Rebuilder Errors

[howki]

Using QEnc, DeCrypter, & Rebuilder .63. When starting Encode, received "AVS File is not outputing (Use ConvertToYV12()at end of script)", also during rebuild, following "Error in Update-Shouldn't Happen - Contact Developer" & "Stop Statement Encountered". This happened with Version 0.61 as well. Have tried encoding, etc. with different settings, & seem to be ending up short of success.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

Did you make sure that that line (ConvertToYV12()) was in your avs scripts that were made by rebuilder in the prepare phase? Also try opening one of your avs script files with WMP and see if it gives you an error. If it does it should tell on which line the error appears in your avs script. Are you using one click mode or 3 click?

The error you are seeing with QuEnc is probably an AVISYNTH error being output (that isn't in YV12). The second error... well.... it's logical that there may be a problem trying to rebuild from an encode that didn't work.

[Daedalus8745]

Hmm, after upgrading to 0.63a I too get this error :
In the first run of QuEnc the filename is omitted (QuEnc shows '.avs' as Filename).
IMHO if you do run the first Segment (likely 'V01000000001001.AVS') manually through QuEnc and afterwards continue encoding, then I bet your Rebuild sequence will too function.

Tx for the ideas. ConvertToYV12() appears in all the AVS files. Same results if using single pass or 2 pass encoding, or 1 click or 3 click. If WMP is Windows Media Player, I get an error in downloading codec, so am unable to open avs file. Haven't had a chance yet to try manual code on 1st segment. Could the particular movie (RCE prot.) have anything to do with anything? Additionally, log file shows nothing unusual.

I am sad to say that I am also getting the "Avsfile is not outputing blah blah" error message on ver.63a during first encode.

I have gotten it on three straight movies. Works fine on ver.62.

I have the first two options checked in the avs options setup as well as adding the MPEG2DECDG path thingy to the AVS file option.

Using DVD-RB .63a Quenc.54 with mem-aligned avcodec on P4.
I tried deleting the Rebuilder .ini and reinstalling AVsynth 2.54 to no avail.

Tried the routine again. Manually ran first AVS file through QEnc. Still got ConvertToYV12() message @ resumption of encoding. The rebuilder did finish, but when trying to burn the following appears:
DVD-Video files reallocation started
"File VTS_02_0.VOB is not referenced and should not be present
DVD-Video Files reallocation failed.
Reallocation failed. Resulting DVD-Video might be unplayable. Do you want to continue?"
If I do continue, sometimes I can play back on the computer, but the simple minded home DVD player won't accept it.

[TheSeeker]

I dont know if you did this already or not but do you have the newest version of avisynth from their homepage? I would look into that and see if that does anything.

[Oldeman]

I "upgraded" from Avsynth 2.54 to 2.55 and still get the same error. Again it works on v.62.:scared:

[howki]

Was using AviS 2.5.5, went to 2.6, and from RB .61 to .63. Never tried .62. I think I've got a pretty active "Murphy" & his ravens occupying my computer. This reference business when trying to burn has me a little confused.

[nwg]

I am using DVD-RV 0.63a for the first time and now getting the same (Use ConvertToYV12()at end of script error with Quenc 0.54.

It has worked fine in the past and whatever I do, I cannot get rid of it.

[jdobbs]

Have you looked at the output of the .AVS files with MS Media player? If not, do so.

If you are referring to me. The m2v's are encoding fine. The error only came up once before the first encode.

Edit.

The rebuild failed straight away and got a error 3 buffer overflow. Haven't had one of those for ages. This is with 0.63a.

I try to rebuild with a previous version.

[Corintio]

Same here. Just updated to .63a and started having this very problem. The Quenc window starts encoding a source file named .avs and an output named .m2v and stops with "Convertoyv12()...". If I click on ok, Quenc goes on to the second .avs in the rebuilder.inf file.

Tried reinstalling avisynth, but didn't fix anything. The avs play fine, though, and rebuilder works flawlessly with CCE.

If you need some experimentation, I'm willing to help.

BTW, I've never came around to say it, but thank you jdobbs for this wonderful program :)

[nwg]

I can't finish the job and rebuild. I get the same error 3 with whatever version of DVD-RB.

I also re-installed avisynth and it didn't change anything.

This sounds like what I posted in the v.63 error msg AVS file not outputing? (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=83369) thread; the work-around I used was to not click OK on the "AVS file not outputing" message. Instead, I started another QuEnc session, set it to all the same parameters as the one with the error dialog (except inserting the missing V02000000001001 for both filenames), let that run, then dismissed the error dialog.

@jdobbs - full details, including good and bad .ecl files, in the referenced thread.

Wow, nice & simple. Sounds like a reasonable solution to what looks as a small glitch in the parsing of the .ecl file. I'm trying it right now, and will let the rest of the encode run through the night, hopefully I'll be able to rebuild the project tomorrow.

[jdobbs]

I'll take a look at the .ECL parsing code. I wonder why it only happens randomly, though... you'd think more people would have experienced it?

[howki]

I've been getting no M2V file on beginning the encode on segment "0". It produces the .FLG, & then the "--not outputing---YV12--" etc. shows up with "creating M2V file" showing. Click okay, & it continues on to segment "1". When it does finish encoding, it causes an 0003 error on beginning rebuild.

I didn't notice that.

So, is the non encoding of segment 0 the reason why the error 3 came up?

[Fishman0919]

I get the same error with QuEnc. I do QuEnc in three click mode, when I get the error on the first one I just click "OK" and let it finish. When it's done encoding all the m2v's files and before the rebuild stage I go back and redo the missed m2v manually (I open the REBUILDER.ECL file in the D2AVS folder and find the bitrate for the missed m2v). After they are done I do the rebuild stage and I get one great looking movie.

[howki]

I don't know, but suspect that a buffer overflow could occur if, for instance, due to faulty encoding, a boundary or some such was not set. Additionally, I cannot open any of the AVS files in WMP (Ver. 10)--get error saying can't download codec--error 80040200. Microsoft's help on this is gibberish. Oddly enough, it will open the examples in Avisynth's file.

[Fishman0919]

Every movie with QuEnc I have tried (maybe 12)with DVD-RB .63a has had this problem but every one worked fine after I did the "work around". Haven't try DVD-RB .60b to see if I get the same error but really no need, it's 2 mins manual work to get it to work and I'm sure jdobbs will fix it when he gets a sec ;)

I'd think you should be able to reproduce it using the files I posted here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&postid=555276#post555276) ; if not, please let me know if there's anything else I can provide.

Obviously, the QuEnc error can only be seen using QuEnc - perhaps the same thing is occurring with other encoders, but you don't see the QuEnc "AVS file not outputting" error, so the only symptom is a mysterious "Error 0003" hours later?

Thanks for that.

I forgot I could do that and erased the working directory. I redid it,did the segment 0 m2v manually and then rebuild.
