System Exception/Registery Error

[PaulisDead2221]

Ignore "Registery Error" in the title.

I've got a couple of issues. I recently put a new partition for XP on my harddrive and had to reinstall a bunch of stuff, including avisynth. All my old avisynth files are working just fine now, except for one, which I get this error message for:

Evaluate: System Exception - Access Violation
(Blah blah.....line 3)

Here's the script:
LoadPlugin("C:\CONVERSIONKIT\ConversionKit\dgmpgdec147b5\DGDecode.dll")
v = mpeg2source("C:\PHANTOM_MENACE\ProjectIndexEpisode1.d2v")
a = DirectShowsource("C:\PHANTOM_MENACE\ProjectIndexEpisode1 T01 3_2ch 448Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3")
audiodub(v,a)
LanczosResize(844, 480)

All the path and filenames are fine, so I dunno, let me know if I'm leaving out anything.

EDIT:
Oh yeah--Version is 2.57

You can find the offending file (usually) by running Filemon.exe from http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Filemon.html . Capture activity until you get the crash, then look at the log for the dll that gets accessed right before the error messages start.

You can also try Tritical's Avisynth 2.57 versions, at the bottom of his page.

Finally, maybe NicAudio might work better than DirectShowSource for the AC3 file. Dunno for sure, though.

Hey thanks for the nicaudio tip, I got the file working again without the system exception, I tried using the Filemon and I was kinda lost, but I think I got it enough that ditching Directshow was the way to go, but I got one more problem now.

The file plays fine in any media player, but when I reassociate the timeline with this new file I get no sound for some reason (I deleted the old conformed audio files, still nothing, I even tried importing it by itself, not reassociating my old timeline videos, still nothing). This is only happening with the one file, I tried importing another file for a different project with Nic and Premiere will get the sound. The only difference between the two files is one is using a 3/2 ac3 file and one is a 2/0 file so I guessed that was the problem for some reason...so I tried using the 2/0 mix from the same DVD for this paticular project, again it played fine in all the media players. When I import (well, when I reassociate the old files with the new one) it into Premiere, I get audio, but the video has a strange error message I can barely read in the timeline window that says:

[something off screen]AC3Source: error in file "Test 2/0 CHANNEL TO2........ac3"


Here's the Script for my 3/2 version--avisynth version 2.57

LoadPlugin("C:\CONVERSIONKIT\ConversionKit\dgmpgdec147b5\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("F:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\NicAudio.dll")
v = mpeg2source("C:\PHANTOM_MENACE\ProjectIndexEpisode1.d2v")
a = NicAC3Source("F:\Documents and Settings\Samuel Hawkins\My Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro\7.0\SWTESTS\ProjectIndexEpisode1 T01 3_2ch 448Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3")
audiodub(v,a)
LanczosResize(844, 480)

Anyway is there something wrong with the way Premiere is trying to import 3/2 with NicAudio? Thanks for the help so far. I guess I can try using Filemon again, but how do I tell when reading through it that it's found an error? Thanks again.

Try using NicAC3Source() to downmix to two channels.
