I'm trying to add BlockBuster to my AviSynth Script with an XviD AVI source file, and it's not working. I am using the version of BlockBuster made for v2.5 of AviSynth. The first error I got was it telling me that BlockBuster was NOT a v2.5 plugin even when I am using the 2.5 version. So, I tried the older version of BlockBuster by using "LoadPluginEx2.dll" and then that gave me an error saying that BlockBuster required YUY2 or YV12 Input. Well, isn't an XviD YV12 anyways? I even tried adding a ConvertToYUY2() and / or ConvertToYV12() line above the BlockBuster line in the script and it just continued to give me the same error. What is wrong? If there's another filter that can do the SAME thing as BlockBuster let me know. I'm trying to add film grain or "mosquito noise" as some call it to help reduce macroblocks from the re-encode.

Here's the script I'm trying to use:
LoadPlugin("C:\Video Apps\AviSynth v2.5.4\Plugins\MPEG2DEC3.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Video Apps\AviSynth v2.5.4\Plugins\BlockBuster.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Video Apps\AviSynth v2.5.4\Plugins\VSFilter")
LoadPlugin("C:\Video Apps\AviSynth v2.5.4\Plugins\UnDot.dll")

AVISource("C:\Windows\Desktop\Face\Movie.avi",audio=false")

VobSub("C:\Windows\Desktop\Face\Subs.sub")
BlindPP(cpu=4)
Blockbuster(method="noise",block_size=8,detail_min=1,detail_max=50,variance=0.3,seed=1)
LanczosResize(720,464)
AddBorders(0,8,0,8)
UnDot()

have you the filter blockbuster.dll in the directory: C:\Video Apps\AviSynth v2.5.4\Plugins?

the filter blockbuster is external, and you must load it from:
http://www.avisynth.org/warentreprises

Yes, I know the filter is external, and it is in my Plugins directory. I cannot figure out why both versions will not work.

Maybe VobSub is interfering? I would put it last anyway, just to give the filters a better idea of the original picture. ;)

Hmmm. I'll try a script tomorrow with just BlockBuster and nothing else to see if that is what was causing the problem.
