Green blocks in video

[gunfelix]

When I try to encode this video, I get green blocks everywhere. This only happens on this video, all the others are fine. If I play input.mkv in Windows Media Player or on my TV the green blocks are gone, output.mkv always has them. Do I need to install an additional codec pack or change some settings in ffdshow? I use ffvideosource + Avs2YUV + Avisynth+ + x264.

Very odd, I get the same thing with LWLibavVideoSource(), even with "threads = 1".

These decoders work without any artefacts:
- DGDecodeNV()
- DirectShowSource().

LWLibavVideoSource("input.mkv", fpsnum=30000, fpsden=1001, threads=1) working!
FFVideoSource("input.mkv", fpsnum=30000, fpsden=1001, threads=1) working!
DirectShowSource("input.mkv") no go, green blocks all over the place!
Previewed in MPC-HC and encoded to x264.
Avisynth 2.6 MT, latest LWLibavVideoSource and FFvideoSource.
Did not test other threads settings...

[Groucho2004]

LWLibavVideoSource("input.mkv", fpsnum=30000, fpsden=1001, threads=1) working!
FFVideoSource("input.mkv", fpsnum=30000, fpsden=1001, threads=1) working!
DirectShowSource("input.mkv") no go, green blocks all over the place!
LWLibavVideoSource("input.mkv", fpsnum=30000, fpsden=1001, threads=1) Green blocks
FFVideoSource("input.mkv", fpsnum=30000, fpsden=1001, threads=1) Working
DirectShowSource("input.mkv") Working:D

Preview in VDub and MPCHC, Avisynth version doesn't seem to matter.

[hello_hello]

DirectShowSource produced green blocks for me (ffdshow decoding) as did LWLibavVideoSource (I'm using an older version of L-Smash though, as it runs on XP).

ffvideosource was fine, as long as I included threads=1, otherwise all I got was a non-specific access violation message. I'm using ffms2 version 2.22.

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MeGUI\tools\ffms\ffms2.dll")
FFVideoSource("E:\input.mkv", threads=1)

[gunfelix]

DirectShowSource blacks the entire video except for the channel logo: https://www.sendspace.com/file/vdwyum
FFVideoSource with threads=1 still shows blocks
LWLibavVideoSource returns: error: Cannot load file 'C:/Program Files (x86)/AviSynth+/plugins/LSMASHSource.dll'The file is in that location.
Can't find DGDecodeNV except for a $15 donation page an dead links.

[Taurus]

Well, strange.
FFVideoSource and LWLibavVideoSource are doing fine on my side with threads=1,2,3,etc.
SetMTMode(3,0) multithreaded.. or without any thing.
Directshowsource bombs with green artefacts whatever I do.
Disabling/enabling ffdshow, disabling/enabling LAV directshow components doesn't help.
Here is a simple sample script I've used lately (without any MT stuff):
# Directshowsource("input.mkv")
# LWLibavVideoSource("input.mkv")
FFvideoSource("input.mkv")
TDecimate(cycleR=1)

Avisynth 2.6.0.6 with SET's MT Patch from 2.6.0.5
FFVideoSource from ffms2-2.22
LWLibavVideoSource from L-SMASH-Works-r879
FFDShow tryouts = latest
MPC-HC = latest stable
Virtualdub = latest stable
LAV Components = latest stable
All necessary C++ Runtimes installed (especially C++2015 for lmashsource.dll :p )
All components 32bit on Win7 64bit

LWLibavVideoSource returns: error: Cannot load file 'C:/Program Files (x86)/AviSynth+/plugins/LSMASHSource.dll'The file is in that location.Probably a missing dependency like VS2015 runtime. You can use AVSMeter (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=165528) to check for missing dependencies (use the "-avsinfo" switch).

Can't find DGDecodeNV except for a $15 donation page an dead links.Here's (http://rationalqm.us/dgdecnv/dgdecnv.html) the DGDecNV page. The 15 bucks are well spent, at least in my opinion.

That looks like it, will install it tomorrow.

I don't have a creditcard unfortunately

AVSMeter says: Cannot load file 'C:/Program Files (x86)/AviSynth+/plugins/LSMASHSource.dll'.
The file is in that directory. No other dependencies seem to be missing.

Yes, that's where my googling took me, too.

'Update for Windows (KB2999226) is already installed on this computer'
Reinstalling it doesn't help.

[Groucho2004]

One more thing you could try is the FFMS2 C-plugin (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1762372#post1762372). This does not produce the green blocks in my test.

[Reel.Deel]

There's also the patched FFMS2 here: http://avisynth.nl/index.php/High_bit-depth_Support_with_Avisynth#FFMS2

Have not tried with the sample above but might be worth a try (particularly the FFmbc build).

[Taurus]

@gunfelix:
Did you try "LSMASHSource-AviSynth-plugin-r879-msvc-32bit" lmashsource.dll
or the one one bundled with "L-SMASH-Works-r879-20160615-32bit"?
Static against dynamic linkin dll's
Both are working on my side.
Maybe some dependancies in the "L-SMASH-Works-r879-20160615-32bit" package missing?
Still strange, all decoders, except directshowsource are working fine on my side.
I think there is something fishy with the source.
Don't have the time to debug this phenomenon, maybe somebody with more insight can help you.

[StainlessS]

I think I read on StackOverflow, that could be related to coder using some dll not included in redistributable.

[Taurus]

I've finally made Directshowsource working.
FFDShow was the culprit!
I had FFDShow disabeled for avisynth and raw decoding for my tests.
But Process Explorer showed me ffdshow running in the background. No icon...
So I disabled ffdshow completely and "Bingo!", LAV Splitter and LAV Video Decoder takes control on the directshow chain.
If somebody wants to verify this: In ffdshow video decoder config/codecs:
Disable h264/avc
Disable avisynth
Disable raw
LAV is a working solution.
So time to say good bye to my old fella ffdshow...:devil::)
Only used for some postprocessing and from bad habit.
