Encoder exits in the middle of encoding

[numlock]

I have the follwoiing problem

I have an AVI file that I open through an AVS script in MainConcepet Mpeg Encoder.

Problem is the encoder just exits in the middle od encoding with no error message or anything.

I also tried ProCoder and the same thing happens.

Any idea of what might be going on here ?

You don't have a Trim(x,y) statement in the AVS file, do you ?

Run AVIMaster on the file and try to encode with the fixed AVI

yes I do have a Trim(x,y) statement in the AVS file

Why would that be a problem ?

[numlock]

OK, I removed the Trim statement and the problem didn't go away.

I also tried CCE and the same thing happens

I guess you run the MPEG2 encoders in 2-pass Mode - try with "1-pass Mode" just for tracking the bug

[numlock]

OK, I tried 1-pass encoding and the same thing happend with both CCE and MainConcept Encoder. I susprect the same thing would happen with any otehr encoder.

Hi!

Have you played the .AVI file, to determine if it's flawed?

[numlock]

yes the AVI file is fine. As a matter of fact if I open the same script in VDub and save it as AVI it works fine.

[numlock]

ok, i just did a little bit more testing and I would also experience WDub exiting a couple of times the same way
the encoder did.

Also after many trials I was finally able to encode the whole file.

The same AVS script and the same file. So this very strange.

Some unstable filter in your script is probably triggering an exception. On XP SP2, with older versions of avisynth (anything before 2.5.7) the exceptions trigger an SP2 bug that kills the program instead of handing over the error.

If you post your script, we can probably help narrow it down so it doesn't happen in the future. Or just upgrade to 2.5.7 and it'll pop up like it should.

Re: posting the script, are You opening with Avisource, directshowsource, or...... ? and tried the different ways of opening.
Together with.... And do you have the latest 'most stable/recommended' version of whatever codec decompression you require for this .Avi ? and then, if having upgraded your directshow filters of the codec, tried directshowsource again in your script.
? Just the first few things You could try if You haven't already.. :)
