@DVD2SVCD, DDogg or others wierd AVIsynth problem with DVD2SVCD

[markrb]

For a couple of days I have been doing test encodes with adding the line Sharpen(.6) to the AVIsynth file before the resize as follows.

LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\DVD2SVCD\MPEG2Dec\mpeg2dec.dll")
mpeg2source("E:\DVD2AV~1.D2V")
Sharpen(.6)
BicubicResize(480,360,0.00,0.60)
AddBorders(0,60,0,60)

Now if I have it there CCE blows up upon loading the AVS file the first time. However if I load the AVS and ecl files manually it works fine.

The only way I can get it to work is to move the Sharpen after the resize, but before the addborder like this:

LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\DVD2SVCD\MPEG2Dec\mpeg2dec.dll")
mpeg2source("E:\DVD2AV~1.D2V")
BicubicResize(480,360,0.00,0.60)
Sharpen(.6)
AddBorders(0,60,0,60)

I have uninstalled the DVD2SVCD bundle twice and removed CCE as well. I cleaned the registry of all mention of either program before re-installing them. I also tried safe mode and that doesn't work either.
I would like to get this working back the way I originally had it.
My biggest two questions are:
1. Why did this work for two days and then suddenly stop?
2. Why does it work if I do it manually instead of having DVD2SVCD do it?

Thanks,
Mark

I sure hope we get an answer to this... I only got it to work one time with TS and Sharpen...but the result was a black screen with a red mess at the bottom. When I try the script the way you have it and let d2s load the avs into cce I get about one frame of the movie and then an error msg (AVISynth caught an access violation at 0x1000b812, attempting to read from 0x8c798030) when playing the .mpv in Media player.

maybe just a little more info... I don't know much about this AVISynth stuff... or anything else for that matter. ;)


peace,

I have never been able to get TS and Sharpen to work completely right. I gave up on that awhile ago, since I was happy with just the results of Sharpen alone.

Did you try the way I have it in the second script with Sharpen after Bicubicresize?

yes Sharpen after resize... so while posting I did it again with Sharpen after resize and then Sharpen before resize. Sharpen after resize my RT goes about 1.9 ...way to fast for my PC. View .mpv with media player and get one or so frame(s) and the error. Sharpen after resize just crashes from the start.

If I have sharpen after resize and addborder it will crash. If I have it between the two lines it works.

I have to add this other wierdness. I was able to get TS to work if I placed it before the resize and I had sharpen after. What is really wierd is that if the setting is 2,1 it doesn't work, but if the setting is 2,2 or higher it does work.

I asked the guru's over in the Avisynth forum and this doesn't seem to be just with me or DVD2SVCD. Apparently this also happens with some others when they use Sharpen and Vdub. It acts all wierd for them to. Sometimes working and sometimes not and the order can change like what happened with me.
I guess it's not a very mature portion of Avisynth.
