Amazing video. But.. help me. I get this error - Avisynth open failure: MSU FRC: width must be a multiples of 16 !"

What does that mean? However, I tried "crop" and also a filter called VDmod_resize (which has a option to "round to multiples of 16 X 16" so I thought, perfect!) But of course this didn't work, I still get that error! I don't get it.

I would love to try this.

@yoinkz - you might need to re render your original video with the right frame size first so that the filter can work with it.

[PhilipStephens007]

sometimes that happens if you do not have the right codecs to open the video files , on your system. Try recoding the video file with something like 'any video converter, into something a little more generic. try installing FFDshow (I think it is) which handles more file formats. Hope you get it sorted.

I did everything as you said in your video. But when I am loading the script in virtualdub I get:

script error: there is no function named "MSU_FRC"

( yes, I did copy the MSU_FRC.dll file into the plugins folder )

I am using version 2.58 of avisynth.

@jovlem- sorry to hear that. It seems some people are having problems getting things to work. I have had no problems though, and many others the same. I wondeer if there is a version incompatability, or corrupt file somewhere.

I also read a lot about using AVIsynth with MVtools. Is there any difference between MVTools and MSU framerate converter?

To me, it sounds that MSU frc is easier to use ( less scripting needed ) but what about the quality?

[PhilipStephens007]

@jovlem Yes, there is a difference. MSU does only the frame rate interpolating, and MVTools does other stuff like  noise filtering. Avisynth allows Virtual dub to use these filters.

@jovlem Hey jovlem. I discovered that the "MSU_FRC.dll" file actually isn't supposed to go into the VirtualDub plugins folder, but the AVISYNTH plugins folder... Once I figured that out it worked fine. Hope this helps :D

Very helpful - wish I knew of this filter earlier....

@yoinkz srry, I made a mistake. apparently the cropping worked, I just forgot to change the filename in the avisynth script; I left the old filename of the clip that wasn't resized!
