Avisynth 2.52 and CCE 2.66 on XP Pro.. ??

[jbenj01]

I just installed XP Pro and now Aviynth 2.52 scripts won't work in CCE..? I'm backing up Reloaded the error I keep getting is:

'There is no function named mpeg2source, line 1". This is the basic script:

mpeg2source("D:\MATRIX_RELOADED_DISC_1\files\reloaded.d2v")
lanczosresize(720,480)
assumefps(23.976, true)

I treid re-installing Avisynth2.52, w/o success.. I made sure the the mpeg2dec.dll and mpge2dec3.dll plugins were installed in both Avisynth Plugin folder AND XP's system32 folder..

Please advise. Thanks.

Note: Before I swapped Win2k for WinXP Pro, I COPIED my "video tools" folder (that contained ALL my video apps, including Avisynth, CCE) onto my data drive; after XP install, I copied the video tools folder back onto my drive that I installed XP on..).. Was that a mistake??

Ok, you reinstalled AviSynth. What does the script

Version()

do in WMP6.4?

I had the same issue. It will not automatically load the plugin from the C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins folder. You have to manually tell Avisynth where the file is by using the LoadPlugin command. I copied the file to another folder. On my PC:
Loadplugin("C:\Encoding\Plugins\mpeg2dec3.dll")
It may work this way though:
Loadplugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\mpeg2dec3.dll")

Hi Wilbert, yes, I did do that upon re-install and WMP came up with Avisynth v2.52 (and mentioned Mr. Gould's name, etc..).

Digitalman, I will try your suggestion when I get home tonite--I'm sorry I didn't think to manually point to where the codec()s were...

FYI.. After re-installing, I did go to the below site and made sure I installed Avisynth 2.52 the NEW plugin package for Avisynth 2.5_ (at bottom of link):

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57023

If I manually point to where the plugins are, do I still have to copy the .dll files into XP Pro's system32 folder?? Or simply unzip into Avisynth's Plugin folder??

Thanks.

No. You can put them anywhere if you manually load them in your script. Otherwise you have to put them in AviSynth's autoplugin dir.

Or simply unzip into Avisynth's Plugin folder ??
Yes.
