directshowsource and mpc crashing

[starwarsandrisk]

alrighty....

video1=avisource("c:\witch hunter robin\opening.avi")
video2=directshowsource("c:\witch hunter robin\opening.rmvb", fps="24")
stackvertical(video1, video2)

so there we have my script.... whenever i try to open the file in any media player.... it always crashes.... i'm know its probally just something stupid... but what could i be doing wrong?

Open in VirtualDub(mod) and you might be able to see an error message.

that script crashes everything it gets put in!

The value for argument fps in DirectShowSource should have no quotes, so try fps=24 instead of fps="24". To be exact, you'll want to put fps=23.976:p

Shouldn't it be more like fps=29.97, as WHR's intro is 30FPS? (not that that could cause the crash... :))

np: Lali Puna - Faking The Books (Faking The Books)

I dunno, I only supposed that the files have 23.976fps based on the original post.

Strange... The only things that happends is that it reports The named argument "fps" to directshowsource had the wrong type.

(in both vdubmod and Zoom Player)

i used a field operation on my d2v file to get 23 fps....

but yeah.... mine totally crashes... what version of avisynth are you using?

I've had some problems in the past with non-English (french to be exact)versions of Windows 2000 not liking spaces in certin paths, If I remember correctly I had to put my video file on the c drive itself or in a folder without spaces in its name.

[starwarsandrisk]

a drive with no spaces in its name?..... hmm.... my c:/ drive is not my system drive... could that do it?

[t_2]

I don't know if I logical drive would be a problem, but I kind of doubt it. As a matter of fact I can't remember if it was the actual video file that was giving me problems or some external plug-ins that I loaded with my script. In any event you might try putting everything you are opening in the script, and maybe even the script itself into "c:\witch_hunter_robin" and see what happens. This advice may be all wrong. I kind of do this computer stuff by the seat of my pants, but I am sure that I have had problems with a path that had spaces in it and using another path without spaces cleared it up.
