I have the blockbuster-2.5.dll, and AviSynth v2.5.6 installed.

Here's the error I am getting:

Here's the script:
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\Plugins\Blockbuster-2.5.dll")

AVISource("C:\Video\New Folder\Noname14.avi")

Blockbuster(method="noise")

What happens if you play the avs script in media player? Is there also an error?

Try different color spaces like YV12 or YUY2.

I can't remember what color space(s) Blockbuster uses.

Try adding: ConverttoYUY2() or ConverttoYV12() to your script before calling Blockbuster.

Hope I have been of some help.

Adding a ConvertToYUY2() call didn't work (received same error), and even though the clip was already in YV12, trying a ConvertToYV12() call failed as well.

Blockbuster supports YUY2 and YV12. I tried blockbuster_25_dll_20030204.zip (from WarpEnterprises site) which works fine for me. Is this the same as yours?

Sorry the color space suggestion didn't work. I haven't used Blockbuster in a while.

It may be that the video's resolution may have to be mod8 or mod16. Try resizing the resolution to mod8 or mod16.

Like I said it has been a while since I used Blockbuster. I have been using FunkyDeblock for a while now.

In case you don't already have it, here is a link to the Blockbuster's instructions and information sheet.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Why would using FunkyDeBlock prevent you from using Blockbuster? Blockbuster isn't a deblocker as is the common misconception.

I tried that version and it worked! That dll was 128kb in size, while the one I was originally trying with was only 60kb.
