WinXP SP2 and Avisynth

[[MA]Debito]

I have the windows xp pro with sp2 integrated and I am just having the hardest time opening anything in virtualdubmod and Avisynth. My VDubMod is 1.5.10.1 2439 and Avisynth is 2.5.5 Alpha. I was able to use Avisynth without problems with SP2...but all of the sudden avisynth doesn't work at all...any suggestions?

What kind of message do you get if you open the Version() script in VDub?

AviSynth 2.55, build:Jun 17 2004 [17:51:49]
(c)2000-2004 Ben Rudiak-Gould, et al.
http://www.avisynth.org

Edit: Also, everytime i close something that has avisynth running, it crashes and wants to send an error report to Microsoft.

Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling Avisynth ?

What kind of error message are you getting, etc.

i've uninstalled it, reinstalled it a few times...it doesn't change
a damn thing....

Edit: Also, it plays a preview in wmp 6.4 (crashes on exit though) but when i try to load it in VdubMod it says:
"Avisynth open failure: Avisynth: script open failed!"

Just empty your plugin dir. One of the plugins is causing this.

[[MA]Debito]

i did...it worked for a bit..then it stopped working and i didn't change any of the autoloading plugins

[stickboy]

[MA]Debito, is your plug-in directory completely empty?

I just tried a clean install of AviSynth on a box running XP Pro SP2, and I can load Version.avs fine.

yeah, i cleared it out, got it fixed. then the next day (nothing changed) it says The script's return value was not a video clip

it's really pissing me off

I didnt' change my script either...but here it is:

mpeg2source("C:\Documents and Settings\Debito\Desktop\cowboy\cowboy.d2v",idct=7, ipp=true, cpu=5)
telecide(order=1,guide=0,chroma=true,vthresh=150,gthresh=50,blend=true)
decimate(cycle=5)
Mergechroma(coloryuv(levels="TV->PC"))
Mergechroma(coloryuv(levels="TV->PC"))
Undot()
atc(l=0, c=3, b=12, t=0.6)
aWarpSharp(16.0, 2, .5, 1)
Dup(threshold=2.0, copy=true, blend=true, maxcopies=20, debug=false)
bicubicresize(576,432,0.333,0.333,8,4,706,468)

There's something with your Mergechroma, it expects two clips (and not one).

I guess your script should be

mpeg2source("C:\Documents and Settings\Debito\Desktop\cowboy\cowboy.d2v",idct=7, ipp=true, cpu=5)
telecide(order=1,guide=0,chroma=true,vthresh=150,gthresh=50,blend=true)
decimate(cycle=5)
Mergechroma(last.coloryuv(levels="TV->PC"))
Undot()
atc(l=0, c=3, b=12, t=0.6)
aWarpSharp(16.0, 2, .5, 1)
Dup(threshold=2.0, copy=true, blend=true, maxcopies=20, debug=false)
bicubicresize(576,432,0.333,0.333,8,4,706,468)

or fully

c = mpeg2source("C:\Documents and Settings\Debito\Desktop\cowboy\cowboy.d2v",idct=7, ipp=true, cpu=5)
c = c.telecide(order=1,guide=0,chroma=true,vthresh=150,gthresh=50,blend=true)
c = c.decimate(cycle=5)
Mergechroma(c, c.coloryuv(levels="TV->PC"))
Undot()
atc(l=0, c=3, b=12, t=0.6)
aWarpSharp(16.0, 2, .5, 1)
Dup(threshold=2.0, copy=true, blend=true, maxcopies=20, debug=false)
bicubicresize(576,432,0.333,0.333,8,4,706,468)

that still wouldnt get it to work if that were the problem, and btw, i think it should be the first mergechroma().mergerchroma()

please help!

[malkion]

I've ran the original scripts, it works for me. :rolleyes:

If MS has enabled their "buffer-overflow protection", you are likely to run into problems when using the resizer and limiter. They generate assembler at runtime, which might trigger SP2 protection.

You should be able to disable this feature in SP2.

How would i go about doing that?
