Avisynth 2.6 MT

[LigH]

Exactly wrong for a 64-bit Windows.

The 32-bit AviSynth DLL is in SysWOW64. This one you should have kept.

The 64-bit AviSynth DLL is in system32. This one you should remove. And ensure that only the remaining 32-bit AviSynth installation is used, by both 32-bit and 64-bit encoders.

ok so i re installed the newest avisynth 2.6.i removed the avisynth.dll from the sys32 folder i tried my script and got the same erro about no function named "MT".So then i replaced the SysWOW64 avisynth.dll with the modified avisynth.dll on the first page of this thread.still same error

[LigH]

Then scan through all harddisk partitions everywhere for other copies of avisynth.dll, you probably have a mess of too many old versions; if AviSynth couldn't be found at all, the error would be different (like not being able to handle *.avs files).

Maybe you are using MeGUI (which provides an own copy of AviSynth in case it is not correctly installed)? You are providing too few useful details; we can not even be certain that you are not trying to use a 64-bit AviSynth...

[chevy]

yes im useing megui.i installed a 32bit version of avisynth 2.6.so should i delete all avisynth.dll's i find except the one in C:\Windows\SysWOW64?

i just manually loaded the modified avisynth.dll and went to preview my script and it froze megui(turned all the screens white)

[StainlessS]

Uninstall ALL versions of Avisynth, search for all copies of Avisynth.dll and delete, and new reinstall again.
If you mean System32, then say System32 and not sys32. Also, re-read everything that LigH said.

EDIT: It may be suffiicient to rename your MeGUI directory (temporarily) instead of deleting the dll from there.

[chevy]

ok i will do all that now,again thank you both for the replys.

It looks like you're trying to use the MT plugin with Set's DLL. It's not supported any more.
Also, post your script!

[chevy]

Ok so how dose one install and use MT now?.I'm just trying it with this

mt("spline36resize(720,last.height)")
mt("spline36resize(last.width,400)",splitvertical=true)

One doesn't. Read the first post in this thread, it explains how to use the multi-threading functions.

Distributed frames are preferred over sliced frames these days. Look at the example "Differences between MT() and SetMTMode()" on http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/MT_support_page.

With a little research/reading you can answer your own questions without even asking :-)

Ok so i deleted all avisynth.dll's.I installed the newest avisynth 2.6 32bit.i replaced the avisynth.dll in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 with the modified one from the first post and still getting same error there is no function named "MT".

If you don't post the script (as I asked you to), nobody will be able to help.

i did post it earlier but here it is again,sorry i see i didn't post it all earlier here it is now

LoadPlugin("C:\Users\root\Desktop\MeGUI_D\tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")
DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\Users\root\Documents\VIDEO_TS\VTS_02_1.d2v", info=3)
LoadPlugin("C:\Users\root\Desktop\MeGUI_D\tools\avisynth_plugin\ColorMatrix.dll")
ColorMatrix(hints=true, threads=0)
#deinterlace
crop(0, 2, 0, 0)
#resize
#denoise
mt("spline36resize(720,last.height)")
mt("spline36resize(last.width,400)",splitvertical=true)

I see you didn't read the instructions in the first post of this thread.
You're still wrapping your resize calls with "mt", a function from a plugin that is not supported by this version of Avisynth.
Also, I don't know why you are even trying to multi-thread such a simple script which would be more than fast enough running in a single thread.

[chevy]

i was just useing that for testing ,So drop the MT i assume and use SetMTMode()

Correct.

[luke83]

I'm using that Avisynth MT version: http://code.google.com/p/avisynth-mt/
It works good for me. Why should i use yours?

well.. if you read what's there on the site of your link, then you'll know that:

This is SEt's 2.5.8 MT version compiled with MSVC 2010 (SP1) so it will run on Windows XP SP3 and newer.

it's also SEt's dll, only the old 2.5.8

And if you read the first post, you'll know that in the version from this thread

MT mode stability is way better than Avisynth 2.5.8, general stability - the same as official Avisynth 2.6 (which is again better than 2.5.8 due to many bugfixes since then).

[luke83]

i use both SetMTMode and MT. I use MT only with FluxSmoothT (temporal smoother) couse it doesn't work with setmtmode.

here is my script. I've deleted some settings

SetMTMode(1,0)
<Plugin loading and/or importing>
MPEG2_Source()
Colormatrix()
SetMTMode(2,0)
# Deinterlacer
AssumeTFF().Telecide(guide=1).Decimate(mode=1,threshold=2.0)
# Spatial Denoiser
RemoveGrain(2).RemoveGrain(2)
# Temporal Denoiser
MT("FluxSmoothT(temporal_threshold=7)",2)
# Cropper
crop()
# Resizer
Spline16Resize()
# Dehalo
fft3dfilter(bt=-1, plane=0, dehalo=1.0, hr=2.0, ht=50, svr=0)
# Sharpener
MSharpen(threshold=10, strength=100,mask=false, highq=true)
aWarpSharp()
ToonLite(0.2)
# Anti-aliasing
AAA()

How can i use any temporal smoother with your new version if i can't use MT("") anymore?

Thanks in advance

EDIT:
fluxsmooth produces several artifacts and i've discovered that i've never used it really until now, couse setmtmode makes it unuseful if you don't use MT("") function
Today, when I've used MT(""), it worked but not as good as expected, so i've removed it.

Then i've installed your avisynth version in system32 folder. Have I to replace avisynth.dll file in megui folder too? (I've portable version of megui)

[LigH]

MeGUI preferably uses the installed AviSynth version. An own copy was added in case the user did not install any other AviSynth. This may happen for a "portable" use where installing AviSynth was not possible (e.g. due to a missing administrative access).

I am surprised that FluxSmoothT is an example for a filter which fails with the current multithreading process, and I am certainly interested in details why. Apart from that ... you are using a lot of filters, I really wonder if a different and smaller selection can produce a similar result with less efforts. Especially the double sharpen makes me wonder which kind of source requires that. Or which kind of audience?
