[HELP] Crash When Encoding DV AVI to x264?

Windows 7 was dropped with 2021.01.31.1 (see: https://www.selur.de/changelog), but it might still work iirc. there are a few users that use Hybrid on Windows 7 with the latest version.

Here are a few things you can try:
  • check the Vapoursynth Preview and see whether it shows an error, let me know if it works or not.
    Since x264 reports ' y4m [error]: bad sequence header magic' it probably is a decoding problem.
    In case the decoding of the file fails:
    • Since you use DV and before used VirtualDub, you could try whether it helps to enable "Filtering->Vapoursynth->Misc->Source->Prefer AviSource for .avi input". This way Hybrid will look for a 64bit vfw dv codec on your system an in case there is one use that.
  • change 'Filtering->Support' to 'Avisynth' and try whether the preview works fine.
    • Since you use DV and before used VirtualDub, you could try whether it helps to enable "Filtering->Avisynth->Misc->Source->Prefer AviSource for .avi input". This way Hybrid will look for a 32it vfw dv codec on your system an in case there is one use that. (64bit version in case Config->Internals->Avisynth->Avisynth type" is set to '64bit'.)
    • Since ffms2 is used as decoder, you could try using an older FFMS2 version (https://github.com/FFMS/ffms2/releases); 32bit dll belongs into 'Hybrid\32bit\avisynthPlugins'-folder, 64bit dll belongs into 'Hybrid\64bit\Avisynth\avisynthPlugins' folder.
  • try a later Hybrid version

If you can upload a small sample somewhere and send me a link to it I can try whether it's a general decoding issue with your file.
I tried some content with the same characteristics of your file (# color space: YUV411P8, bit depth: 8, resolution: 720x480, fps: 29.97, color matrix: 470bg, yuv luminance scale: limited, scanorder: bottom field first) and had no issue decoding (and encoding to 422 x264) it.

The Vapoursynth script used:

Dllref = ctypes.windll.LoadLibrary("C:/Program Files/Hybrid/64bit/vsfilters/Support/libfftw3f-3.dll")

# making sure input color matrix is set as 470bg
clip = core.resize.Point(clip, matrix_in_s="470bg",range_s="limited")
# making sure frame rate is set to 29.970

# Setting color range to TV (limited) range.
clip = core.std.SetFrameProp(clip=clip, prop="_ColorRange", intval=1)
# adjusting color space from YUV411P8 to YUV444P8 for VsQTGMC
clip = core.resize.Bicubic(clip=clip, format=vs.YUV444P8, range_s="limited")
# setting field order to what QTGMC should assume (bottom field first)
clip = core.std.SetFrameProp(clip=clip, prop="_FieldBased", intval=1)
# Deinterlacing using QTGMC
clip = havsfunc.QTGMC(Input=clip, Preset="Faster", TFF=False) # new fps: 59.94
# make sure content is preceived as frame based
clip = core.std.SetFieldBased(clip, 0)
# adjusting output color from: YUV444P8 to YUV422P8 for x264Model (i422@8)
clip = core.resize.Bicubic(clip=clip, format=vs.YUV422P8, range_s="limited")
# set output frame rate to 59.940fps
clip = core.std.AssumeFPS(clip=clip, fpsnum=60000, fpsden=1001)
# Output
clip.set_output()
also looks fine to me.

Thank you so much for the quick response! I checked the preview and the log said "Failed to Initialize VapourSynth." Also, I updated to the latest version of Hybrid. I tried enabling the "Prefer Avisource for .avi input," however it still crashed.

I switched over to Avisynth and preferred Avisource for that, but I got the following error when I ran the preview:

Avisynth preview error: -> MDegrain1 : no valid OVERSCHROMA function for 16x16, bitsperpixel=8, lsb_flag=0, level=1 (C:\Program Files\Hybrid\64bit\Avisynth\avisynthPlugins\QTGMC.avsi, line 759) (C:\Users\Zack\AppData\Local\Temp\tempPreviewAvisynthFile15_16_55_602_tmp.avs, line 16)

I can also confirm that it is not one specific file that I'm having this issue with, as I have tried several similar files and have had the same results.
