MPEG2Dec3 v0.9 for Avisynth 2.5

If a performance hit exists it has to be very minor, so much so that you won't notice. Before we started filtering the performance hit was coming from DebugView gobbling up lots of RAM, if you filter you shouldn't see this anymore.

AFAIK MarcFD already said he would give the user an option to disable the output in the next version.

I know something like this has come up before but I'm getting 'Unrecognised exception errors' with 0.94

All I have access to are progressive PAL sources and so far not a single one will work even for such a simple script as

LoadPlugin("C:\ANDY\GORDIA~2\mpeg2dec3.dll")

MPEG2Source("C:\andy\dvd ripping\test\series 1 - episode 2 - the new girl.d2v")

Make a very small VOB available for download that causes the problem. Use VOBSplitter if necessary. Then we can try to duplicate your issue.

Just for fun, try making your d2v and VOB files have no spaces in their names.

[Evil Andy]

Tried making the filenames 8.3 standard, still no joy.

Attaching a small vob.

[Evil Andy]

Ahem, attaching a small vob

Your VOB works just fine for me with mpeg2dec3_094, 1/10/03 Avisynth 2.5, DVD2AVI 1.76, and this script:

LoadPlugin("d:\avisynthplugins\mpeg2dec3_094.dll")
mpeg2source("ickle.d2v")

You must have a hosed-up installation or an unexpected DLL floating around that is being loaded.

Hello Neuron2,

Thanks for compiling mpeg2dec for avisynth 2.5. I did find another case which gives the looping problem with Marc's mpeg2dec3 (see the other thread in this forum). So I think the problem is not yet solved.
If you want, I can give you the clip in question.

[Guest]

The fact that a VOB fails for you and not for the rest of us suggests that there is a problem with your system. I'll try your new VOB if you like, but you oughtn't ignore this finding.

[cweb]

Hmm.. actually I don't use VOBs - I presume you are replying to Andy,
not me. My clip is a satellite dvb-s MPEG2 recording.

You're right. Sorry.

[Evil Andy]

This is most frustrating. Here's what I've done so far.

1.) Clean install of Win98

2.) Install both Gordian Knot 27 packs, rip and system.

3.) Unzip the latest avisynth 2.5 dll and place it in windows/system, overwriting the original dll placed there by Gordian Knot.

4.) Install the latest release of VirtualDubMod.

5.) Unzip the latest release of mpeg2dec3 (0.94) and put the 3 files in my Gordian Knot directory.

6.) Rip DVD using DVDDecrypter and get a project file with DVD2AVI 1.76 (doing no editing in DVD2AVI).

7.) Write out the above script exactly (well, apart from the filenames and paths).

8.) Attempt to load my avs in VDMod.

9.) Swear loudly as I get unrecognised exceptions.

What am I doing wrong? It must be something embarrassingly simple as no one else is having these problems.

What happens with the Avisynth 2.5 port of dividee's mpeg2dec that I posted on another thread?

an unexpected DLL floating around

Don't forget to search your entire drive for avisynth.dll and compare the results with your paths and the versions of the dll to make sure there is no conflict.

It's just a thought but you might also put the avisynth.dll inside of the Vdub folder.

[Evil Andy]

Your avisynth 2.5 port of mpeg2dec works fine and I know avisynth 2.5 is installed correctly because a simple version script works fine.

This script works

LoadPlugin("C:\test\MPEG2DEC_avisynth25.dll")
#LoadPlugin("C:\test\MPEG2Dec3.dll")

mpeg2source("C:\test\test.d2v")

crop(10,9,701,557)

BicubicResize(544,304,0,0.5)

This script doesn't

#LoadPlugin("C:\test\MPEG2DEC_avisynth25.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\test\MPEG2Dec3.dll")

mpeg2source("C:\test\test.d2v")

crop(10,9,701,557)

BicubicResize(544,304,0,0.5)

[Evil Andy]

And no joy putting avisynth.dll in my vdub folder either.

I'm stumped

[MaTTeR]

One last thing, make sure your always cropping and resizing using even numbers.

[Evil Andy]

Whoops, that was sloppy of me, but that's not the problem either as


LoadPlugin("C:\test\MPEG2Dec3.dll")

mpeg2source("C:\test\test.d2v")


Still throws up an exception.

That last script, however, does load up in vdubmod. The exception comes when i try any of the seek or preview buttons. A check under file info shows it is recognising the source as YV12 and is using DivX 5.02 as the decoder.

Some versions of DVD2AVI get bundled with a DVD2AVI.ini file from a machine of different processor type. For instance you don't want to have one saying IDCT=4 if you aren't running on a P4. (use 2 for mmx)

You might just try deleting your DVD2AVI.ini file and remaking the .d2v with the defaults, using DVD2AVI 1.76.

[Evil Andy]

still a no go.
