Just tried on and off all day to get this very good sharpening function to finally work as I've tried in the past but today I had the time to spend working out why, everything said it should work but it still kept falling over for no real reason

My last attempt was to try reinstalling AviSynth but using 2.5.7 as I noticed that it the very latest release, instead of 2.5.5 and it worked straight away with no changes to anything

Also the reply I got from the AviSynth forum was that the function and the filters it uses seems to be written with at least AviSynth 2.5.6 in mind, so that would appear to be my problem. Wrong version of AviSynth


So, if you are having problems getting LimitedSharpen to run or filters failing that should be working, just try installing AviSynth 2.5.6. I've used this version in the past with no problems with DVD-RB


I only just remembered that there was a newer version that worked with DVD-RB previously and it cured my banging my head on the table wondering what was wrong and just about ready to give up again

Just be careful. There have been issues reported with AVISYNTH v2.5.7 -- so please don't come here reporting problems with DVD-RB...

That was why I explained that DVD-RB uses 2.5.5 of AviSynth when trying to find out why the filter function didn't work as it should be, as its been tested to show no problems

Its just that to get these filters to work it was explained that you need 2.5.6, but as I saw 2.5.7 I'd give it a try, and if that started messing things up go back to 2.5.6 which I have used previously with no issues

Problem is though, AviSynth 3.0 is being worked on, which I belive is a major rewrite, would you be supporting that once it gets to a stable release, as I assume filters would be rewritten and new filters written purely for v3.0

It'll take a very long time before v3.0 is out. The next major release is v2.6 which should contain a lot of useful improvements and fixes. It might take quite long for even that version to get to the release phase.

Most of your problems with v2.5.7 alpha can probably be cleared by adding the line SetPlanarLegacyAlignment(true) in the filter editor. You need that line at least if you use NaN's DGDecode.
