KVCD: Error in my script - Unrecognized exception?
 

I get this error when I'm trying to encode a .d2v (my first attempt at this)

"Unrecognized exception! C:\CATCH_ME_IF_YOU_CAN\VIDEO_TS\StMedianFilter.avs , line 7)"

here's my script:


LoadPlugin("D:\VCD\Movie Stacker\Filters\Mpeg2Dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\VCD\Movie Stacker\Filters\GripFit_preview.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\VCD\Movie Stacker\Filters\Unfilter.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\VCD\Movie Stacker\Filters\LegalClip.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\VCD\Movie Stacker\Filters\Sampler.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\VCD\Movie Stacker\Filters\STMedianFilter.dll")
mpeg2Source("C:\CATCH_ME_IF_YOU_CAN\VIDEO_TS\prf.c atch.me.if.you.can.d2v")
ConverttoYUY2
LegalClip()
GripCrop(704, 480, overscan=2, source_anamorphic=false)
GripSize(resizer="LanczosResize")
STMedianFilter(10, 50, 0, 0, 10, 50)
unfilter(50,50)
temporalsmoother(1,2)
mergechroma(blur(1.58))
mergeluma(blur(0.2))
GripBorders()
LegalClip()

#Sampler(length=24)

from readme:

KNOWN ISSUES AND LIMITATIONS

1) Assumes YUV (YUY2) Frame Based input. Use an AVIsynth function to convert first if
needed.

2) Sorry, currently requires a P-III, Athlon, or higher. Needs SSEMMX support.

3) So far it has only been tested on SSEMMX (P3 & P4) machines.

4) It does more work filtering Luma than chroma. While chroma is also filtered the spacial chroma filter filters only vertically, and the temporal chroma filtering is motion compensated only vertically.
end

:!:
well the first "limitation" (YUY2),you do it right!
:wink:

"limitations" 2 and 3:
what is your cpu?
:?

:wink:

my cpu is a p4

p4 friend!?!?! 8O

then i'm lost too cos,
your script is right ...can't see any error!
:?

maybe i'm messing up when ripping my dvd or making my d2v files?

my d2v file ends up being like 500kb...is this normal?

no problems friend, .dv2 have few size!

try change this in the script:

ConvertToYUY2()

:wink:

i'm re doing the rip, so i'll try that when it's finished

after read some in avisynth docs,
i think that you don't need this line,
if your source is dvd..

than remove the line

ConvertToYUY2()

and see what happens!
:!:

still no luck :(

where are the

mergechroma.dll
and
mergeluma.dll
in
D:\VCD\Movie Stacker\Filters\..... :?:
on the script?

:?:

They are part of avisynth Jorel (MergeChroma & Luma) :)

:?

strange cos i install the last avisynth 208 and
in the "plugins" folder or another place of my hd i
can't find the merge luma/chroma dlls.

then i download the filters from the link and now is working!

means that when you install the avisynth
the filters are instaled too? :?

if yes,why i can't found them before download from the link?
:? :?

thanks ovg64
:wink:

Yes, Jorel and other filter like Sharpen, SpatialSoften, TemporalSoften etc. are also with in Avisynth. :)

yeah?
8O

then i don't understand cos
when i install the last avisynt(208)
no filters or dlls are instaled with!
:? :? :? :?

what's wrong?
:?

Im no sure they are in a dll fomat, but make a script with MovieStacker and u will see no patch two the Chroma filters.

thanks for explanations friend!
:wink:

but i'm really
:? :!:

if i remove my "dlls" folder i can't open the script in mpgenc
after use MovieStacker...
:?

Re: error in my script...help!
 

Open your .d2v file in notepad and post the first 15 or so lines and let's see what you got.

@ irshliquor
It's simple : This Avisynth error means that version u are working with dosn't support this filter :D
Check what Avisynth version u are working with and upgrade it to v2.08 or v2.5* but first delete all Avisynth.dll files from windows\system32 folder .
Hope this'll help
bman

right bman,
this is what i try to mean. :wink:

but why avisynth don't install the
dlls/filters in my system like
ovg64 posted?
:?:

Maybe somthing wrong with installer ?!
If so - Do it yourself - U can manage it ya :D
bman

thanks bman,
you know,i'm not too inteligent like you all,
i only "speak too much",or better:
ask too much!
:lol:

i'm using avisynth 2.08 and the line that it says is my problem (line 7) is the line for mpeg2source...but i can't see any problems with it...

they're in d:\vcd\movie stacker\filters\

here's the first lines from my .d2v file:

right, but where in the script? :?
your script:
LoadPlugin("D:\VCD\Movie Stacker\Filters\Mpeg2Dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\VCD\Movie Stacker\Filters\GripFit_preview.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\VCD\Movie Stacker\Filters\Unfilter.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\VCD\Movie Stacker\Filters\LegalClip.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\VCD\Movie Stacker\Filters\Sampler.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\VCD\Movie Stacker\Filters\STMedianFilter.dll")
mpeg2Source("C:\CATCH_ME_IF_YOU_CAN\VIDEO_TS\prf.c atch.me.if.you.can.d2v")

try put this in the script:
LoadPlugin("D:\VCD\Movie Stacker\Filters\MergeChroma.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\VCD\Movie Stacker\Filters\MergeLuma.dll")
:wink:
try it!
ovg64 and bman posted that avisynth208 install this dlls but
no one dll was intaled in my system,
only avisynth.dll in system folder,nothing more!
i download and unzip the files,then work!

ps:
the first lines from your .d2v file seems ok!
:!:

nope, didn't work...same thing. i'm starting to get frusturated. I might uninstall all my stuff and reinstall it all

Irishliquor, right unistall and reinstall avisynth but before you do that if you have a software like Norton Utilities Win Doctor , you can safelly fix your register from programs you had in the past and had problems with this way Windows becomes faster and more stable. :D

i just formatted and reloaded my system...i don't think there's registry errors, but i could be wrong. I've already tried to uninstall and reinstall avisynth, i'm redoing all the software i use to make KVCDs

The easiest thing to do is to start commenting out filters and resize lines until you only leave the mpeg2Source line.

Then open TMPGEnc 's Environmental settings tab (Options -->Environmental Setting --> VFAPI Plug-in) and make sure that ReadAVS and DVD2AVI Project File Reader are listed.

One other thing:

I don't know if TMPGEnc or Avisynth likes the naming convention with all the . (periods). Try a regular name.

Racer99

ok, how do i get more plugins? i don't have either of those listed; ReadAVS or DVD2AVI Project File Reader. i changed the filename to catch.d2v and had the same problem...but let me know how to add those features to TMPGEnc

Check out this thread. I think it's the 2nd post down for READAVS.

http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3320

I would worry about this one first. I don't remember how the DVD2Avi Project File Reader was installed. But TMPGEnc will not work without ReadAVS installed.

Download Link:

tmpgenc never had a problem before, maybe i need the DVD2AVI one though...because i installed it and it didn't work with the d2v file...

Check here. I don't know if it truly contains what you need, but it's what TMPGEnc has.

http://www.tmpgenc.net/e_vfapi.html

ok, the DVD2AVI Project file reader worked...next question:

Does it normally take longer to encode from a d2v project than an avi source?

Yes :wink:

Kwag:

Alot longer?

holy bejesus, it's taken 7 minutes to encode 17 seconds of video...is this normal? or maybe my script is screwy, or a setting in ToK or TEMPGenc?

A .d2v encode has to go through vfapi. An AVI encode, goes directly through the AVI CODEC. That's why the .d2v project is slower.
