Unrecognized Exception using Windows XP

[acyla]

I recently formatted my computer and installed Windows XP Professional onto it. For some reason I can't seem to load AVISynith files in Virtual Dub now since they keep saying Unrecognized Exception and stating line one to be in Error.

The coding for the AVIsynith files are:

MPEG2Source("D:\Movie info\CoS.d2v")
BicubicResize(320,240)

For some reason the files sometimes load in Windows Media Player, always in Notepad and not at all in Premiere or Virtual Dub.

Aside from Windows XP I am using DVD2AVI 1.76, Virtual Dub 1.5.3

Can anyone help me to get this to run in Virtual Dub?

Thanks for reading?

What happens when you Loadplugin("mpeg2dec.dll") at the beginning of your script? Maybe your plugins registry entry got trashed.

It tells me that the mpeg2dec3.dll is not an AviSynth 2.5 plugin.

I tried looking at the forum post titled "Avisynth error & Hybrid movies & A/V synchronization" but I can't seem to add in D2V files to the VFapi convertor since it keeps saying that they are "invalid".

You need a mpeg2dec3.dll for AviSynth 2.5. A link is given in the AviSynth FAQ Q3.5 at www.avisynth.org

I tried doing that and installing it but it kept on coming back at me saying that it wasn't able to load the plugin and if I put in an equal's sign it keeps coming back saying that it wasn't a video clip. The second line still keeps popping up indicating that it doesn't want to load either.

Loadplugin=("C:\AVSFilters\MPREG2Dec3.dll")
MPEG2Source=("D:\Movie_info\CoS.d2v")
BicubicResize=("320,240")

[Wilbert]

Don't put equal signs in your script that way.

Loadplugin("C:\AVSFilters\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
MPEG2Source("D:\Movie_info\CoS.d2v")
BicubicResize(320,240)

is fine.

1) Are you using the following mpeg2dec3.dll:

2) You didn't move the d2V and the vob files?

edit: removed the "" in BicubicResize, stupid typo

[acyla]

Alright, I tried Wilbert's code (and put in the download again) and then it said that something was wrong with the bicubic resize so I yanked that out and it worked just fine.

Thanks to Wilbert and Neuron2

Maybe it will help someone else.

In the past when i've had trouble loading the MPEG2DEC plugin in order to load a .D2V file i have used VFapi convertor then used the following script:
eg for DVD/PAL 16:9

AVISOURCE(movie.avi)
BicubicResize(720,576)
AddBorders(0,0,0,0)
ResampleAudio(41000) <<<<this line for use with CCE
