Anri Chan 3.3 NullVideoPass

2013-06-18 08:02:49 pm

I've been having a curious problem with Anri-Chan that I hope someone here can help me with. I've encoded most of my Dungeon Keeper 2 run but Anri Chan now refuses to encode any of my videos at all, even those that worked before. The program gets stuck at "Ending Operation" after entering a file path. If I force the virtual dub process to stop a couple times I get a nullvediopass failed message and some recommendations. I've reinstalled Anri-Chan a few times but that hasn't done anything. I installed the CCCP so I don't think its a codex issue. There is only one video so I don't see it being a resolution/framerate mismatch. The characters and video paths were valid before, so I don't see how they could be invalid now. What are your suggestions? I've included the program output below:

is there a .avs file anri makes in the project directory? if so what happens if you manually open that in virtualdub?

There are 4 .avs files in the project directory. They all seem to get stuck when using virtualdub 1.9.7. For infotemplate, line 1 column 8 seems to be a comma in notepad. Here are the outputs of each:

Does Error.avs load up properly in virtualdub? For an AVI file, loading Error_source.avs directly should also work.

If there was an avisynth problem, there should have been some avisynth error in the log file. "vdub NullVideoPass failed" is kind of a last resort error message, it's what I wrote in if vdub returned anything but a 0 (0 is good).

They load up properly, they just stop at the points above. I don't see a log file created, but it the Error_Verifysouce file says:

vdub NullVideoPass failed
vdub NullVideoPass failed
vdub NullVideoPass failed

Anyway, I've tried Yua and found that it works for encoding the videos, so I'll leave it at that.
