Unrecognized exception error since windows re-install and i can't trace it

[Antimon]

ever since i did a fresh install fo windows xp, i can;t get avi synth to read my mpeg2sorce d2v's anymore, in either copy of windows, i get unrecognized exceptions errors

avi synth verison 2.0.6
dvd2avi verison 1.76 nic modified version
not sure which mpeg2dec i'm using as i've tried several including the one that used to work

i know avisynth is somewhat working as i can frameserve avi's just fine

i've been through the faq, and the first few pages of the forum haven;t found a solution yet, any ideas?

script is real simple

LoadPlugin("MPEG2DEC.DLL") *same folder as avs file)
MPEG2Source("C:\Temp\DVD cap\goldy\goldy.d2v")
Crop(2,60,716,363)
BicubicResize(688, 288)

i get an unrecognzied exception on line 2 in any application, vdub, mplayer etc

(Try to put "mpeg2dec.dll" and all your filters in AVisynth Plugin directory ( originally it's "c:\program files\Avisynth2\plugins\" ).
This way you don't need "loadPlugin("xxx")" anymore. they are loaded automatically. )


I've Never tried DVD2AVI_Nic... So I don't know if it works..
But generally, when I have a bug somewhere, I stop using "non-standard" stuff, and I stick back to "known-working" appz...

If you are using a modified version of dvd2avi 1.76 you need mpeg2dec2.dll. You can find this file in the faq.

it's modified in it's features not it's kernal the d2v files are identicle near as i can tell to the straight 1.76

i uninstalled avisynth 2 and put 1.06 back in which is what i had in when it worked, same error. I also went back to the original mpeg2dec i had originally

so nwo i have the same mpeg2dc, avisynth and dvd2avi that worked together pre-re-install......doesn;t sound like a common error might not find an answer

i tried throwing in mpeg2dec2 as well as a few modified versions *from the other thread* of mpeg2 dec still nothing....i been wanting to format this thing and start fresh anyway but this is getting tiresom.

now what is an unrecognzied exception....is that pointing to a problem with avisynth, the mpeg2dec decoder, the scrpt *so simple so i doubt it* or the d2v file/dvd2avi ?

[Antimon]

well doing some troubleshooting, if i switch to direct vob serving, with MPEGDecoder.dll and the vob files it works

so that eliminates avisynth

so now it's either the d2v or mpeg2dec
