Hi, guys. I'm an experienced FFT3DFilter filter user on my home computer for a few months and I know how to properly use it, such as the parameters etc but I came across a really strange one. I couldn't find the solution yet.

Here is the problem. I am doing this encode on a server workstation (Windows Server 2008 64-Bit).

Used apps
MeGUI (latest, just downloaded off SF couple mins ago)
Avisynth 2.5.8 (just downloaded off SF couple mins ago)
K-Lite Codec Pack Full (5.90, latest as of now, downloaded few mins ago)

FFT3DFilter.dll is in Avisynth's plugins folder
FFTW.dll is placed in C:\Windows\System32

My avs is (it's an anamorphic encoding)
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\FFT3DFilter.dll")

LanczosResize(720,464) # Lanczos (Sharp)
FFT3DFilter(sigma=0.75, bt=5, bw=32, bh=32, ow=16, oh=16, sharpen=0.2)

First I got "Unable to load FFTW3.DLL" error when I preview the edited script in "Avisynth Creator". So I tried placing the FFT3W.DLL in C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI

The preview worked. Then everything went OK again. Then I started the encoding process and I got the following error when the audio encoding is finished.

"Unsupport input format DIB" that thing.

My source is NTSC DVD (720x480) and AR is 1.85. I did a lot of searches and I saw a suggestion that I should try playing the .avs file in MPC and I did but I got another error (in MPC this time).

New error is

"Unable to load FFTW3.DLL" -- I think my old (very first) problem wasn't solved :(

What do I do? I even tried putting that FFTW3.DLL file in Windows/System32 but it didn't even work. :(

I think that, on 64bit versions of Windows, you have to place the DLL into C:\Windows\SysWOW64 .. I know, it seems strange, see the wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WoW64) for explanations... and I'm sure that this was said *thousands* of times on the forum already :p
