Welcome to the Doom9 forums, confessor.

Well, I don't know what could be the cause of the problem, but obviously the anisynth script doesn't work as it should. Please copy here the content of the __ENCODE_3D_MOVIE.avs file. With that info, I hope I'll be able to help...

[confessor]

[r0lZ]

Hum, it seems that the script is correct.

Anyway, try to remove the last line, with Return(last)#.Info(). In this case, it is useless. Then relaunch the encoding. I doubt that that will resolve the problem, but who know ?

Also, please verify that Avisynth is installed correctly. Use Help -> Avisynth version. You should see a dialog offering to visit the download pages the the two avisynth supported by BD3D2MK3D. Click on that dialog to be sure that it is active, and press Control-C on your keyboard, to copy its content to the clipboard. Paste it here.
Perhaps you could also try to re-install Avisynth+ anyway. Honestly, other than that, I don't see any reason for the error you have reported.

[von Suppé]

Also, please verify that Avisynth is installed correctly.
Hi r0lZ,

I recently installed AviSynth+. Can it be that there are (backward) compatibility issues as to the older Avisynth versions being used by other programs?
For example, after launching BDRebuilder, I got a "warning" that Avisynth was not installed and had to reinstall Avisynth 2.60 before being able to continue.
BTW by doing that, I would not know if I maybe have scr*wed up the + version?

[Sharc]

Just a sidenote:
I am using Groucho's Avisynth Installer (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1720988#post1720988) to switch between avisynth versions easily, e.g. switch back and forth between avisynth 2.6.0 (for BD RB) and avisynth+ for other purpose. You may want to try it.

[r0lZ]

Yes, that might be a good idea. Personally, I have never noticed problems with the new Avisynth+, and all 32-bit plugins I use are compatible (at least all plugins used by BD3D2MK3D). But I cannot be sure that a problem cannot occur with other plugins.

Also, note that it is possible to install only the 64-bit version of Avisynth+ (just untick the 32-bit version in the GUI of the official installer), and your original installation of Avisynth 2.6 will not be modified. BD3D2MK3D uses preferably Avisynth+ 64-bit when it is available, and old 32-bit only programs will continue to use the classic Avisynth 32-bit.
(If you have installed both versions of Avisynth+ with its official installer, and you kept the option to keep the old "classic" files and plugins, you can just uninstall + to restore the classic version, and then install + again, but this time, be sure to untick the 32-bit option. Not sure if that works with Groucho's installer.)

[r0lZ]

Hello. What could be the problem?
I have just updated the x264 exes to the latest version, and for whatever reason, my antivirus software (Bitdefender free) has quarantined several files from the toolset folder. I have added a new check when BD3D2MK3D starts to ensure that all required files are present in the toolset, but the new version will be available only in a week or so. I don't think the problem you are facing can be caused by false positive virus detections, but it's possible. So, verify the quarantine of your antivirus software, and restore any exe pertaining to BD3D2MK3D if necessary (or re-install BD3D2MK3D completely), then relaunch the __ENCODE_3D_LAUNCHER.cmd file of your project. Please let me know if it's sufficient to solve the problem.

[von Suppé]

I am using Groucho's Avisynth Installer (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1720988#post1720988)...
You may want to try it.

I just tried. Installing the 64bit + version next to the 32 bit v2.60 seemed to go fine. However after firing up BD3D2MK3D, I got a warning that Avisynth + wasn't installed correctly.

...note that it is possible to install only the 64-bit version of Avisynth+ (just untick the 32-bit version in the GUI of the official installer)...

This did the trick. Things are fine again.

Thanks guys.

[Groucho2004]

Not sure if that works with Groucho's installer.You can install any combination of 32 bit / 64 bit Avisynth.

[r0lZ]

I know. But I'm was not sure it can restore the original classic version after having installed another 32-bit version, if you decide to uninstall it. The official installer can, but I have not used your installer, so I can't confirm that it backs the original installation up when it overwrites it. Is it the case ?

[Groucho2004]

The official installer can, but I have not used your installer, so I can't confirm that it backs the original installation up when it overwrites it. Is it the case ?The Universal Installer has no backup function. It just installs the available versions from its repository. You can however customise the various versions in the repo since each has its own plugin directory and you can specify custom plugin directories (this only works with AVS+).

Mix and match is not recommended - either use the official installer or the Universal Installer.

[confessor]

Hi r0lZ.

No, this does not solve the problem. I also have Bitdefender and I noticed that it worked the first time you started your program. After that, I added the entire BD3D2MK3D folder to the antivirus exclusions. All program tools are in place.
P.S.
_ENCODE_2D_LAUNCHER.cmd starts and does its job, unlike __ENCODE_3D_LAUNCHER.cmd. Maybe this will lead you to some thoughts. :)

Well, the 2D encoding doesn't require avisynth. It re-encodes directly the main view with x264. So, your finding confirms only that it's the avisynth script used to convert the two views to SBS that doesn't work well.
Have you tried to install or re-install Avisynth+ 64-bit ? Maybe there is something wrong with your installation.

[confessor]

Have you tried to install or re-install Avisynth+ 64-bit ?
Yes, I tried. It does not help.

Thanks for this link, Groucho :)

[r0lZ]

Damn! I'm puzzled.

Please try this. Download AVSmeter and copy AVSMeter64.exe from the archive to your project folder (in the directory containing all files generated by BD3D2MK3D).

Then, use Notepad or any text editor to modify the __ENCODE_3D.cmd file, and add the blue lines below:


@echo off
set path=path\to\BD3D2MK3D\toolset\plugins64bit;%path%
echo Encoding movie in 3D
echo Movie: movie title

echo %path%
D:\Desktop2\AVSMeter\AVSMeter64.exe __ENCODE_3D_MOVIE.avs
pause
exit

echo Encoding started %date% %time%
@echo on
[...]

Save and double-click it to launch the encoding. You should see rapidly the "Press any key to continue . . ." prompt. Do NOT press a key. Just copy whatever you see in the command prompt window and paste it here. I hope that will give me sufficient information to locate the problem.

(BTW, to copy something from the command prompt window, you may have to right-click it and select "Mark" from the popup menu, then press Control-A to select everything and press enter to copy it to the clipboard.)

[r0lZ]

Also, if you have an Intel CPU, please try this:
Edit __ENCODE_3D_MOVIE.avs and change the mode parameter of the DGMVCSource command from "auto" to "sw", like this:

interleaved = DGMVCSource("00000.track_4113.264", "00000.track_4114.mvc", view = 0, frames = 203743, mode = "sw")

Relaunch the encoding (of course, after having removed the blue lines from the __ENCODE_3D.cmd file).
Does it work ?

If it works, that means that the libmfxhw32.dll file installed with your Intel drivers doesn't work. Try to update the intel drivers to the latest version. Or you can just change Settings -> MVC Decoder -> Hardware Acceleration from Auto to Disabled. The encoding will be slightly slower, but anyway, the speed gain is minimal.

[confessor]

echo %path%
D:\Desktop2\AVSMeter\AVSMeter64.exe __ENCODE_3D_MOVIE.avs

Here I need to specify my path to the AVSMeter64.exe file?

r0lZ, tebasuna51, Groucho2004
thanks for trying to help. :)

[r0lZ]

Oops, no sorry. Since AVSMeter64.exe is in the project directory, you don't need to specify any path. I have copied the script I've used here, and I forgot to remove the path (in yellow in your post). So, just add this, and it should work:

echo %path%
AVSMeter64.exe __ENCODE_3D_MOVIE.avs
pause
exit

[r0lZ]

Sorry. I thought that you need to make sure that the Avisynth+ is installed correctly and polled by the program. Here is the full report.
Yes, it's what I am trying to do, but I want to verify also if the necessary avisynth plugins are available.

Have you tried to replace "auto" with "sw", as explained here (https://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1891049&postcount=1771) ? Since you have Intel directories in your PATH variable, I guess you have an Intel CPU that supports theoretically the hardware acceleration. But the library provided with the Intel drivers may fail. It's why I would like to know if the software mode works.

Also, after having changed auto to sw, please try this. Edit __ENCODE_3D.cmd and add the toolset folder to the %PATH% environment variable in the second line, like this:

set path=H:\Downloads\BD3D2MK3D\BD3D2MK3D\toolset;H:\Downloads\BD3D2MK3D\BD3D2MK3D\toolset\plugins64bit;%path%

Does that work ?

Hello r0lZ,

I have a serious problem with my Angry Birds ISO (which worked perfectly fine when I played it as a disc !!!!EDIT!!! I just checked in 2D to read on my computer and in fact there is a glitch at this time).

1st conversion 12/08 (so I don't remember with which version of BD3D2MK3D but the version at this moment).
Everything is fine at the beginning...after a while I notice something strange when there is some motion (when I look with VLC, it seems that the right frame is coming before the left frame)
And around 52'01 ==> doesn't work at all
https://nsa40.casimages.com/img/2019/12/06/mini_191206055528799947.jpg (https://www.casimages.com/i/191206055528799947.jpg.html)


2nd conversion today = 06/12 (v1.17 +AviSynthPlus-r1576).
Same symptoms and also not usable after 52'01 (even if after the image is completely black istead of pixelised)
https://nsa40.casimages.com/img/2019/12/06/mini_191206055528529445.jpg (https://www.casimages.com/i/191206055528529445.jpg.html)

Of course I had some errors in the b1st step (before launching __ENCODE_3D_LAUNCHER.cmd) :

I can provide you logs if it helps.
Thanks.

PS : it's the 1st time I watch a complete movie since I discovered your software but I tried to convert another one successfully

EDIT : after writing all this, in fact maybe you can't do anything...except if you find a way that a simple glitch in the original movie does not impact all the end of the conversion?

[r0lZ]

EDIT : after writing all this, in fact maybe you can't do anything...except if you find a way that a simple glitch in the original movie does not impact all the end of the conversion?
Correct. Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be used to guess how many frames are missing, and therefore, the missing frames are simply skipped. Since during the glitch, there is a big chance that more frames are damaged for the left edge than for the right eye, or the opposite, the synchronisation of the two views (and probably also of the audio streams) cannot be maintained.
Sorry, but you need a good source to process it with BD3D2MK3D.

BTW, perhaps you could try to decrypt the BD with MakeMKV. Perhaps it will be smart enough to remove an equal number of frames in the two video streams, but honestly, I don't think so.

[seplant]
