MPEG2Dec3 v0.9 for Avisynth 2.5 - Page 7

Guest · 12th January 2003, 04:44

Redownload the mpeg2dec3. Maybe it got corrupted.

Evil Andy · 13th January 2003, 16:55

Sigh, still a no go. Perhaps I'll try compiling the source for myself and see how that works out.

I had exactly the same problem.
"Unrecognized Exception!"
I tryed almost everything:
- Recompiling MPEG2dec3
- Changing the IDCT under DVD2Avi
- Changing from Avisynth 2.5 with MPEG2dec3 0.94 to Avisynth 2.07 with MPEG2dec3 Beta6
- Installing AVS with VdubMod and xvid codec on another PC which didn't have anything before
- other things i don't remember

BUT, i tryed too to simply go back from DVD2AVI 1.77.3 to 1.76
and it works.

In fact, i don't have to use DVD2AVI 1.76 to make the thing work perfectly. I just open the D2V file and delete the bracket, then change Luminance_Filter=0,0 to Luminance=0,0 and all is ok

But if you use DVD2AVI 1.76 to create the d2v, then your problem still remains weird...

@blue

If Andy is smart enough to use Gordian Knot, then he is using DVD2AVI 1.76. Gordian Knot only uses well tested, compatible versions of the software.

I'm using the DVD2AVI that came bundled with Gordian Knot ie 1.76

Latest thinking is that it's maybe a problem with Avisynth 2.5 after all as I've found that Convolution3d produces the same error.

I'll go through a plug in spree to find what others give me the same error.

@EA: Have you tried searching through you entire HD for avisynth.dll to be sure that there isn't another version lying around somewhere?

Evil Andy · 16th January 2003, 16:36

Yep, just the one copy in Windows/System

A quick 'Version' script confirms it as 2.5

Some 2.5 plugins are working for me (e.g. the recompiled mpeg2dec) and some aren't (e.g. mpeg2dec3 & convolution3d)

@evilandy

sorry if this sounds stupid, but, have updated your system with recent drivers (for chipset etc.), directx version and all the nice things you can get from windowsupdate.microsoft.com?

is avisynth 2.0x working for you?

how about uninstalling divx and using xvid for yv12 decoding?

that's all i can think of atm

Ah Ha! mpeg2dec.dll was recompiled for AviSynth 2.5 without added YV12 capability. If I am right, mpeg2dec3 would work it you converted to YUY2 in your script.

Evil Andy · 30th January 2003, 11:14

Well I don't know what changes were made to avisynth or mpeg2dec3 for the beta release but everything's working fine now. Thanks to all developers and people who tried to help me with my problems.

Hi - Can someone please tell me where to download the latest version? Mr. Marc FD has changed his sig so I don't know where to get it.

Thanks,

Paul

I got broken image (like stripe) with the following AVS file.

---
LoadPlugin("mpeg2dec3.dll")
Mpeg2Source("dvd.d2v")
crop(8,0,704,480)
YV12toYUY2(interlaced=true) or YV12toYUY2()
---

The source is interlaced anime(NTSC 30fps).
When I delete crop(), everything seems to be perfect.

---
[Encoding Environment]
Mpeg2Dec3 1.00
Avisuynth 2.5 (latest beta)
VirtualDubMOD 1.4.13.1
(Pentium 3)
---

ryangs · 15th March 2003, 03:41

I can't open my MPEG2 file at all--it tells me that it "couldn't open file." It's odd, because Nic's mpegdecoder has no trouble dealing with it. I'd just use that but I'd like to try MPEG2Dec3's postprocessing. It's a 480x480 MPEG2 SVCD source... any ideas?

Marc FD · 16th March 2003, 20:17

"couldn't open file" mean that the input path is wrong

I've double and triple-checked the path--I know it's correct. If I hadn't typed the path right, Nic's wouldn't open it, either.

Marc FD · 16th March 2003, 21:31

"couldn't open file" ?
okay it wasn't env->ThrowError("MPEG2Source : unable to load file \"%s\" ",path);

so it's an internal error.
it should NEVER appear !!

try to make a small cut of you mpeg2 (about 5 mo) and upload where i can leech it, i'll take a look in my freetime (nothing granted)

i think it's due to the unhabitual format. (remeber dev are often the ones who use the less their own tools ^^)

I'm not sure if this question can really be answered, but about how much difference in quality should you expect using idct=5 (32bit SSE2) with MPEG2Dec3 versus, say, using the 64bit FPU mode (or the 64bit IEEE reference mode)? Would any differences be dependent on the source?

Also, wouldn't there be a way to do the algorithm with 64bit SSE2? I can understand if it's just that nobody wants to code that right now, but I'm just curious since I thought I remembered there being both 32bit and 64bit versions of all of the SSE2 instructions.

ryangs · 5th April 2003, 18:19

Marc FD:

I tried two other MPEG2 files, and neither worked. One is another SVCD encoded file, the other is DVD encoded. The problem must be with my system somehow. Could the MPEG2 filters from some programs I installed (like WinDVD or PowerDVD) be interfering with MPEG2Dec3? I'm running WinXP Pro SP1 with Avisynth 2.5.1 beta and VirtualDub 1.5.1.
