MeGUI's XviD encoder frame rate errors

[andy_blah]

No matter what .avs script I use, no matter what video source I have, no matter what frame rate or frame size I have on it, it keeps giving me this error in MeGUI's log when tryint to encode something with XviD:

--[Error] An error occurred: xvid [error]: Bad Framerate 0.000000 (25/1)

Here is the script that I mainly wanted to encode:

LoadPlugin("E:\untitled folder\DGIndex 1-5-5\DGDecode.dll")
LoadCPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\Plugins\yadif.dll")
MPEG2Source("bh.d2v")
Yadif(mode=1, order=1)
Crop(18,4,-16,-4)
lanczos4resize(672, 544)

This results a 50fps video file, and also I tried with 29.970fps and 25fps videos, all seem to get the same error. Tried to encode that script with H.264 and it works just fine, the only problem is that I need the script to be specifically encoded in XviD

Anyone?

Just tried a similar script and didn't have any problems. How about reinstalling AviSynth, its plugins and MeGUI or uploading a sample file?

[andy_blah]

Tried to uninstall and reinstall MeGUI, but unfortunately it still gives the same error. Didn't try yet to do that to AviSynth yet because I am sure that it isn't it's fault here, since I can encode the script very well under VirtualDub

Here (http://megaupload.com/?d=HNUEDLRT) is a sample, included the .avs script, but you have to change the path to dgdecode.dll and yadif.dll.

[sneaker_ger]

No problems here - encoded just fine using MeGUI's xvid CQ 2 Fast profile.
Sorry, can't help you with this. *scratcheshead*

Tried also to uninstall AviSynth, reinstall it, uninstall MeGUI and reinstall it after restart, also did that with AviSynth again, but it seems that it still doesn't want to work. Can somebody point me out an xvid_encraw.exe(.dll) alternative?

You can put info() in your Avisynth script to display the framerate avisynth uses for the video.
If it's wrong you can put AssumeFPS() with the correct framerate as the parameter on the end of your Avisynth script.
As a workaround you could also specify -framerate x.yz as a custom command line option in the xvid preset you use.

I know all of that doesn't really solve your problem, but it's better then your current situation if it works.

[andy_blah]

This doesn't work, I tried to add the custom command -framerate 50.0, but it still doesn't work, the video has the correct framerate of 50fps

Have you tried updating MeGUI? You may also want to try a forced update of the xvid component.

[andy_blah]

Yes, I've tried now to update the core to it's latest version, so far the 29.970fps script works, but when I open up the script I showed above, it gives me this error:
--[Error] An error occurred: xvid [error]: Wrong input format, I want YUV encapsulated in PGM

I am not quite sure what that means...
Didn't add yet any colour space conversion filter to the script

[Adub]

Hmm... Do you know what colorspace the source is in? One thing you can try doing is adding the line "ConvertToYV12()" to the end of your script.

The weird thing is, that error usually occurs when feeding xvid a raw yuv source with no dimensions specified.

[andy_blah]

MediaInfo says it is 4:2:0, and the script with Info() in it loaded in VirtualDub gives YV12 so I suppose that adding ConvertToYV12() is pointless

[Adub]

Yeah, you wouldn't need too.

So to be clear, if you take the same script, and put it into virtualdub, then it works just fine, correct?

[andy_blah]

Precisely, and it even encodes it without a problem with FFDshow's XviD encoder

[audiohominis]

Hi guys. I'm struggling with the exact same problem here.
Tried to encode XviD via MeGUI for the first time and...
DirectShowSource("video.mts", fps=30, audio=false, ConvertFPS=True)
would throw that "Bad framerate" error.

I updated MeGUI just now.
