TMPGenc says "AVIsynth script error"

[coffeecup]

Hi,

For some reason my previous try resulted in a closed thread ( :confused: ) , so I'll give it another try.

I've used DVD2SVCD for some time now to make backups of my DVD's. Works very fine. Now I have an AVI file that should be converted to a SVCD. This should works , BUT ... when DVD2SCVD starts with the encoding part it parses a AVIsynth script to TMPGenc. TMPGenc ends a few seconds later. The encoded video says "AVIsynth script error". Looking at the script there are 2 parameters for AVIsource : 1 -
Path+name AVI file and 2 - False. The second parameter is not recognized by TMPGenc for some reason. I searched the Net for similar problems but didnot find something resembling my problem. What I found was that I never saw a second parameter in scripts people published. Now I edit the script before encoding starts. I guess I am doing something terribly wrong, but I can't seem to find out what. I'm using the lastest versions of DVD2SVCD and TMPGenc. Who wants to help ?

Here's the AVS file that DVD2SVCD generated:

LoadPlugin("C:\Apps\DVD2SVCD\MPEG2Dec\mpeg2dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Apps\DVD2SVCD\INVERS~1\DONALD~1\decomb.dll")
AVISource("G:\MOVIE\SBTKLA~1.AVI",False)
ConvertToYUY2()
AssumeFPS(25,1,True)
Telecide()
BicubicResize(480,440,0.0,0.6)
AddBorders(0,68,0,68)


Note: TMPGenc is very recent release (2.510)

Thanks !

apparently you still haven't learned the rules:

read markrb's comments to your last post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=43904) and then try again!
(hint hint: post your logfile)
and what version of dvd2svcd you're using? you say the latest, but you also said you use the latest version of TMPG, but this release is pretty old (you have 2.51 and they are on 2.59 with a good 4-5 releases in between there).

Your title was the issue last time. This time it's good.

What exactly does the error say? It usually says more then Avisynth error. Normally it will give a reason like an unrecognized command or caught a general protection fault, etc...

Have you tried to play the avs file in media player to see if that gives you an error as well?

to hoozdapimp:

You might know that 2.510 is the successor of 2.59 (just the release notes !)
DVD2SVCD version 1.1.0c (also the lastest)


to markrb:

The errormessage "AVIsynth script error" is displayed in red in TMPGenc for about 10 seconds, while it should display frames of the AVI file. When I recover from the video encoding phase and edit the file first, remove the second parameter from AVIsource ( False ) and run again, there's no problem. I can solve the problem but I guess that DVD2SVCD shouldnot insert the second parameter.

wow! I'm sorry about that...weird numbering system they have...2.51 comes after 2.59...lol, honest mistake.

have you tried this with previous versions? im curious as to if this is just an incompatiblity with the new version of D2S and TMPG or if it has always existed.

I've used an 2.59 version of TMPGenc also.. same result

Last night I installed the new DVD2SVCD Version. Very shortly afterwards it crashed (there are posts about this, so I'll not go into this). I removed this new version, and reinstalled 1.0.9, and guess what: no second parameter for AVIsource in avs script.
Somewhere in the build after 1.0.9 there's something that puts in this parameter.
For now I'll stick to the old build of this masterpiece of software !

Thanks
