Avisynth 2.5 problem or newbie problem ^^

[Shinjipierre]

I can't even use avisource when I change my 2.07 verison of avisynth into the 2.5 (10/01/2002 and 18/01/2003) version. Is that because I forgot something (I just replaced the dll just like the 'ancient' ;) versions of avisynth or because of something else ?

Hardware : athlon 1 Ghz running on win 2000 with 256 mb of SDram.

I hope I only made a newbie mistake :p

If you create a script with this one line

Version

and open it in media player does it work? If not what error message do you get.

Do you have installed Xvid or Divx 5.0.2 ? Using AviSource opens avi in YV12 by default so you need any YV12 postprocessing filter. I know that when I open any avisynth script (with avisource and using avisynth2.5) in VirtualDubMod and check file information it shows that it's in Divx5.

I tried WMPirst and vdubmod after, no one worked. I don't have divx5.02 installed (too crappy ^^) and I loaded a div3 file so that's not the problem.

I even tried a script with converttoyuy2 and that didn't worked.
(I tried 2-3 scripts I used before)

The error I get is "unrecognized exeption" if I remember well.

First of all you really should try the Version() attempt to see, if avisynth is working at all. Just create an empty script with just the line "Version()" in it and load it in VDub/WMP.
Given it does work:

Well, of course that can be the problem. Not only DivX5 is capable (well, I wouldn't really call it capable) of decoding DivX3 content, the original DivX;-)3.11 alpha can do that, too.
So, you can either try installing DivX5 (standard edition will be enough for just decoding), or you might try ffvfw (see the ffvfw thread in the XviD forum for the download URL) and set it to decode DivX5 videos.
In case you have ffdshow installed you might also try DirectShowSource("..."), but that will leave you without audio.

ah k, I didn't know that ^^. i'll just use directshowsource :D 'cause divx5.02 **** up my comp. Let's try let's try let's try ! :o)
