cce sp 2.50.1.0 *.AVS error

[Turd_Ferguson]

i have been following the 'Full DVD Backup guide' and everything has worked seemingly well, until i get to the 'RoBa CCE Encoding' section. after i finish creating my template, i try to add .AVS files, and i get this error in a pop-up:

AVIFileOpen("C:\Training Day\VTS01\VTS__01_P01.4~3_1.AVS") : According to the regstry, the type of file specified in AVIFileOpen does not have a handler to proccess it.

i hit ok and nothing happens. i have tried version 2.66.1.7 of CCE too, and nothing seems to help. i am completely lost.

i used DIF4U to rip from an .ISO mounted as a virtual drive to make the files if that helps.

and i am running XP Pro SP1.

You probably need to install Avisynth. The latest version comes with an installer. Try opening your .avs file in Virtualdub, if it doesn't work read up in the Avisynth Usage forum.

thanx wmansir. i installed Avisynth 2.08. now i can get CCE SP 2.66.01.01 to open the *.AVS files correctly. unfortunately when i try to use 2.50 (the version explained in the guide) to open them, XP gives me a different error and shuts down CCE.
mabey if i try an older version of Avisynth, CCE 2.50 will work...

With CCE 2.5 you need to add audio to the .avs file (even though you don't encode it with CCE it has to be present) With earlier versions of Avisynth (I used 1.x for a long time) you can just add the line ResampleAudio(44100) to the end of your script and it will add a blank audio track. I know this doesn't work for Avisynth 2.5(beta), if there is no audio it does nothing, but I don't know about 2.08.

Later versions of CCE fixed the Audio bug, but some don't accept .avs files. The latest versions of CCE 2.66\2.67 beta will work although the interface is slightly different from the guides.

i installed avisynth 207 and everything seems to be working... for now.

I get an error with 2.08 and CCE 2.50 but not with 2.07...

For 2.08 and/or 2.5 you guys have to copy this, and save it as addaudio.avsi in your avisynth plugin directory:

function AddAudio(clip v1) {
v2 = Blankclip(v1,audio_rate = 44100, sixteen_bit=true)
v1 = AudioDub(v1,v2)
return v1
}

Then use in your script: AddAudio() instead of ResampleAudio(44100)

wmansir posted something interesting in this thread: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=42924&perpage=30&pagenumber=2

It seems the addaudio() function can be changed to:

function AddAudio(clip v1) {
v2 = Blankclip()
v1 = AudioDub(v1,v2)
return v1
}

This allows the acript to open in CCE 2.5, CCE 2.66 and still play in Media Player without the previous problems.
