What is this MeGUI/x264 error ?

Trying to encode a video captured with a video camera.

and using this avisynth script
AVISource("F:\HDV Capture\Tape 1 - Clip 002.avi", audio=true)
tfm(order=0).tdecimate(hybrid=3)
#crop
#resize
#denoise

I get this error in MeGUI log
[Error] An error occurred: x264 [error]: could not open input file 'F:\HDV Capture\Tape 1 - Clip 002.avs'

I'm using the x64 version of Jeeb's x264 build.

Does your .avs script preview in vdub or a directshow player e.g. mpc?

Do you have a vfw dv decoder (e.g. enable DV in ffdshow vfw configuration)

ya it plays in vdub and mpc.

i set all stable formats to libavcodec in ffdshow.

[poisondeathray]

I have no idea.... if it previews it should work

Confirm dv is enabled in the ffdshow vfw configuration (gold icon, not red icon)?

What happens when you use DirectShowSource() instead of AVISource() ?

If your DV decoder is decoding to a different colorspace (just guessing, maybe ffdshow is set lower than another DV decoder), maybe try adding ConvertToYV12() at the end of the script

dvsd is set to be decoded by ffdshow

ConvertToYV12() didn't work

DirectShowSource() didn't work, same errors in both cases.

Do you have a 64-bit build of avisynth and VfW decoders?

[Sharktooth]

all encoding/decoding softwares must be either 32 bits or 64 bits.
since megui is built as a 32 bit app, everything should be 32 bits until you "flagged" it as a 64 bit app or compiled megui by yourself.

no

so i won't be able to use 64-bit x264 in megui ?

[Sharktooth]

nope. unless you replace all your softwares involved in the decoding/encoding/frameserving/filtering... etc processes with 64 bit versions (megui included).

[St Devious]

nope. unless you replace all your softwares involved in the decoding/encoding/frameserving/filtering... etc processes with 64 bit versions (megui included).

understood. thanks.

I'm guessing everything is not available in 64-bit yet ?

[Sharktooth]

most of the softwares are available, but not all. for example there are just few avisynth filters compiled for x86-64.
