Hey everyone,
I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum for this questions, so mods please feel free to move it, but:
I'm fairly new to AVISynth and what it does. I mostly use it to open non-AVI files for editing like most people would, but I've encountered the following error twice and want to what the general solution is:
"AviSynth open failure:
AviSynth error: YV12 images for output must have a width divisible by 4
(use crop)!"
What needs to be added to the code [DirectShowSource("nameoffile.mp4")] to resolve the error above if it's encountered? |

If you use Avisynth just to open non-AVI files then you could try to switch to input plugins: http://forums.virtualdub.org/index.php?act...=ST&f=7&t=12664
It is easier and you could also use Direct Stream Copy in this way.
I suggest the Quicktime input plugin for .mp4 files.

Well, I really don't know much about plugins in general, but I was just wondering what the error itself meant?
The original file had dimensions of 718x364. I don't understand the error, what would the dimension need to be changed to in order for the error to disappear?
Edit: I also checked out the plugins list you linked and clicked on Quicktime (http://www.tateu.net/software/). Which program would I click on in the list, the one for AVISynth or VirtualDub? |

It's self explanatory
The message says images can only be outputted at sizes that are multiples of 4
Your size is 718x364
718/4 = 179.5 This is obviously not divisible by 4, so it shows a message telling you that
You want to crop it to 179*4 = 716
The command in avisynth for that is
Crop(0,0,716,364)
2)

If you want avisynth to be able to decode quicktime, then you'd pick the quicktime one
If you want virtualdub to be able to decode quicktime, then you'd pick the virtualdub one

I would enter that as line 2 of the script file, right?

That's what I thought, but: What is the difference between the install zip and the source zip? I don't get it. |

Yes

The install is the program or plugin etc
Source code is the code the author wrote that a compiler turns into the finished files
You only ever download the sourcecode if you want to compile it
It's one of those "if you dont' know what it is, you don't want it" things

Ok. Thanks for being so patient with my questions. I'm gonna try the crop command in my .avs file and if that doesn't work, I'll try downloading and installing the plugin. I'll come back here if I have a problem 
Edit: The Crop(0,0,716,364) command worked perfectly, dloneranger. I just have a small question: What do the zeroes in the command represent? |

You can use
ConvertToRGB()
instead - if you don't want crop.
