hey all

i'm using the Doom9 tutorial to make an Xvid rip of my Pirates Of the Caribbean DVD...i have come to the point where i have made the .avs file and need to configure the codec and encode the video using Virtualdub. but when i load the .avs file with VDub i get this flippin error message:

AVISynth open failure:
Unrecognized exception!
(C:\DVD\Projects\PIRATESOFTHECARIBBEAN_VTS_01_PGC1_VTS_01_PGC1_VTS_01_PGC1\PIRATESOFTHECARIBBEAN_VTS_01_PGC1_VTS_01_PGC1.avs, Line 18)

so i went to the AVISynth site and found out what i thought was a solution, on their site it says

Q2.7: I get an unrecognized exception error trying to load an avs file with VirtualDub, using dvd2avi v1.77.3 ?

A: .d2v created with dvd2avi v1.77.3 is NOT compatible with mpeg2dec.dll! Use v1.76 instead. If you still want to use v1.77.3, make sure that you have AviSynth v2.5 installed and mpeg2dec3.dll v1.07 (or a more recent version).

so i unstalled the lastest version of GordianKnot and installed the the older versions which has dvd2avi v1.76. Then i started from scratch, i ripped the DVD again, went thro the tutorial and made the another .avs file but i still get the damn error.

What am i doing wrong?? please help!!...so if theres a simple solution to this please forgive me i'm just just beginner to all this Xvid buisness, so sorry people

thanx all

First thing I would do is change the path to c:\DVD\Projects\PIRATE~1\, might also help if you actually got rid of the spaces.

I would also recommend the followin versions of DVD2AVI and MPEG2Dec: http://www.neuron2.net/fixd2v/decodefix.html

Why is that line 18 though? Generally the source would be somewhere near the top. Also be carefull what plugins are in the plugins directory as some can cause problems when autoloaded.

here is the script up to Line 18, as you can see it has the plugins and such. do you think these plugins mpeg2dec.dll and decomb.dll be the cause of the problem?

i'll try DVD2AVI and MPEG2Dec and i'll rename the path and let you know what happens

cheers

I don't bother loading plugins, if it is in the plugins folder and I need it, it will autoload.

Definatly couldn't hurt to try a shorter path without spaces.

You might also want to check out AR Calculator to generate your AVISynth scripts. It can run an initial XviD pass, analyse the stats file and output an AVS with conditional filtering based on the info from the stats. Means an extra pass though.

'Tis dual language, English and Español, asks you which one you want when you install it.

Did you try the above versions of DVD2AVI/MPEG2Dec3? That is after you changed the path? Also check for any plugins that could be causing issues like avisynthc or warpsharp?
