren, I'd assume DivXerouS meant that he's using on-board graphics rather than a separate pci or agp card :?:

I'm certainly no pro :oops: , but isn't it generally recommended to have at least a P3 1GHz or equivalent to run the programs necessary for "KVCD-ing"? How much memory do you have DivXerous? I've seen a few programs lock-up or run poorly on a friend's PC that has similar specs to yours with only 128MB memory. Perhaps that pet dinosaur of yours is just a wee bit too....well...prehistoric, for the task at hand? :cry: :wink: Hope you figure something out. Good luck.

DivXerouS,

Do you get an error when encoding a DVD source?

Maybe the cpu settings in TMPGenc are causing the problem :?: Try unchecking SSE and MMX.

This project is scrapped, PC is just too old to handle such complicated projects you are right, 56.0 MB Ram...I'm really sorry I had a very nasty hardrive problem, and the technician told me that the PC cannot handle video encoding/ processing too well, hardrive got burned twice, very nasty...but the thing is that I can still encode using basic TMPGEnc templates that come with the program...hopefully when I get an upgrade I will be able to make a KVCD... :(
