DGMPGDec 1.4.5 don't work at all for me!

[molitar]

I have tried and best i was able to get was a screen with garbage in it or it closes immediately. Using the latest version with this script. I can't see anything wrong with it to cause issues because dvd2avi works fine so for now I have to go back to it, since right now this program is totally buggy.

Please post a short fragment of your unprocessed source clip that I can use to see the problem.

Where do you see the problem? In DGIndex? When you serve the AVS script into VirtualDub? In the final encode?

Ok problem seems to happen when I load up Wilberts dub script. Seems combination of updating AVISYNTH, MPEG2DEC (I could have wrong version can't find Dividee's version), and DGINDEX broke the capability in both DVD2AVI and DGINDEX. My DVD.AVS Script:

Now the wilbert's script is here at the avisynth site and have used it for over a year now without any problems until I did the updates:

http://www.avisynth.org/VirtualDub_I

------------------------------------------------

When I play it back with my player MPC I get the message the script's return value was not a video clip. If I try it with dvd2avi I get the message that mpeg2dec.dll is not a valid avisynth 2.5 plugin. It just does not seem to like the script at all. Even if I shorten the script to the first only process for a test it still fails.

# Some general notes: #
# #
# 1) Colorspace: #
# VD filters use RGB input as opposed to Avisynth which works #
# in both YUV and RGB space. Simply adding ConvertToRGB32 before #
# the VD_xxxx call and everything should work ok and add #
# ConvertToYUY2 after the VD_xxxx call. #
# #
# 2) Interlaced material: #
# Some VirtualDub filters (for example Zoom v1.2) have an option #
# to select interlaced while the corresponding script has not. #
# This can be done internally in AviSynth in the following way: #
# clip.SeparateFields.VD_Zoom(...).Weave or #
# Weave(VD_Zoom(SeparateFields(clip),...)) #
# #
# 3) If you are using AviSynth2 you can use ConvertbackToYUY2 #
# instead of ConvertToYUY2 for converting back to YUV. #

When using DGMPGDec, it is essential to have matching versions of DGIndex and DGDecode, that is, use the ones that come together in the ZIP file. You cannot mix and match DGIndex with any arbitrary version of mpeg2source().

Search your hard drive and remove or rename all copies of DGIndex.exe and DGDecode.dll. Then install the matching pair. Finally, load that version of DGDecode.dll in your AVS script.

For help on Avisynth scripts, please post in the Avisynth Usage forum.

I have done that with dgindex and dgdecode and can't find any other reference. That is what I can't figure out. I'll post the above in avisynth and see if that might be the culprit in some strange form.

Ummm... you did make a new D2V file using the new DGIndex after installing the new versions, right?

That is, you can't just use the old D2V file if the file version/file format used by these tools has changed...

Remove (or rename the extension) from avisynth plugin folder any MPEG2Dec(x).dll
