Req: help with PAL > NTSC script (incl)

[Spazmogen]

LoadPlugin("mpeg2dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("SmoothDeinterlacer.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\Working_Vobs\Asian_Babes\ASIAN_BABES_5\vts_02_1.d2v")
#BilinearResize(448,254,1,0,638,272)
#AddBorders(16,113,16,113)
AssumeFPS(23.976)

is what I'm trying to use.

TMPGEnc is telling me there's an error in line 3: mpeg2source("C:\Working_Vobs\Asian_Babes\ASIAN_BABES_5\vts_02_1.d2v")

Can anyone advise me where the problem lies?

I did 2 searches here for PAL > NTSC conversions, but none seem to address troubles loading the .d2v file.

With the http://www.avisynth.org site hacked earlier today, I can't use that resource until its back online.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried remaking the d2v? What are you using to make the d2v?

MPEG2Dec can not properly decode d2v's made with DVD2AVIdg or DGIndex, or any d2v made with anything later than DVD2AVI 1.76, IIRC (I haven't used mpeg2dec for loading d2v's in ages). You would have to use the respective decoders included with those packages to load the d2v.

I tried using both DVD2AVI (version 1.76) & DGIndex (Version 1.0.12).

Same problem is going on.


Is my problem with the syntax in line 3?

I'm following a guide I found online.

Basically, I rip the PAL DVD (Smart Ripper). Run DVD2AVI or DGIndex to make the .d2v file. (I've found the .d2v file that Smart Ripper creates is flawed.)

Then make the .avs script. open the .avs in TMPGEnc to re-encode it to MPEG 2.

I made one last night (just using TMPGEnc), PAL > NTSC (29.97fps) and it's watchable, but has a noticeable stutter to it. A/V sync was fine. I used TMPGEnc to mux the .ac3 back into the .mpg video.

DVD authoring was done by Nero Vision Express.

If you use DGIndex to make the D2V, you have to use DGDecode.dll instead of mpeg2dec.dll.

Thanks, I believe that's got it.

Now LoadPlugin("SmoothDeinterlacer.dll") is showing as not a valid AVSynth 2.x plug in, but that's easily removed.

Thanks again.
