CCE 2.50 + AViSynth2.07 crashing under Win XP when adding .avs script

[c0d3m0nk3y]

I am running CCE SP 2.50 with AVISynth2.07 and mpeg2dec.dll installed in the plugins directory of AVISynth.

My machine is a Win XP, Epox 8RDA+, 1Gb TwinMOS RAM, XP2700+.

Basically, this setup transcoded movies just great when running Win2K but now seems not to work any longer.

I am following the basic Robshot method to 'get the best out of CCE' using the .avs file to loadplugin, mpeg2source and resampleaudio.

Does anyone know why this could be screwing up? I have tried installing CCE SP, AVISynth and mpeg2dec on my Inspiron laptop with the same results :-?

It's really doing my head in :(

Cheers.

Read the CCE FAQ in the forum, Q14.1.

I already checked that - as I said in my post I am using the sample .avs from the CCE guide to loadplugin, mpeg2source and resampleaudio but to no avail. :(

LoadPlugin("D:\Program Files\AVISynth2\plugins\MPEG2DEC.DLL")
mpeg2source("D:\SRC\movie.d2v")
ResampleAudio(44100)

This script was working 100% previously on my Win2000 setup so I wondered if there is some problem running these versions on WinXP that I have not considered?

Thanks.

You say that mpeg2dec.dll is already in the AVISynth plugin directory, hence the LoadPlugin for mpeg2dec.dll is not necessary. Remove that line and try again.

I have upgraded to version 2.08 of AVISynth2 and CCE is still crashing.

However, I have verified that AVISynth is functioning correctly because the version.avs script loads just fine in Media Player 9.

Also, my script to load the plugin, d2v and resampleaudio loads just fine into Media Player also....

Any further suggestions would be really helpful.

****UPDATE**** Please ignore my ignorance - it has been a long day. By switching to 2.08 and using the AddAudio() function file I have now successfully loaded the script into CCE SP 2.50 ;)

Did you try AviSynth 2.5-? Maybe try the lite version of FFVFW that creates AVIs out of .avs files. You can get it here: http://cultact-server.novi.dk/kpo/avisynth/avs_cvs.html.
Also try adding this line before the resample audio line:
ConverttoYUY2(). I do believe CCE 2.5 only supports RGB and YUY2 colorspace, and if you are encoding a DVD, it is in YV12. I know this is the case for 2.6- versions. You may have had some codec on your old Windows 2000 load, that was able to pass through CCE and read the YV12 colorspace info. This is the case I found after installing DivX 5.05 on my PC. CCE no longer needed the ConverttoYUY2() line, but as soon as I uninstalled and removed DivX 5.05, CCE needed that line again.
