Masktools Problem

[[MA]Debito]

An instruction not supported by the CPU was executed in module 'MASKTO~1'.

I keep getting this message anytime I try to load the masktools avisynth plugin.

My avisynth is 2.54 and masktools is up to date 1.4.16.

Any ideas to fix it?

I need more information : can you post the script you were using ? Why don't you use the autoloading of the plugins ? Finally, the latest version of the masktools is available here, it's the 1.5 ( though it was mainly a partial rewriting of the documentation in the avisynth's style, iirc )

I think it's because both Masktools.dll and Mpeg2dec3dg.dll have a filter named "MotionMask" which wreates a conflict when both are loaded explicitely.

To solve the problem, download the latest alpha version of avisynth, in which this issue has been adressed & solved.

[[MA]Debito]

I'm using the 2.55 alpha

Edit: and the it was the latest when i got it i think (yesterday)

[Manao]

In your first post, you said you were using avisynth 2.54. Can you check which version of avisynth is loaded, by using the version() filter ?

Also, try the following script :

d2v_file = "C:\Documents and Settings\Debito\Desktop\cowboy\cowboy.d2v"
avs_plugin = "C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\Plugins\"
LoadPlugin(avs_plugin + "\MaskTools\MaskTools.dll")
LoadPlugin(avs_plugin + "\MPEG2Dec3\MPEG2Dec3dg.dll")
encode = mpeg2source(d2v_file, idct=7, ipp=true, cpu=6)

[[MA]Debito]

still doesn't work

Edit: Also, I noticed that I should have put this in avs_plugin = "C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\Plugins"

But...this still didn't fix it.

1) Does the following script work:

avs_plugin = "C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\Plugins\"
LoadPlugin(avs_plugin + "\MaskTools\MaskTools.dll")
Version()

with mpeg2dec3dg.dll, mpeg2dec3.dll and mpeg2dec.dll outside plugin dir.

2) What kind of CPU do you have?

[Manao]

Wilbert : you should enable signature It's a PIV 2.8e

[MA]Debito : If the script Wilbert or I gave you doesn't work, it's not the fault of the masktools. And I (re)checked the MMX code, and couldn't find any AMD specific instructions. It was once the case, with an old version.

[[MA]Debito]

It didn't work...But, I never had a problem with it before...and I used the same stuff...

Edit: Ok...I've disabled HyperThreading...I'm not getting the MaskTools error anymore, Instead I'm getting this one:

Evaluate: Unrecognized exception!

My AVS file Line 68 and 74.

68: dup(threshold=2.0, copy=true, blend=true, maxcopies=20, debug=false)

74: encode = mpeg2source(d2v_file, idct=7, ipp=true,
cpu=6).IVTC().Resizing().Coloring().Processing()
