Why didn't I think of that?! This is what MPC-BE returns (absolutely no WMP on my computer!):
Code:
I don't know what "ruturn" means
(jdl-util.avsi, line 492)
(C:\Program Files\Media\AVStoDVD\Lib\A2DInfo.avsi, line 11)
(D:\Trouwerij\AVSInfo.avs, line 2)
Wtf?! jdl-util.avsi resides in Avisynth's plugin-dir, and yes, it seems it has a typo at line 492, but although I can't see anything fishy going on in A2DInfo.avsi, does it scan my entire Avisynth's plugin-dir for syntax errors or something?

After correcting the typo in jdl-util.avsi:
Code:
AVS2AVI v1.39 (c) 2002-2004:
Christophe Paris, David Leatherdale, int21h, Moitah
http://www.avs2avi.org/

Source:
  * Filename: "D:\Geele Bosch\Trouwerij\AVSInfo.avs"
  * FourCC: YV12
  * Frames: 250
  * Resolution: 1920x1080
  * Frame rate: 2.841 FPS
Compressor:
  * No Recompression
Destination:
  * Format: Null
  * Pass 1/1: Finished in 00:00:37.103 (6.74 FPS)
  * Frames: 250 (250 keyframes)
  * Size: 741.58 MB
...and AVStoDVD can open the script as well.

@ cweb: Running Avisynth 2.6.0 Alpha 4 [130114] I encoded the wedding shots with HCenc (2-pass) without any problems.

Another option would be AVSMeter, as its output is roughly similar to avs2avi's. Example:
Code:
AVSMeter 1.5.2 by Groucho2004
AviSynth 2.60, build:May 16 2012 [03:31:34]
Active MT Mode: 0

Number of frames:                  6681

Frame width:                        720
Frame height:                       480
Framerate:                       25.000 (25000/1000)
Colorspace:                        YV12

Frames processed:                28 (0 - 27)
FPS (min | max | average):       4.96 | 10.42 | 6.43
CPU usage (average):             93%
Thread count:                    1
Physical Memory usage (peak):    95 MB
Virtual Memory usage (peak):     103 MB
Time (elapsed):                  000:00:04.357
Using post-March 21st builds of FFmpeg has one glaring caveat concerning AviSynth: 2.5.8 doesn't like it one bit, and any source loading filter causes 2.5.8 to crash with the new demuxer. 2.6 and AvxSynth (the latter has no bearing on AVStoDVD) have no problems with it. This would also include the upcoming release of FFmpeg 1.3, unless the 2.5.8 issue either gets fixed in the interim or it's something further down inside of FFmpeg (or libavformat) that requires some other change to cope with it.

A way of getting around this I guess would be to query AviSynth, and if 2.5.7 or 2.5.8 is detected, fall back to an older version of FFmpeg that uses the old demuxer (point release 1.2.1 would be a good candidate, IMO). Either that or use it as an excuse to make people upgrade to 2.6, but that's mean and a little lopsided since x264 uses the same type of dynamic loading method that FFmpeg is now using, and it has no problems with 2.5.8.

thanks for pointing to AVSMeter and for the info on recent FFmpeg builds. Luckily (my laziness...) the FFmpeg package currently shipped with AVStoDVD is dated Nov 2012, prior release 1.1.

Mr C.
I had to do a fresh install of windows 7 64bit ultimate. Now, when I try to use AVStoDVD 2.7.0, HCenc just sits there and does nothing for about 15 seconds, then it says its not responding. I have tried the latest versions of ffdshow and haali splitter. I even uninstalled them and AVStoDVD, rebooted, then used everything from your package, and HCenc is still hanging and not responding. I cannot for the life of me fathom out what has gone wrong? Is there a config file or something I can upload that you can look at to see if there is any conflicting software? I have not installed new from what I was using 2 days ago when AVStoDVD was working great.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards...

***EDIT***
Sorted, forgot to run "Win7DSFilterTweaker". All is good now

Any news on this?
FYI I just did a conversion using a slightly edited AviSynth script, and this edited script was in fact used for the conversion (according to the log file). So I guess this feature is at least partly working in version 2.7.0

Sorry, I spoke too soon, the current 2.7.1 alpha does not fix the issue...

The general log file for the conversion tells me that the edited AviSynth script was used, but the individual .avs files show that this is not true.

Going back to 2.6.0 for the moment...

Really this tragic? Are you talking just about the weather or the general political situation or the fact that all of us are spied upon by the Americans and the British?

Whatever, no need to get too depressed. The new hotfix works beautifully, the edited AviSynth script is now really executed...


Thanks a lot,

Cheers

It was a mention to a 90's dance song "The summer is magic".

BTW, for some personal reasons, this is a really tough period: I would deserve more time to AVStoDVD, but recently I just can give some support on the forums.

Run-time error '383'

An interesting issue I came across recently.

The Short Story:
Problem: Portable (NoInstall) will not start.
Symptom: "Run-time error '383' 'Text' property is read-only"
Solution: install A2D (of the same version that matches the portable version and then the portable version will run).

AviSynth versions:
  1. AviSynth 2.5.8 then...
  2. AviSynth 2.6.0 Alpha4 [Jan 14th, 2013] (IanB)
  3. Avisynth 2.6 MT [2013.03.09] (SEt)

FFDshow version:
K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 9.9.5 [ffdshow 1.3.4513]

User Accounts:
One only, me, the Administrator (so no need to run with elevated privileges).

The LONG Story:

I had to reformat, reinstall my Windows XP machine (x86, SP3) but after doing the long-winded MS updates and getting around to reinstalling all my programs...

I went to setup the NoInstall (portable) version of AVStoDVD 2.7.0 (stable).
I've never really installed it before. I've always used the portable version and updated some of the libraries manually.
Normally, updating libraries (ffmpeg, etc) didn't cause any compatibility issues with using A2D.

But for the longest time, I've been getting a "Run-time error '383' 'Text' property is read-only" error.
I've seen several in this forum and in the comment section on the VideoHelp mirrored page commenting on the same issue.
I know it doesn't offer much in itself as to what the problem is.

Extensive google searches shows it has something to do with one of the dialogue/pop-up boxes in VB6.
I do have the VB6 control placed and registered. I even unregistered and reregistered it.

I saw one search result where you suggested to delete the registry and let itself recreate the registry key for the '383' error.
I've checked the registry for any AVStoDVD keys and made sure to delete them and let A2D rewrite them.
I did registry cleaning/defragging and deleted the manually updated components went back to the original NoInstall archive.

I tried using older portable versions: 2.6.0, 2.5.0.

I also tried to right-click on the portable program and try with different "compatibility" settings.
Nothing.

I also tried to right-click on the portable program and try running the program with different privilege settings.
"Run as..." > Current User > [no] Protect my computer...
Nothing.
"Run as..." > Current User > [yes] Protect my computer...
The splash screen showed up and then nothing.
The task manager showed the program was running at nearly 95% CPU usage.
I had to terminate the process forcibly.

I couldn't get anything to work.

Until!

Finally, I decided, as a last resort, to run the installer for A2D with the latest stable version that matches the latest stable portable version.
All extra installations were left blank due the components already being installed.
However, just for safe measure, I checked the VB6 control to make an "official" install of the VB6 control.

Success!

After installation, I was able to start the program and finally see the opening quick selection!
I then went into the installed program and set up all the program settings to my preference and then closed it.
I ran the portable version and it ran successfully as well!

I have no idea if uninstalling A2D will affect the portable version or not.
I'll test that after I convert some movies.
I guess the portable version wouldn't write anything to the registry?

I thought I might post this in case others with the same 383 error might get a better idea of how to go about troubleshooting their own problem.
I have no idea if it's exclusive to only portable versions or if having it previously installed has any effect.

That's all the information I can provide, too.
I don't have any debuggers or diagnostic utilities to help narrow down the cause for the 383 error.


Hope that helps and hope you're doing well.

Since I lost the usability of the front-end to A2D, I've been toying with HCenc using the .ini and some avs scripts.
'Twas a fun learning experience, lol.

On a side note, there was a few instances where I noticed the visual quality had dropped significantly and something happened between the first pass and the final encoding pass.
I'm not sure what it was, nor do I remember how my scripting was back then.
But I remember doing some 10 minute tests and used the *LOSSLESS switch in the manual HCenc encoding.
Quality was retained from the initial pass to the encoding pass.

Though, I imagine my scripting back then was very amateurish which resulted in the quality loss between the two passes.

Although, the lossless switch does take up a lot of GB in file size (not for everyone), but...

Request:
Can we get the option to use the *LOSSLESS switch in HCenc?
Maybe an option to set the lossless path as well?

Thanks, again for everything you've put into this bundle.

@Spartank

thanks for the detailed report!

the "Run-time error '383' 'Text' property is read-only" VB6 message happens when the program is trying to set an invalid value to a control, i.e. a ComboBox or a TabStrip or an ItemList.

During startup AVStoDVD looks if there is the HKCU/Software/AVStoDVD registry key and try to load the preferences values written in that key.

If in the AVStoDVD registry key are stored invalid values (because of user tweaking them or due to old version preferences values no more supported), then the error msg pop out.

That's why, in case of those errors, I usually suggest to uninstall the previous versions using the uninstaller or by manually delete the reg key if the portable version is used. Moreover there is the 'Options'/'Restore Default Preferences' command that roughly delete the reg key.

About the *LOSSLESS command in HCenc, do you know that you can easily add it the the HCenc ini script by activating the 'Edit Command Parameters at runtime' option?

Mr. C or anyone else.
Does Cinema Craft Encoder work with this tool? I did search the thread for cinema craft encoder but got only 2 references, and no answer as to whether it does or not.

You actually have to search using quotes for "CCE" (as it is less than four letters).

But it was no longer supported since version 1.2.0.

Trying to convert to DVD9 dual-layer and keep getting this error in ImgBurn.

It happens every time I try and do a dual-layer disc, DVD5s are fine! Am I missing an option here to set the layer break in AVStoDVD?
