convolution3d doesn't apply - why?

hi, i am trying to set up convolution3d in avisynth with the following script: LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\mpeg2dec3.dll") LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\Convolution3D.dll") mpeg2source("D:\Fightclub\VIDEO_TS\1.d2v") crop(1,78,717,418) Convolution3d(preset="movieHQ") lanczosresize(640,256) ...when run in virtualdub nothing happens! i get no error-message and nothing crashes, just my computer hardly responses until i kill virtualdub. when i take the convolution3d preset line out, the video plays. i redonwloaded the filter to make sure, it wasn't broken but that doesn't help it. any ideas? [edit] damn, i posted in the wrong forum.. could someone move this over to avisynth, pls.? sorry...

@((( atom ))) [edit] If you are working in YV12 and with AviSynth 2.5 [edit], you have to use "Convolution3dYV12.dll". To find it, just do a search in the AviSynth forum and follow the link in Vlad59's signature ;). regards, iago Edit: Btw, I would also recommend to crop by even numbers ;). Edit2: Well, to save you some trouble, it's here:

hi iago, thanks a lot for the hint! i knew that switching to xvid would be quite a job. slowly though, i have all my things together.. best regards.. [edit] is YV12 ok to use or would you recommend to switch to another mpeg2dec-version?

@iago why crop by even numbers? @atom YV12 kicks ass, keep it :)

Oh, Wilbert is right concerning the mpeg2dec3 issue, sorry for the confusion; it should be a slip of the mind! ;) Yes, there's an mpeg2dec3.dll for AviSynth 2.07 too. Edit1: Btw, AFAIK LanczosResize is built in and works with both AviSynth 2.07 and AviSynth 2.5, and in atom's script it's already not loaded as an external plug-in; so I couldn't understand why you come up with an additional LanczosResize advice, Wilbert ;). regards, iago Edit2: and to avoid further confusion and misguiding, I have edited my post above accordingly.

@((( atom ))), Come on man, step in, and free us all from all this ambiguity! ;) regards, iago

quite a version mess... to make it work i switched to the latest i could find right away: avisynth 2.5 using mpeg2dec3 and Convolution3DYV12. that combination didn't work and i am rather sure that the Convolution-filter caused this. so maybe i should try the bit older versions. i wasn't aware they would also work.. i figured, that when not using the convolution filter, there are strange artifacts right in the scene of the movie where with conv. it starts to hang. i'll change versions and will report later on.

wow, we were posting simultaniously! doom9's forum is almost like chatting ;)

((( atom ))) Maybe not related to the topic but: Imho, filtering "Fight Club" (even with a fantastic filter like Convolution3d) is really unnecessary, especially for a 2CD rip. Just use LanczosResize(640*xxx), or even a higher resolution if your system is strong enough to decode it, and leave the rest to the codec you use ;). If you are using XviD, use MPEG quantizers and no b-frames absolutely! ;) However, if you are doing a 1CD encode, filter as you like as to suit your taste of course, though it may still not be necessary for even a 1CD version of this very compressible and clean source. best regards, iago Btw, Convolution3DYV12 is much faster than the YUY2 version. Edit: And also cpu=4 setting with mpeg2dec3 will also lead to unnecessary loss of details imo.
