Thank you lollo for the download. I've tried to open the seven script AVS from out of the download file you prepared for me but I got this error message. Thank you for you patience.

Thank you lollo. I've deleted all other plugin folders. My old scripts, everything except for your new download and the Avisynth 2.60 folder. But I'm still getting the same error message.

I'm using virtualdub 1.9.11. I didn't know if I should use a newer version for restore & filter. Thanks.

I've tried the QTGMC getting started script again today and have got this error message. I'm saving the script as an . avs Thanks.

I do not know what to say. The file QTGMC.avsi is in the plugin directory in the zip file I provided :(

After decompression, in your desktop ou should have:
- AviSynth_plugin_dir (it is a directory)
- family holiday 2004 3.avi (it is your video)
- seven script.avs (it is the avs script)

These scripts cannot wrok because you do not load QTGMC plugin inside them

Thank you lollo. I attached the inside of my plugin folder.

"These scripts cannot work because you do not load QTGMC plugin inside them" I'm not sure what that mean's? I must be doing something wrong. Thanks.

Does this mean I'm not putting the QTGMC and other avsi paths into the script? something like my crude script attachment? Thanks.

just as in the reference script, you need to load QTGMC and its dependencies:

Code:

# plugins directory

plugins_dir="C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\AviSynth_plugin_dir\"



        # QTGMC

Import(plugins_dir + "QTGMC.avsi")

        # Zs_RF_Shared

Import(plugins_dir + "Zs_RF_Shared.avsi")

        # Nnedi3

loadPlugin(plugins_dir + "NNEDI3_v0_9_4_60\x86\Release_W7\nnedi3.dll")

        # RgTools

loadPlugin(plugins_dir + "RgTools-v1.2\x86\RgTools.dll")

        # MaskTools2

loadPlugin(plugins_dir + "masktools2_v2.2.30\x86\masktools2.dll")

        # MVTools

loadPlugin(plugins_dir + "mvtools-2.7.45-with-depans20210608\x86\mvtools2.dll")

be sure in all cases that C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\AviSynth_plugin_dir\ is the right path for your plugin directory

Thanks lollo, sorry for testing your patience. I've never done any type of scripting in my life. I'm a bricklayer and we feel lucky when we have a toilet on site, that primitive!
I'm just not understanding what I should be doing. I thought the files would just autoload once I put # plugins directory
plugins_dir="C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\AviSynth_plugin _dir" into the script. I'm sure what I've done below isn't what you mean but I keep trying my best to understand. Thanks.

Code:

# plugins directory

plugins_dir="C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\AviSynth_plugin_dir"



    # QTGMC

Import(plugins_dir= C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\AviSynth_plugin_dir\ + "QTGMC.avsi")

    # Zs_RF_Shared

Import(plugins_dir= C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\AviSynth_plugin_dir\ + "Zs_RF_Shared.avsi")

    # Nnedi3

loadPlugin(plugins_dir= C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\AviSynth_plugin_dir\ + + "NNEDI3_v0_9_4_60\x86\Release_W7\nnedi3.dll")

    # RgTools

loadPlugin(plugins_dir= C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\AviSynth_plugin_dir\ + "RgTools-v1.2\x86\RgTools.dll")

    # MaskTools2

loadPlugin(plugins_dir= C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\AviSynth_plugin_dir\ + "masktools2_v2.2.30\x86\masktools2.dll")

    # MVTools

loadPlugin(plugins_dir= C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\AviSynth_plugin_dir\ + "mvtools-2.7.45-with-depans20210608\x86\mvtools2.dll")

loadPlugin(plugins_dir= C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\AviSynth_plugin_dir\ + "FFT3dFilter-v2.6\x86\fft3dfilter.dll")

    # FFTW

loadPlugin(plugins_dir= C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\AviSynth_plugin_dir\ + "LoadDll\LoadDll.dll")

loadDll(plugins_dir= C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\AviSynth_plugin_dir\ + "fftw-3.3.5-dll32\libfftw3f-3.dll")



    # LSFmod

Import(plugins_dir= C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\AviSynth_plugin_dir\ + "LSFmod.v1.9.avsi")

Sorry if I was not clear. Once more:

1- decompress the zip file I linked containing everything. Then place the files "family holiday 2004 3.avi" and "seven script.avs" and the directory "AviSynth_plugin_dir" in your desktop.

2- be sure that in the file "seven script.avs" the specified path

Code:

# plugins directory

plugins_dir="C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\AviSynth_plugin_dir\"

is correct, otherwise replace it with the correct path

3- load the file "seven script.avs" in VirtualDub and you should see the restored video

Once this is done, we can then change the avs script to load different plugins and different filtering :wink2:

edit
BTW the statement

Code:

# plugins directory

plugins_dir="C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\AviSynth_plugin _dir"



# QTGMC

Import(plugins_dir= C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\AviSynth_plugin_dir\ + "QTGMC.avsi")

should be

Code:

# plugins directory

plugins_dir="C:\Users\giuse\Desktop\AviSynth_plugin_dir\"



        # QTGMC

Import(plugins_dir + "QTGMC.avsi")

and the same for the others, as in the avs script example. I ignore why you changed the commands

Thanks Lollo. Your advice is very clear and I thank you for trying to figure out my issues. I loaded the script and it's still giving the same error message (I've attached the script hoping you may see something I've missed)

RE: seven script.avs I just copied the file path which is "C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\avisynth plugin directory\seven script.avs" does this make a difference?
I just don't know what I'm not doing that I should be doing. Thanks

The only path that matters is the locationof the directory AviSynth_plugin_dir.
It is specified in the script "seven script.avs".
You just need to be sure that C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\AviSynth_plugin _dir\ is correct.

C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\avisynth plugin directory\seven script.avs doen not make any sense

Thanks Lollo. Did you look at the script? everything seems to be correct. What could be causing the error message. I don't know what else I can do? Thanks.

lollo2

07-09-2022 11:27 AM

The script should come from me, from the .zip archive. You just have to check the path I mentioned.

I do not know what do to more, sorry :(

Thanks Lollo. You've been great I will keep trying. Thanks.

Thanks Lollo. In the script there is a line "C:\User\guise\Desktop\Avisynth. I was wondering what the giuse was?

Code:

# plugins directory

#plugins_dir="C:\Users\giuse\Desktop\AviSynth_plugin_dir"

plugins_dir="C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\AviSynth_plugin_dir"

Thanks.

That is my path ;). It is not active in the script, because there is a # before the line.

Yours is, or should be: plugins_dir="C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\AviSynth_plugin _dir\". Be careful that there is a \ at the end.

Thanks Lollo, I will check that now. I've tried again today and I've got a new error message further down the script I'm hoping this is some sort of progress!

Hi Lollo, I've finally got my script up and running. I was missing MS Visual Studio Redistributable Runtimes but now everything is ok. You mentioned save it with "Fast compress" HufYUV but on my virtualdub menu video> Fast recompress it is listed as "recompress" is this the same thing? Thanks.

Yes, I have seen your post at doom9's forum. StainlessS was taking care of you, so you were in good hands :wink2:
It is difficult sometime to understand all MS requirements for old OS. With recent OS is easier.

0- VirtualDub -> Video Color Depth -> Decompression format 4:2:2 YCbCr (YUY2) / Output format to compressor/display 4:2:2 YCbCr (YUY2)
1- VirtualDub -> Video -> Fast recompress
2- VirtualDub -> Video -> Compression -> Huffyuv v2.1.1

edit: instead saving the filtered video, if you want to produce a x264 compressed file for distribution, you can feed directly ffmpeg with the AviSynth script:

Code:

ffmpeg.exe -i <your script>.avs -c:v libx264 -crf 17 -preset slow -aspect 4:3 -c:a aac -b:a 128k <output>.mp4
