Avisynth open failure

[marco75]

I'm not sure this is the right forum for this question, but it is related to Avisynth.

I'm using Windows XP Pro SP1 patched with latest fixes and drivers.
I have installed the following:

Gordian Knot Rip Pack 0.28.5
Gordian Knot Codec Pack 1.4
Avisynth 2.08

When I load a .d2v in Gordian Knot, and then Save and Encode and go ahead with the queue, it aborts with the following dialog box:

VirtualDub Error

Avisynth open failure:
LoadPlugin: "mpeg2dec3.dll" is not an Avisynth 1.0 plugin
(X:\filename.avs, line 8)

Which plugin or avisynth.dll should I be using? I installed Avisynth 2.08 because Gordian Knot produced an error before, being unable to find avisynth plugins. I have tried different plugins, deleting \windows\system32\avisynth.dll, but without success.

Any ideas?

Alternatively, how can I uninstall Gordian Knot and its apps cleanly? (so I can start over)

Thanks for reading.

The mpeg2dec3 you have is for AviSynth v2.5. You need to install the one for AviSynth v2.0x. You can get it here:

I am having the same problem it seems.

I am running WinXP Pro all patched.
I am running all versions of programs and codecs listed for Gordian Knot rippack 0.28.7 and Gordian Knot Codec Pack 1.6

When I open a .d2v file in GK and click on Save & Encode and run a compressibility check it gives the following error:
---
Avisynth open failure:
LoadPlugin: "C:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\mpeg2dec3.dll" is not an Avisynth 1.0 plugin
(C:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\LastCompCheck.avs, line 7)
---

I was using whatever mpeg2dec3 that came with the 0.28.7 rippack however I also tried the mpeg2dec3 plugin for Avisynth 2.0 located at:
http://www.avisynth.org/warpenterprises/files/mpeg2dec3_20_dll_20021013.zip

and it also gives the same error... please let me know if their is any further information that would be needed to help me figure this out. I am going to keep looking into this and will post an update if I find a fix.

Thanks.

Ugh. I'm not exactly surewhat message AviSynth gives if you try to load a plugin of the wrong version, but I guess that if what you've got installed were a recent version of it it should probably say something more along the lines of "not an AviSynth 2.x" plugin.

Create a file named, say, "version.avs" with notepad with the following content:


version()


and open that in VirtualDub or a media player - it should display the version of AviSynth you've got installed.

And if that isn't at least version 2.50 or later, go to http://www.avisynth.org/ and get a newer version to install.

Thank you! I found I was running AviSynth 2.0.*

I upgraded to the current 2.5.3 and it is working!

Thank you again!
