VDM 1.5.10.2
avisynth 2.5.7
ffdshow (to decode h264 codec from mkv) (have tried build date version)

I write a avs script to read a 1280x720 h264 .mkv file and encode to a xvid 704x396 avi

the script is as follow

loadplugin("C:\Program Files\GordianKnot\AviSynthPlugins\VSFilter.dll")
DirectShowSource("41_720.mkv",audio=false, fps=23.976,convertfps=true).lanczosresize(704,396)
return textsub("41v2.ssa").textsub("cast.ssa").textsub("op.ssa")


I did a 2-pass encoding
after finishing 1st pass VDM will hang, not responding, so it will not jump to 2nd pass (in the job list) automatically. I ve to kill the VDM process instead and start the 2ndpass job task


However if I remote the textsub() function, there is no such problem. I'm not quite sure which software has compaitblability problem..


With the same software VDM, ffdshow, avisynth on a AMD K7 3200+ , there is no such a problem occur.

The problem is probably vsfilter.dll, if it's the one that comes with gordianknot. IIRC foxyshadis helped fix this bug, try doing a search for "vsfilter hang" for more info.

when i tried my new Vaio laptop yesterday i had someting like this ,,, i thought there was something missing ( i didn't realy care about it , because i am still using my old one )

i was encodeing without VSfilter ,,,

Back ...
I have an error message when encoding with 2 threads says " 2nd pass has more frames than 1st pass ( 210 vs 198 )
( one thread has no problem )

the same error appears with or without using avisynth
with Avisynth i tried xvid|avi And wmv9|wmv

i'm using Vista,Avisynth2.57,x264 vfw core 56, build Jul 18 2007
my Cpu is core2Due (T7400) 2.2 GHZ

Nary, if you have a different problem, open a new thread about it. (But search for the error message, I'm sure I've seen it posted here before.)
