HELP!! To all you AVISYNTH advanced users

[Knoxy]

Hi,

I cant seem to get CCE V2.5 to load my avs files! the message I keep getting is "Star1.avs is not an ECL file for CCE"
I have also set CCE to accept *.avs as ECL.

I'm trying to convert an avi to mpeg2, by the way the WAV file is uncompressed! I have ran the script file through windows media and it play fine.

Here is a copy of the script file:

loadplugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth\avisynth\MPEG2DEC.dll")
video = AVISource("C:\Star1.avi")
audio = WAVSource("C:\Star2.wav")
audiodub(video, audio).convertfps(25).bicubicresize(576,480)
resampleaudio(41000)

I'm using Avisynth version 2.0.4

system spec:
XP Pro
AMD Athlon 1.3ghz
512mb ddr

Please help I have tried looking through the forum and cant find anyone with the same problem!

I have tried everything I can think of and yet I'm still getting the ECL error message!

Regards

Use right mouse click "add" in CCE, not File>>open

Thanks for the quick reply WarpEnterprises!

But I had tried this and still get the same problem!

Have you tried loading your avi with directshowsource instead of avisource.

also i dont think you need
loadplugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth\avisynth\MPEG2DEC.dll")
when loading avi source files.

Troy,

Could you advise me what you mean by directshowsource? As I have only
started experimenting with AVISynth. So even if you could show me exactly how I should script my .avs file including directshowsource that would be great!

I also removed loadplugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth\avisynth\MPEG2DEC.dll")
from the script file but I'm still getting the same error message with CCE.

This is really cracking me up!

Thanks for the advice so far guys. Can you suggest anything else to remedy this problem?

Did you try the same with a real AVI file?
(e.g. open your script in VirtualDub - the best way to verify. Then save a small fraction to a AVI file and try open this in CCE)

I have successfully opened the .avs file with Virtual Dub and converted the avs file into an MPEG2 file with TMPG. So there doesnt
seem to be a problem with the avs file! There seems to be a problem with CCE recognising the script as an ECL file when trying to load into CCE.

Can you think of anything else that may help me solve this problem?

Thank you

I have also set CCE to accept *.avs as ECL.It's an AVS file, not an ECL file. It should load exactly the same way an AVI file loads. Try drag-n-droping the .AVS file onto the CCE dialog.

I basically uninstalled everything associated with Avisynth e.g. DVD2SVCD, Avisynth2 as well as the version that I'm using which is version 2.0.4 which I then reinstalled just incase there were any conflicts! And now Cinemacraft is allowing me to Add the .avs file as you had suggested but when I try to encode, CCE crashes a few seconds into the process.I'm still using the same script as above. Any ideas now guys?

Read the FAQ, Q14.1. CCE-SP 2.50 cannot process audio on the Thunderbird CPUs, double click on the AVS in CCE's main window and uncheck "Audio File".

Guys,

I would like to thank you for your help! I'm now up and running with
AVISYNTH although some teething problems.

Thanks :)
