Media Player Classic Home Cinema won't open avs files, Win 7 64 bit

[Adub]

Sorry for the length title, but that's just it.

Even a simple:
"version()"

Fails to open in the latest MPCHC, version : 1.3.1757.0 64-bit.

All it tells me is that it "Cannot render file".

Anyone got any ideas?

P.S. Using Win 7, 64-bit with JoshyD's 64bit Avisynth.

[Adub]

Okay, never mind. I have installed Win7 32-bit and everything works fine.

I didn't really want to open a new thread for my small question but I can't find an option for disabling free resizing in MPC-HC. I want it to force the resizing to the video A/R without extra effort.

[Cyberpro60]

Unfortunately I don't have the option of reinstalling Windows 7 32 bit and I kinda would like to get MPC Home Cinema playing .avs files on Win7 64bit but so far no success.

Currently, MPC/HC doesn't even have the option of opening .avs files via the file/open routine (it doesn't recognise that file type). Opening an .avs file with "open with" produces the results "Cannot render file".

Somebody has to have some ideas on fixing this problem surely?

BTW: I have 64bit Avisynth installed and 64 bit ffdshow as well.

Why don't you just use the 32 bit MPC-HC version? There are no benefits at all in using the 64 bit version.

[Keiyakusha]

Its even not about benefits, 64bit MPC-HC actually works worse and slower than 32bit. I really doubt 64bit avisynth brings anything usefull too, except inability to use some nice filters and stuff. Some parts of the ffdshow happens to be broken in 64 bit too.
Combine these three 64bit thingy and yauu - nothing works as it should. So expected.

I have Win7 x64, Avisynth x86 & MPC-HC x86 and the same happens to me, MPC doesn't read my avs scripts. No errors, it just get stucked with "Opening..." Is not freeze, but is does nothing. What can I do?

Thx.

EDIT:

Can't open d2v either. This time I can read: Impossible to open file (or something like that).

[boyumeow]

@dansrfe,
Is the one under [Options==>Playback==>Output] that U needs? Thanks.

[eXtremeDevil]

Nop. I want mpc to read d2v and avs files. As far as I know this is possible but my mpc doesn't read them.

[eXtremeDevil]

So just to be clear, on Win7 x64 MPC can't play neither avs's nor d2v's? Is that correct? It seems weird because I think MPC is better than BSPlayer but I can actually play avs's on BSP...

[Rumbah]

x64 MPC cannot open avs with 32bit Avisynth installed.

Just install x86 (32bit) MPC and it can open avs files just fine. 64 bit programs cannot load 32bit dlls. I guess that BSPlayer is a 32bit program ot begin with so it can open avs files without a problem.

[eXtremeDevil]

No no no. "Win7 x64" *and* MPC, BPS, Avisynth... all of them x86. That's what I have.

[eXtremeDevil]

So????

You don't have to make a new thread for this, you can ask these questions in the official thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=166689).

For AVS you need the AviSynth plugin included in ffdshow.
For D2V there's an internal filter, but I believe it is broken, currently we're considering removing it. Does anyone still use DVD2AVI? Aren't there better alternatives than this very old program?

[eXtremeDevil]

I did not make this thread.

I do have ffdshow with that filter activated, I can use it on BSPlayer, but for some reason MPC can't, or that's how it looks.

And with d2v I mean an indexed MPEG, as I could have said a dga o dgi...

The D2V filter expects an ancient version of the D2V format. That's why it doesn't work for you. Is there really a need to open a D2V file directly anyway?

[eXtremeDevil]

No, that's why I want to be able to open avs!!!

Haali Splitter can parse AVS scripts if you apply this reg tweak:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Media Type\Extensions\.avs]
"Source Filter"="{55DA30FC-F16B-49FC-BAA5-AE59FC65F82D}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\Media Type\Extensions\.avs]
"Source Filter"="{55DA30FC-F16B-49FC-BAA5-AE59FC65F82D}"

[eXtremeDevil]

Doesn't work. Why can't my MPC play avs?

[Guest]

Don't feel bad, mine also won't play AVS. :(

[Groucho2004]

That's why I use the good old Media Player Classic (without HC). I plays AVS just fine and, most importantly, doesn't choke on relative paths in the script.

[eXtremeDevil]

I use BSPlayer for avs's. But I want to know why MPC-HC is failing, because as far as I know it should play them.

[clsid]

Add all the paths that contain your AviSynth plugins to the system %PATH% variable. Or use absolute paths in your script.

[eXtremeDevil]

That was it!! At least!! After all this time!! Thanks!!
