Last hour of movie is totally blank

[miggs78]

I need some help fellows..

Trying to do an Xvid Rip of an Indian movie..
Created d2v, edited avisynth script, all is good.

I started ripping, I got no errors, but after the rip, I notice out of a 2hr 30 mins movie, the last hr of the movie is totally blank.. I tried the rip again, same results no luck.. Thought maybe the d2v is half, so I recreated it, making sure it works... Still no luck with ripping same problem...

Sample: http://www.sendspace.com/file/cfpsk2
Scrip I am using:

Load_Stdcall_plugin("E:\Documents and Settings\Miggs78\Desktop\Ripping\yadif09\yadif.dll")
DGDecode_mpeg2source("E:\SALAAMNAMASTE\VIDEO_TS\VTS_02_1.d2v",cpu=2,info=3)
ColorMatrix(hints=true)
assumetff()
yadif(mode=1,order=1)
mrestore()
crop( 4, 58, -4, -60)
Lanczos4Resize(640,272) # Lanczos4 (Sharp)
#denoise
degrainmedian(mode=3)
limitedsharpenfaster(smode=3,strength=60,ss_y=1.5, ss_x=1.5,overshoot=1)

I was thinking of ripping the DVD again to hard drive...

Any clues?

You have to make intermediate steps to find the problem. Start by opening the rip itself (VIDEO_TS.ifo) in a media player, does the last hour play? Then look at it in DGIndex, you can use the seek bar to get to the end. Then open the avisynth script in virtualdub with nothing but mpeg2source and check the end. Add one line back at a time, save, and refresh (F2 in vd, F5 in vdmod).

If the video is still present after all of that, you might be seeing a crash during execution somewhere, but it's impossible to say where it might be if the output is completely blank. Maybe you could supply a piece of the original movie that crosses over the area where it turns black.

Did all that foxy, seems to work everywhere..
The other day I just tried it once again, but used yadif's default settings yadif(mode=0,order=-1) and it actually worked but got the framerate to more like 12fps for the movie, I used mrestore() with it, so the settings were probably not right for yadif. Originally my script I used that started the problem is:

Load_Stdcall_plugin("E:\Documents and Settings\Miggs78\Desktop\Ripping\yadif09\yadif.dll")
DGDecode_mpeg2source("E:\SALAAMNAMASTE\VTS_02_1.d2v",cpu=2,info=3)
ColorMatrix(hints=true)
assumetff()
yadif(mode=1,order=1)
mrestore()
crop( 4, 58, -4, -60)
Lanczos4Resize(640,272) # Lanczos4 (Sharp)
#denoise
degrainmedian(mode=3)
limitedsharpenfaster(smode=3,strength=60,ss_y=1.5, ss_x=1.5,overshoot=1)

As you can see in that script I used different settings for yadif, maybe that is what is causing the problem. Just for a test I am going to try use tdeint or yadif(mode=3,order=1) to see if that changed anything.

I will post a sample in the morning..
Thanks :)
