I am not sure hw to preview videos. You mentioned avspmod, however, that does work for me, it gives me an error saying that masktools2.dll is not an avisynth 2.5 plugin, as I use the avisynth that is included with megui normally.
Make sure you do the 1x test first. That's your baseline to compare to. Re-encode the video using the same settings, not interpolated. Don't compare to the original video file size. A low CRF can make the original video much larger too.

You need to fix your avisynth plugins and versions. Welcome to "dll hell", everyone goes through it.

Another way to compare is to use vdub2 . Or many media players can open avs scripts and go frame by frame.
