2.5.4 crash cause: MaskTools149.dll

[mg262]

Just tried upgrading to 2.5.4, and I found out that having MaskTools149.dll in the plug-ins directory (actually, I'm not even sure why it was there) will cause vdubmod 1.5.10 to crash completely on opening (back to the desktop with no error message) &vdub/nandub to display a script open error with any script.

The problem is also caused if you try this sort of thing...

LoadPlugin("C:\Capture\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\old\LoadPluginEx2.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Capture\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\old\DustV5.dll")

Where those files aren't in place.

Could you instead try to upgrade to 2.55 & Masktools 1.5.1 ? The second one because it's better than 1.4.9, the first one because it allows two dll to have filters which have the same name ( in that case MotionMask, for MPEG2DEC and MaskTools ).

Edit : and for loadpluginex, a search on this forum will help you.

@Manao:

Thanks for your reply... I was already using 1.5.1; for some reason the older version was also in my plug-ins directory (which is what I was referring to when I said I didn't know why was there) and it was causing a crash in 2.54 and 2.55 (but not in 2.53)...

Since it took me quite a while to track down, I thought I'd write the post in case anyone else had the same problem. Masktools is working great!
