    What do you get when you play a file from the D2VAVS folder? And, is this your first movie, or the first one that didn't work?

    Doc409,

    It looks like it is going to be one of those days.

    Doc409,
    This is my first movie (tried two, none worked), up until now I've used DVD-Shrink and was very satisfied with the results, as I always kept the main movie compression above 85%

    But on the longer ones with the extras...

    Anyway, when I play one of the .m2v files in the D2VAVS I get the same black screen with red lines...

    I hoped it was something more ppl have encountered

    It seems this red line problem has come up on this thread before, but I don't have time now to go back and look for the fix.

    What you are getting could be an AviSynth problem. What version are you using? 2.5.4 is the one that is recommended.

    What version of AviSynth do you have? If you're not sure, use Notepad to make a file called Version.AVS The only line in the file should be:

    Version()

    Open that file in a media player and it will tell you what version of AviSynth you have. If it's not 2.54 or 2.55 you need to download one of those versions. If it is one of those, just uninstall and reinstall it.

    Edit: You're too fast for me Doc ;)

    The mess on the bottom of the black background is actually an error message being generated by AVISYNTH. If you open the .AVS file directly with Windows Media Player you'll be able to read it. It will tell you the line number of the error in the .AVS file.

    Most of the time it tells you that MPEG2DEC3DG.DLL isn't installed properly...

    jdobbs...what's the location of the .AVS file you're talking about?

    Also, this is from rpor's INI file. Is it possible that the MPEG2Dec3dg.dll is corrupt?

    MPEG2DEC=C:\Program Files\DVD Rebuilder\MPEG2Dec3dg.dll

    vurbal...faster, yes, but your responses always seem to expalin things better. :)

    rpor,

    One simple way to find out your version information is use DVD-RB. I think this was put into DVD-RB in the 0.6X versions.

    HELP --> DISPLAY VERSIONS.

    You may copy this output and post it.

    The AVS file is in the D2VAVS directory that is located in the working path. There will be a lot of them... but if you are getting an error it is almost always global, so you can open any one.

    hey all, thanks for all the replies

    I would never have thought to open the AVS files in a media player, but indeed this is what I see when I do:

    [​IMG]

    Strangely enough, when I open the Version.AVS I created in a media player it says version 2.53, but DVD-RB's versions shows 2.52:
    - Versions:
    -- CCE SP Version: v2.67.0.27
    -- MPEG2DEC3 Version: v1.0.1.0
    -- AVISYNTH Version: v2.5.2.0

    So I will first try to get a newer version (I hope there's no problem with MPEG2DEC3)

    Will keep you guys posted, thanks!

    Make sure you check the "Add to AVS" checkbox in the setup dialog. What seems to be happening is that you have two copies of MPEG2DEC, one in your AVISYNTH plug-in directory and another that you've pointed too in DVD-RB. When you don't click the checkbox, the version in the plug-in directory gets used as the default.

    jdobbs, thanks this fixed it!
    I checked the [bold]Add To AVS[/bold] box next to the dll option, and its path was added to the avs.
    Now when I open an AVS from the D2VAVS dir in mplayer it gets fed with the correct movie.

    Thanks all, didn't think I'd solve this prob so fast

    I'll leave DVD-RB to do its business for a few hours...;-)

    Good one jdobbs, and the rest,lol. Of course in vurbal's guide it clearly states to check that box "add to avs".

    rpor, another mystery solved, I've never even seen those red lines, much less knew they were actually an error message. ;>)

    It seems as though every problem reported in tht last week was caused by an incorrect avisynth problem. I know that Vurbal included the correct avisynth version in his guide so that tells me that some folks aren't reading it or reading it closely.

    Just wanted to say thanks again to all you DVD-RB gurus
    I got excellent backup quality!

    Just saw the version/checkbox setup in Vurbal's guide, it's all there of course...;-)
    I had read before some other guide, and either it hadn't said so there, or I hadn't paid attention,

    But hey! At least some of us learned what those red markings are...LOL

    Schaff1945,
    In CCE advanced options adjust quality_prec to 20 or higher to modify the encode toward smooth. This assumes you are using cce basic 2.69

    One advantage I have in having done this for so long is that there is almost no error condition I haven't had to fix at one time or another.

    Trial Versions have been the bane of RB/CCE problem solving. When we started this thread it was thought that we'd eventually archive all possible RB/CCE problems but now I'm not sure that's possible.

    At this point I agree soph, this thread alone dealing with all the trial errors is enough to give anyone senior member status here in aD,lol. ;>)
