Either the path to the DLL is wrong or it's not actually a C plug-in (but a regular C++ plug-in). Or your are trying to load a 64-Bit plug-in from 32-Bit Avisynth (or vice versa).

Since I am trying to use your software can you make sense of this?

Can you try this way?
Remove your FFMS2 plugin and unpack this one into your Avisynth plugin folder, both files http://megui.org/auto/ffms2-r683.7z
Use this script:

Load_Stdcall_Plugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\yadif.dll")
a = FFAudioSource("post.ts")
v = FFVideoSource("post.ts")
AudioDub(v,a)

P.S. You may need Haali Media Splitter to properly open TS file.

Just installed avisynth 2.5.8 same issue

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Looks like Avisynth (or more likely one of the plug-ins involved) has crashed.

Do you use the "stable" Avisynth 2.5? If not, I would suggest trying with that one first:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/avis...Synth%202.5.8/

Furthermore you should clean up your Avisynth plug-ins directory. I encountered strange crashes with "buggy" plug-in DLL's, even when that plug-in wasn't even used in the script.

Also you may want to kick out Yadif for now (you can re-add it later). Last but not least you may want to try the last official FFMS2 release from here.

Thank you. That did the trick. Sadly that even with the presets I still only get 16-18fps while encoding video

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Using the Preset system does not speed-up things per se!

The x264 presets simply provide a very convenient and foolproof way to tweak the "speed -vs- quality" trade-off. If your goal is to squish out more speed, you have to switch from your current preset to a faster one.

If switching, e.g., from "slower" to "faster" preset doesn't give a significant speed-up, you are very likely bottlenecked by slow input. As mentioned earlier, you can benchmark your AVS script with AVSMeter...

(You certainly won't be able to encode any faster than what AVSMeter reports for your input script, even with the "ultrafast" preset)

Is their any ways to fix bottle necking? 16-18fps takes forever.

Here is my current set up if you have any ideas for me to try.

I use a HD PVR and it records 1920 x 1080 at 13.5mbps. It records to a .ts file that I then edit in videoredo. Then I encode that edited file with x264. Any other details that might help?

Several options (not mutually exclusive):
- Get a faster CPU/MB
- Use DGDecodeNV to offload decoding and de-interlacing
- Use a faster de-interlacer

I don't have a nvidia card. How might I use a faster deinterlacer?

[Groucho2004]

I thought yadif is pretty fast so I don't really know what to recommend that is faster and doesn't suck. Search the forum.

Whenever I need to de-interlace I use QTGMC which is in a completely different league in terms of quality. But it's also quite slow. It does have fast modes but I don't know how those compare to yadif.

[wcwman18]

Here is my current PC if anyone can look at the specs and recommend anything. Maybe Avisynth MT?

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...odTypeId=12454

[AnonCrow]

Crazy idea: Don't deinterlace, remove those lines from the avisynth script, add the necessary option to your x264 commandline to encode as interlaced, then see what kind of speeds and CPU usage you get. Deinterlace during playback if necessary.

Or get a ~30-70 € Nvidia card (about the same speed or slightly faster than your current Radeon that it would replace)

Can't deinterlace during playback. I stream this files in my flash media player.

QTGMC and Avisynth MT are probably worth a try, considering that you have 6 CPU cores to play with.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Yadif probably is the fastest (software) deinterlacer you want to use.

Even faster would be a simple "Bob()" or a "SeparateFields().SelectEven()" followed by a resize, but result won't be nice.

I second the suggestion to get a cheap NVidia card plus DGDecodeNV and use hardware deinterlacing...

[wcwman18]

Is their a faster way since my files capture in h264 that I can make AAC 192 audio and mp4 x264 without the long encode?
