SwiftAVS Help

[Hello]

After help from many people, we're all confused about this error. I open a file in SwiftAVS 2.51, generate a script, save it, load it in the preview player and I can't watch it because none of the video buttons like "play" are highlighted. I also get an error when I open it with VDub. Any help here? We've tried no filters, different versions, and still nothing.

[Hello]

Anyone? Help!

[Hello]

Come on, I really need to have this program start working. Anyone?

[DoW]

Your not giving us much info to work with. Post the AVS code using the [/code] tags and tell us what version of Avisynth you have installed.

[Hello]

Ok, I shall do that. I'm using SwiftAVS version 2.51 and here is a copy of a script:


#script Generated by SwiftAVS.

#PLUGINS:
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\SwiftAVS\Plugins\BlockBuster_YV12.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\SwiftAVS\Plugins\Cnr2_YV12.dll")

#SOURCE:
AviSource("C:\Documents and Settings\_Louis_\Desktop\1.avi", false)
ConvertToYV12()

#CHROMA NOISE REDUCER:
Cnr2(mode="oxx",scdthr=8)

#BLOCKBUSTER:
BlockBuster(method="noise", block_size=8, detail_min=1, detail_max=10}

All I do is open file, select the file, go to bitrate tab and select Xvid because thats what it is (I don't know why DivX is first chosen), add my filters, generate script, save it, load it in preview, and nothing.

Also, I'm not too sure about this program, so I don't know if I need other programs like AVISynth. I don't have AVISynth because I was told I can make a script with SwiftAVS, open it with VirtualDub and it should work. Any way I do it, it never works.

Actually, SwiftAVS is an utility that create avisynth scripts, so in order to use them, you need to install avisynth.
You should consider to look the FAQ here or at avisynth.org to learn what avisynth is.

[Hello]

Ok, I have AVISynth now and it actually previews. But there is an error - the preview screen in says on a black background in red letters:

LoadPlugIn: "C:\Program Files\SwiftAVS\Plugins\Blockbuster_YV12.dll" is not an AVISynth 1.0 plugin {C:\Documents and Settings\_Louis_\Desktop\NewScript {91022}.avs.lino 4}

install avisynth 2.5...

[Hello]

Yeah I got that it's working now. One question, what is the best config for top reduction of noise and blocks?

[Hello]

If there's a guide for getting rid of blocks and noise with this, I'd like to read it. :)

[DoW]

There is no 'best' config for noise removal, it all depends on the quality of your source. Most people use a combination of Dust, Convolution3d, Deen, eDeen, PeachSmooth, etc. Its basically up to you to find the right combo for your source. Your gonna have to edit your script to include those, but its really easy. See Plugin Faq (http://www.avisynth.org/index.php?page=Section+3%3A+Filters%2C+plugins+and+colorspaces).

If the avi is an analog capture, you might want to read the capture guide.

[Hello]

AGH! These things are so hard to get right to remove all noise and blocking. How effective are one ones that are with SwiftAVS?
