Error using RB with Quenc-encoder

[apfraats]

I did all the setup correctly as the stickies described.
I wanted to use QUenc first.

Using the one button mode, RB after calling QUenc 0.54 gives the error: 'AVS FILE NOT OUTPUTTING (USE CONVERTTOYV12 AT END OF SCRIPT).

Then the process stops.

Pressing OK lets RB going to the next segment and stops again in the new stream with the same error.

Can anybody be of any help ????

This happens when you try to use Quenc? I think this is because by default the convert to yuy2 option is set in the avs options in RB. But Quenc only accepts yv12 colorspace video. SO you would want to uncheck that Converttoyuy2() option in RB avs options.

[apfraats]

I unchecked the option you mentioned, and still get the probem.

The making of the .D2V files goes ok, but when the segments are processed, - creating of m2v for vts_01 segment 0, Quenc 0.54 is called and the same error still arises:

AVS is not outputting (use ConvertTOYV12() and and of script).

Also used other source, same problem !

This error comes back for each segment to process.
Looks has to do with scripts internally generated by RB.

using the Rejig mode, and all went well, except the results where poor and the proces didn't last very long (recompression factor 52%). Although output size was exactly ok.

Enconding completed in 10 minutes.
Rebuilding completed in 8 minutes.

This is really fast (too fast).

I want to get Quenc working before I try CCE which costs about 50$ or so.

Anybody ?

Toine.

Use RB 0.67B and avisynth latest version.
Also tried RB 0.69B, same error results.

Please help

Please try it with the latest version of QuEnc (it's as simple to upgrade as replacing the QuEnc.exe)

You can aquire it from http://nic.dnsalias.com
(The latest QuEnc will at least give you a better error)

If it still errors it should at least give you the correct error.
(Sounds like an AviSynth error to me, try loading the .AVS file, that QuEnc is trying to load, in VirtualDub)

THX -NIC,

It's indeed an avisynth error.

Now I get following:

Avisynth open failure:
MPEG2Source: couldn't open souce file, or obsolete D2V file
(E:\DVD REBUILDER WORKDIR\D2AVS\V01000000001001.avs, line 5)

Although this is indeed a better specification of the error, I still dont't know what to do with it.

Looked at line 5 and there was:

mpeg2source("E:DVD REBUILDER WORKDIR\D2AVS\V01.D2V")

This file was present, so still don't know ???

Even changed working dir to simple path: E:\DVDRB\

Didn't help either.



Who can help (-NIC maybe ?)

Problem seems to be solved.

I explicitly specified path for decoder.

So to DGDECODE.DLL.

The stickies better gave these instructions that an explicitly specified path could be needed , as to say 'place the file in the plugin directory of avisynth'.

This is not working in my case.

I somewhere read by execption something about this, so I tried and succeedded !.

Stickie installation instructions should be updated with this info.

Anyway thanx everbody for responding !

n.b.: I have taken a very difficult movie for schrink (gave at 63% a very 'blocked' picture, while this is not always the case, and now going to compare with RB.
I switched Trellis quant and high quality mode on.

I already see on my Athlon 3000+ system with 1.5 GB memeory, it is a (very) slow proces. But speed was not my goal, quality was. So let's see the diffence at the end. I should then be able to tell which of them (RB with Quenc, or DVDSHRINK 3.2 with AEC enabled) will give the best result.
