[MeGUI] Xvid Error - HELP!

[pilgrim365]

Hi guys, I'm a long time follower but no-time poster. I've encountered a problem I just cannot resolve and I was hoping for some expertise.

By choice I would never encode in Xvid over x264 but in this situation I'm encoding for a standalone that doesn't support h264. Cutting to the chase here is the error in the log:

I attempted everything I can think of to resolve this and have scoured the internet and these forums to no success. Here are the attempts I've made:

- Force reinstalled Xvid
- Ensured the width & height are mod16
- Tried different vob files
- Attempted indexing with FFMSIndex
- Even tried encoding with default xvid settings just for the hell of it.

I've had no problems encoding with x264, but for some reason beyond me xvid just doesn't want to know. Someone please tell me where this issue is!

Try opening the avs file in VirtualDub, that way you can see what the error message is from Avisynth.

In my MeGUI folder don't exist FluxSmooth.dll, is in ...MeGUI\tools\avisynth_plugin\... like UnDot.dll

[pilgrim365]

Fluxsmooth is located where the code suggests on my machine. But that is irrelevant to the issue here. It's strange because I have used Xvid for testing purposes a while back but now I just cannot get it to run.

Eventually solved the issue. I figured that it would involve a reinstall of something somewhere, and that culprit was AviSynth. I installed the recently-ish released 2.6 version and all is functional again.

Thanks for the information. It worked for me too!!
