AviSynth Script Error?
 

I'm trying to get this script to load up in ToK:

LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\MOVIESTACKER\GripFit_previe w.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\MOVIESTACKER\DustV5.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\MOVIESTACKER\LegalClip.dll" )
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\MOVIESTACKER\BlockBuster.dl l")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\MOVIESTACKER\fluxsmooth.dll ")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\MOVIESTACKER\sampler.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\MOVIESTACKER\vobsub.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\MOVIESTACKER\decombLegacy.d ll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\MOVIESTACKER\convolution3d. dll")

mpeg2source("C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\BT with Menu\Blue Thunder.d2v")
Telecide()
Decimate()
LegalClip()
GripCrop( width=352, height=240, overscan=0 )
GripSize()
FaeryDust()
Convolution3D(preset="movieLQ")
Blockbuster(method="noise", variance=.5, seed=1)
GripBorders()
LegalClip()

However, ToK keeps telling me "Script error: there is no function named "mpeg2source."

I've used this scipt in ToK with no problems:

LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\MOVIESTACKER\MPEG2Dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\MOVIESTACKER\TemporalCleane rOld.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\MOVIESTACKER\GripFit_previe w.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\MOVIESTACKER\DustV5.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\MOVIESTACKER\LegalClip.dll" )
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\MOVIESTACKER\BlockBuster.dl l")

mpeg2source("C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\BT with Menu\Blue Thunder.d2v")
LegalClip()
BilinearResize(320, 158, 0, 3, 720, 474)
AddBorders(16, 41, 16, 41)
BlockBuster(method="sharpen", detail_min=1, detail_max=100, strength=25)
SpaceDust()
TemporalCleaner(ythresh=2, cthresh=3)
LegalClip()

I can't figure out what in the "mpeg2source" line could be causing that type of error. Any ideas from some of you much more experienced folks?

I'm using AviSynth 2.08 and Tok 1.76. Thanks in advance -- this VCD stuff is fun! :D

hi Frunobulax :)

the reason that your second script works is this line:

LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\MOVIESTACKER\MPEG2Dec.dll")

copy this to your first script and try...will work too!

:wink:

Thanks for the speedy reply.

Actually, I tried that before I read your post, but upon trying to load the script into ToK, I get the message: "I can't understand the frame rate of your video." :cry:

Oh, the humanity!

As a followup, for anyone who might be remotely interested:

The script problem appeared to be with telecine and decimate. Apparently, from what my research was able to glean, these aren't needed if the working d2v file is already at 23.976 fps.

If I'm wrong, I'll stand corrected, but remarking these two elements out seemed to fix the problem, and the resulting output was a definite improvement over what I had before.

You are right Frunobulax.
Telecide/Decimate are for Inverse Telecine.
If your D2V is 23.976 fps then it's not telecined and don't need IVTC. :wink:
