i still consider myself a newbie with a little knowledge, but before i do something i like to ask others. i also am plauged with the damn avisynth execption errors when i use d2s. I have tried all the solutions to no aviel. could using link2 solve this? if i understand correctly link2 can be used as a replacement to avisynth. Correct me if i am wrong xnakx

What is d2s? What is your errors? What Avisynth version(s) have you tried? What other software versions do you have? How does your .avs file look?

sorry d2s = dvd2svcd unfortuanatilly (sp) i am at work and the computer i am having trouble with is at home. but it error i am gettin is something along the lines of "Avisynth caught an exception violation ... cannot read form (mem address's) versions avisynth= 1.07d I am sure that this will not give you enough info and i will post the avs when i get home thanks xnakx

cce 2.5sp I am using the mpeg2dec2.dll instead of mpeg2dec.dll

A shot would be to try AviSynth 2.05 instead, it contains a ton of bugfixes compared to 1.07d. Or try different mpeg-decoders (I know there are several different out-there).

will do thanks for your help does anyone have a recomendation for another decoder (i am assuming you mean an alternate to the mpeg2dec dll's)

I think most people are using dividee's, it's a long time since I've used one myself. anybody?

whats the right combo to maximize speed? 

1st of all, is there a speed gain using link2 if my version of CCE will read avs directly? 2nd, i see people claiming faster than real time speeds. I have tried both mpeg2dec2 and mpegdecoder dll's and the mpeg2dec2 i could get a speed up to .98 and mpegdecoder a speed of .97. I am running the basic script of load plugin and source. I also tried playing with the setmemorymax function...I ran both dll's at a setting of memorymax of 64. I dont know if this is a good or bad setting since i cant find any real info for this function. Is there an html on this funtion explaing what it does and what numbers are safe to use? All i could find on it after a search in the forum is some use it and some dont :confused: Also, i noticed CCE will run my scripts without any audio (resample or kill) in the script. Any help on this would be great! ps i have link2 v .095 and have avisynth 2.06 and the latest CCE 2.64 version think its .0110?
