avs script help needed?

[kdiddy]

Ive ran into an issue with my avs script..below:

LoadPlugin("F:\DVDStuff\MPEG2DEC.dll")
mpeg2source("F:\Movie\low.d2v")
Crop(0,56,720,364)
BicubicResize(352,176,0,0)
Blur(-.3)
AddBorders(0,32,0,32)
ResampleAudio(44100)

OR

LoadPlugin("F:\DVDStuff\MPEG2DEC.dll")
mpeg2source("F:\Movie\low.d2v")
Crop(0,56,720,364)
BicubicResize(352,176,0,0)
Sharpen(0.3)
AddBorders(0,32,0,32)
ResampleAudio(44100)

What will happen..is that CCE will make vaf file,..starts to encode the video file..then after about couple mins..the speed will get ridiculously, fast..like 8.5+, I check the video..and it gives me nothing.....However, if I open the avs file in media player, it plays just fine....????

Taking the Blur/Sharpen command out, and it also works find...CCE 2.5 doesnt seem to like the Blur/Sharpen command for some reason..any ideas??...Im using the latest version of Avisynth (beta 5) & mpeg2dec.dll....Ive tried avisynth version beta 3...but same result

TIA

I've had the same problem,and I could not find a solution.Sometimes changing the order, putting sharpen before cropping,it works.I hope that can help you

What's bicubic resize with arguments (0,0) anyway? Isn't there supposed to be something like (0.333,0.333) or (0,0.75) or (0,0.5) or something like that? If it's not resizing right then maybe that explains the speed-up and the resulting crewed-up output file.

nope moving the commands around didnt help...it seems to be more of CCE error than avisynth...if when doing multipass, CCE makes a call to the avs script however many of times the multiple is....it encodes fine until CCE gets to the second pass...and that is when I get my access violation error..no matter the OS, 98, 2000, or XP

I tried sharpness a few ways/times awhile back and it always crashed. I figured it was just broke. And this was with Vdub.

I've seen this behaviour before. In my case, it was because a .vaf file with the same name already existed in the output-directory (from a previous try). Deleting that file (or choosing another output-filename) returned things to normal.

[kdiddy]

Nope not so in my case..same deal..o well, it works on 1 pass...just not on multipass.

Did you try the checksum patch? Helps CCE 2.50 when doing the second pass.

cheers

I have the patch installed, its not the checksum error, different one all together, but ihave yet since moved on to a different route that is better so needing sharpen is not really an issue much anymore.
