avisynth 2.5.6 not working?

[EuropeanMan]

I am using a laptop
Intel Duo Core processor 1.83
4gb ram
120gb HD
-------
I am wanting to convert a DVD9 into 2-cd rip via MeGUI.

Here is my script within AviScript dialogue box.

DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\Users\Farooq Malik\Desktop\KRRISH\VIDEO_TS\VTS_02_1.d2v",cpu=4,info=3)
ColorMatrix(hints=true)
#Not doing anything because the source is progressive
crop( 0, 58, -2, -62)

Lanczos4Resize(720,304) # Lanczos4 (Sharp)
SetMemoryMax(1024)
MT("LimitedSharpenFaster(ss_x=1.0, ss_y=1.0, Smode=3, strength=250, overshoot=1)",3)
-----------------
Upon testing/viewing the script...I get the following error.

"Wrong avisynth version. Use avisynth 2.6 or greater or modified 2.5.6
(C:\Farooq Malik\Desktop\Krrish\Video_ts\krrish.avs, line 8)
-----------------

I downloaded version 2.5.7 and installed that, and the same error occurs...
What did I do wrong here? My solution? Thanks in advance. - Farooq

Hi!Use avisynth 2.6 or greater or modified 2.5.6I'm not a user of either AVISynth or MeGUI but, the message seems to be eminently clear - and version 2.57 doesn't equal either "v.2.6 or greater" or "modified v.2.5.6"...

[EuropeanMan]

But I cannot find version 2.6 or modified 2.5.6?!!!
Where can I locate this...I even tried the avisyn.org!!!

Also, do I have to uninstall 2.7? or...

You forgot to copy the included avisynth.dll from MT into the windows/system32 folder or wherever you have the original avisynth.dll located on your computer.

Hi,

You are using -MT- which is very picky to use see: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=94996 and http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/MT
To stay out of trouble or restrain problems, better use the last 0.7 MT WITH the last 2.57.0.5 as in the links.

Ok, I downloaded MT and installed the avisynth.dll into system32

and now it seems it is working...
apparently my original script really destroyed the print...
i will end up using smode=4 AND strenth=200...print now looks better...still seeing if i can change it further...

thanks all for your help...
IF i post screenshots, will you folks be able to advise better techniques or filter settings...? thanks...

Post lossless (png recommended) source/after pics and the script you used. Then someone might be able to help you.

Looks pretty solid to me, but its hard to judge a whole encode with only one frame :)

You mentioned issues with text? Lets see a sample of that..

Also, I would suggest not using a resizer at all, and over-cropping to achieve MOD16. It's just my personal preference, but I recommend everyone try it out :)

I'm running the encode right now...still have about 4hrs55mins left on it...actually i crop to make sure i won't get black bars in xvid encoding...

But in MeGUI, i'm forced to use some sort of resizer...so I choose Lanczos4...and original is 720...so I keep it at that rez... :) so therefore don't understand fully your statement/opinion there...perhaps you can clarify...thanks - Farooq

Why is the MeGUI going over size? I asked for total 1395MB (2cd rip)...240Mb is the audio...1050 or so should be the video size...but even with 3hrs left on the encoding...it says project video size is almost 1500MB!!!
