Need some help with xvid :)

[noobjunks]

Hey! I need your help! A guy from the iue5 forums,called Anx told me to ask for your help!

I'm currently making a Counter-Strike: Source movie, so I found this guide: (http://iue5.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5764) about cfg and settings and all that... So I used the guide: 8C. LAME, VirtualDubMod, and more for Xvid..

It all went as it should be until I should make the .avs file with notepad.. I managed to make the .avs file.. But when i opened VirtualDubMod and tried to open the .avs file, it said: Avisynth open failure: unexpected character "i"..

My .avi file is just called "video.avi"

So what I wrote in the .avs file was...

AVISource("video.avi")
Crop(0,0,-0,-0)
ConvertToYV12()

I just can't seem to fix the problem!

Do you know how to solve this problem, people?

[buzzqw]

try specificying the full path... like
avisource("c:\test\temp.avi")

also... remember to install AviSynth!

BHH

Crop 0,0,0,0 does nothing :)

The YV12 conversion should be essential for MPEG encoding however.

Now it says:
AVI Import Filter error: (Unknown) (numbers.. bla bla..)

[Blue_MiSfit]

Hmm.. Can you open the AVI directly in VirtualDub? This tests for a VFW decoder, which you may not have..

Yeh , i can open it in VirtualDub.exe, but not in VirtualDubMod.exe

Hi!Yeh , i can open it in VirtualDub.exe, but not in VirtualDubMod.exeSounds like your VirtualDubMOD setup is either incomplete or corrupted - since VirtualDubMOD should handle all files that VirtualDub accepts (Plus MPEG-2 input, that VirtualDub won't process)...

[noobjunks]

So what to do?

[Valeron]

download the full installation pack here (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/virtualdubmod/VirtualDubMod_1_5_10_2_All_inclusive.zip?modtime=1125529938&big_mirror=0), to enable full feature. if you need the most up-to-date stuff, there's an bugfix update build here (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/virtualdubmod/VirtualDubMod_1_5_10_2_b2542.zip?modtime=1140555275&big_mirror=0)(probably with an "feature limitation warning" addon only). simple replace those in the full pack with these 2 update files. (VDM.exe and VDM.vdi only)

[noobjunks]

It still does not work! :(

[Valeron]

try to load the avs with VD to see if the same error happen:confused:

[noobjunks]

yeah, the exact same error happens!

[Valeron]

check if ur avs was saved in ANSI coding method.
simply open it with notepad, "File"->"Save As...", check the "Encoding" method. make sure it's ANSI.
and "crop" is unnecessary when it's called with (0,0,-0,-0) since it do nothing at all. i suggest remove it for safe process.

[noobjunks]

i made sure of that.. same error...

[foxyshadis]

avisynth 2.5.7? Nothing else in your script? It sounds like some alignment issue is causing a stack overflow, which is..... odd.

Also, try avisource("...",pixel_type="YV12")

[noobjunks]

D'OH!!!!

my avisynth was installed correctly! thanks for the help ppl :)
sorry for being such an idiot :P
