MeGUI and Missing Plugin(s)

[salehin]

I'm trying to encode BBC HD using MeGUI with avisynth 2.5.7. But when I load different .avs, I get errors.

When I load the following avs it works until I go to the avs script creator:
AVCSource("C:\BBC HD\source.dga")

# tried the directshowsource() as well, but same msg:
#DirectShowSource ("C:\C:\BBC HD\source.GRF",fps=25, audio=false)
#ConverttoYV12()


After loading this avs to MeGUI's script creator, i get a msg that says " Unable to render the file. possibly you don't have the correct filters installed ("

FYI:
o My OS is vista Home premium (sadly came with the laptop).
o I've put in DGAVCIndex.exe in the DGINdex folder of MeGUI: MeGUI > Tool > DGIndex
o And put in libavcodec.dll and DGAVCDecode.dll in MeGUI's DGIndex folder (C:\Program Files\megui\tools\dgindex)
o Using FFDSHOW tryouts revision 2079 (Sept 15)

Can anyone please let me know what I'm missing...

Cheers :)

PS: Sorry if this (issue) has already been discussed- so far, on this forum, i couldn't locate anything related.

why you're thinking megui will automatically support DGAVCDecode?
it doesnt so you should create your AVS accordingly... and dont put files where they should not be.
it's 5AM so i will give you a detailed answer tomorrow...
need to sleep...

I had no idea about it! But under xp (home), I managed to encode bbc hd stream to x264. That time, I used .grf and cyberlink/ffdshow and DGAVCDecode was in the megui's tool directory (i put it). Seems there is no correlation :confused:

It would be a great help if you can kndly explain how to sort it out. Cheers

1- place dgavc stuff in a folder (if you like you can make a new folder under tools in megui)
2- index your source with dgavcindex
3- create an avs and ensure it loads the dgavcdecode plugin (use the loadplugin function ... point it to the correct path where dgavcdec is located)
4- append the content of your avs script and check if the avs plays on a directshow media player (MPC for example), if it does
5- proceed encoding

thanks, Is this AVS right?
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\GordianKnot\AviSynthPlugins\DGAVCDecodeNV.dll")
DirectShowSource("D:\temp\dga.avs",fps=23.9760431376968,audio=false)

dga.avs
AVCSource("D:\movie\STREAM\zzz.test.dga")

no.
you need to load the plugin in dga.avs... btw you're complicating your life.
use a single .avs.
