Hey all,

I'm following this (http://www.digital-digest.com/articles/MeGUI_H.264_Conversion_Guide_page1.html) guide to use MeGUI to generate x264 mkv files. My source is an MPEG-2 file from my PVR-250 video capture board which is probably causing the problem, but here goes. When I load the d2v creator and point it to my .mpg file I get this error when processing:
AviSynth script error:
Script error: there is no function named "DgDecode_Mpeg2Source"

Thoughts? I'm running the most recent version of MeGUI (0.2.4.1026) and I allowed the updater to run.

Thanks all!

actually, it means you have two MPEG2 decoder plugins loaded. Open your avisynth\plugins directory; inside you should find one dgdecode.dll, and no other mpeg2source.dll or similar.

Solved: problem is that the guide I was following didn't mention that I needed to install avisynth AND then run the MeGUI updater.

Or in my case, have neither of the two mentioned .dll's. I grabbed dgdecode.dll and placed it in the avisynth\plugins and fixed it.

I never would have concluded this without the tip from check.

This same error had been driving me nuts for a couple of weeks now. After d/l'ing multiple mpeg2source plugins trying to solve it, it's incredibly ironic to discover the problem is from too MANY plugins for this. *L* how counterintuitive is that?
