DVD2AVI Problem?

[lineman]

I am having a problem with some mpeg files from a DVB card, the problem is that when I open them in dvd2avi the look like they should but when I make the .d2v and add it to a avs script the resulting video is completely green. If i make a vfapi avi,the resulting video is normal(not all green). I am not sure what is causing this as I have had it work with out using vfapi but I am no longer able too. Any help is appreciated

The only time I've seen something like this was using the save-oe versions that specified a P4 IDCT. Then when I tried to frame serve using an older mpeg2dec.dll it could not handle it.

If so you can use a new mpeg2dec2.dll or make sure IDCT= something other than 5 in your .d2v file.

Just a wild guess, maybe not even close.

I think that comes from a wrong dvd2avi version with incompatible d2v structure.

Use Jackeis last dvd2avi 1.76 with its dv2avi.vfp and the problems should be gone ...

All mpeg2dec(2).dlls are based on that d2v-structure. Especially 1.74, a 1.76 first and the new 1.77.1 and 1.77.3 don't work in mpeg2dec mode.

I have tried both suggestions and I still get the same results. I have taken some screen caps of my problem.

Samples 1&4 are what I see in Virtual Dub and TMPEnc when I open the .avs file.

SetMemoryMax(64)
LoadPlugin("D:\Decomb\decomb.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\Decomb\MPEG2DEC.dll")
Video = Mpeg2source("g:\sample.d2v")
Audio = WAVSource("g:\final-sample 48KHz DELAY -66ms compensated.wav")
AudioDub(Video,Audio)
DelayAudio(-0.066)
Telecide()
Decimate(mode=0)

Samples 2&3 are what I see in Virtual Dub and TMPEnc when I open the .avs file.

LoadPlugin("D:\Decomb\MPEG2DEC.dll")
Video = Avisource("g:\sample_d2v-vfapi.avi")
Audio = WAVSource("g:\final-sample 48KHz DELAY -66ms compensated.wav")
AudioDub(Video,Audio)
DelayAudio(-0.066)
Telecide()
Decimate(mode=0)

I can open the.d2v in TMPGEnc without avs script and the color is fine also. Any ideas!

Can you post the very first lines of your D2v file (If I remember well 12 or 15 lines are enought).

vlad59 here are the lines you requested, I hope!

@lineman:

I would suggest you to make sure you are using "stable" versions of the utilities. Right now i'm using:

DVD2AVI 1.86 (1.76 + some features )
AVIsynth 2.05
Decomb 3.91
mpeg2dec Created Thursday, August 16, 2001, 00:58:38

To reencode lots of mpeg2 (ATi AIW Radeon) captures to DivX 5.02 + lame mp3 using VirtualDub 1.4.10, and I haven't had any problem.

Another thought: Have you updated the drivers for your capture card ???

I'm sorry but I really got no idea (the d2v is normal AFAIK).
Have you tried to decode it with Nic's MpegSource.dll ?
