Couldn't open file

[SATANIC1]

Here is my problem. Simple script so I checked this forum and others for a solution but, could not find one. I was almost apprehensive to post this because it seems so elementary to figure out. Anyways...

1. Used Smart Ripper full backup
2. Used DVD2AVI and loaded movie vobs with proper settings
3. Demuxed all and saved as movie.d2v
4. Wrote the following avs script:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth2\plugins\mpeg2dec.dll")
AviSource("G:\STEP_1\MOVIE.d2v")
ReSampleAudio(44100)

5. Opened script in WMP 6.4 and get the following error message
AVIFile Source:couldn't open file (G:\test.avs,line 2)

So then I went back to my old method:

1. Used Smart Ripper full backup
2. Used DVD2AVI and loaded movie vobs with proper settings
3. Demuxed all and saved as movie.d2v
4. Loaded movie.d2v in Vfapi and saved as movie.avi
5. Loaded avi into CCE and all worked fine

I started using the avs script method because I had read in this forum that it was a much faster method. Is there something wrong with my script? I am using Avisynth 2.06. Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes, your script is wrong. Try this:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth2\plugins\mpeg2dec.dll")
MPEG2Source("G:\STEP_1\MOVIE.d2v")
ReSampleAudio(44100)

I get an unrecognized exception error trying to load an avs file with VirtualDub 1.4.10. I just want to see a preview with virtual dub before frameserving. I haven't used avisnyth in awhile. I would like to preview the avs with virtual dub. Could someone help me out? I'm using avisnyth v2.0.6. The error happens on line 7. I've checked the dv2 file to make sure the path and filename were correct and it is. btw I'm using dvd2avi v1.77.3.

It's a very basic avs file.

LoadPlugin("E:\DVDRip\Video\AviFil\Mpeg2dec\Mpeg2dec.dll")
#LoadPlugin("E:\DVDRip\Video\AViFil\decomb400rc6\decomb.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\DVDRip\Video\AViFil\convolution3d\convolution3d.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\DVDRip\Video\AViFil\UnFilter\Unfilter.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\DVDRip\Video\AViFil\TomsMoComp\tomsmocomp.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\DVDRip\Video\AViFil\lanczos3\lanczos3.dll")
Mpeg2source("E:\DVDRip\test\testclip.d2v")

.d2v created with v1.77.3 is NOT compatible with mpeg2dec.dll! Use v 1.76 instead.

Thanks, I went back to 1.76 after searching the board and finding my answer. My bad!

Now my script reads:
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth2\plugins\mpeg2dec.dll")
MPEG2Source("G:\STEP_1\MOVIE.d2v")
ReSampleAudio(44100)

Now I get Unrecognized Exception! Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance...

BTW...I am using Smart Ripper 2.41

Perhaps you're trying to load that plugin twice (since it's in the autoload directory)?

[Guest]

What version of DVD2AVI are you using?

neuron...

Using DVD2AVI v 1.77 and switching bacl to 1.76 after reading this thread.

R. Berg...

Load twice? Autoload directory?

I'll take off the loadplugin command and see if that works. If so, then that was the problem. Re:autoload directory, when I dl'd the 2 files for Avisynth, I got a .exe file with 2 subdirectories and a .scr file with I believe one subdirectory. Neither of them is "autoload". Did I unzip the program wrong or what?

[SATANIC1]

I just switched over to DVD2AVI 1.76 and ran a test on creating a .d2v file. I loaded the file and used my script with the change that neuron2 advised and it works just fine.

Thanks for the assist but I am now confused about this possibility of loading the pligin twice. I deleted the syntax which loads the plugin and it didn't work when I re-ran the script, so I know I am not loading the pgm twice. However, I am still concerned about this autoload directory and the files I dl'd from the Avisynth site. Did I get the correct pgms?

Thanks in advance.

One of the two directories should be called 'plugins', and anything you put in here will be automatically loaded into AviSynth, and a hint: Only put aviSynth plugins .dll, function scripts .avs and VirtualDub plugins .vdf in this dir.

I will check my directory structure later tonight and see if that is what I have. When I unzipped the files, they auto extracted and created their own subs but I didn't pay too much attention as to what was being created...Thanks
