Avisynth violation...what does this mean?

Active8

I posted earlier regarding DVD2SVCD outputting a 534 meg video file when I asked for 4400 while doing an xvid film to DVD.

I've just have a look at the encoded 534 meg video file and found this....
"avisynth: caught an access violation at xxxxxxxx
attempting to write to xxxxxxx"

I'm using avisynth v2.5 in DVD2SVCD. The actual xvid film plays fine right the way through....HELP

TIA

Could be about anything, especially when avisynth is bundled like that its almost impossible to determine what's causing it.

Typical error when there is a problem with the AVI, even though it appears to p-lay okay.

Load the avi into VDub or Nandub (if you get an audio error when loaded), set Video & Audio to Direct Stream Copy and then Save AVI. This just basically re-muxes the Video & Audio and can "clean up" an AVI simply. Then try encoding that again. If still a problem, set Video & Audio to Full Processing Mode, for Video compression set to Xvid at a bitrate a bit bigger than the original, then Save AVI. Can take an hour to reencode.

I assume you have tried DivFix and DivXRepair on a copy of the AVI already ?

The only time I've managed to crash avisynth is certain combinations of filters (plugins) otherwise it runs along fine and if you want to re-encode (mask bad frames should be enough though) try a lossless format instead of a lossy one that degrades quality even more.
