Asf2avi should work as well.

im trying to open a wmv file in vdub 1.3 how do i type out the directshowsource()?

directshowsource("C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Videos\AMV_somewhere i belong-improved.wmv")

this is what i tried no luck im still new to this stuff. what file extention do i save as also?hmmmmmmmm......

you need to add the framerate of the video, but other than that it's good. DirectShowSource("btatjgjhskjdtf.wmv",fps=29.97) for instance. Then you can save it as anything you want

thats exactly what i need to figure out i've asked that same question in other threads. i cleaned up the audio in one of my early vids now its time for the vid cuz i dont have the source for it anymore.

ill try that but why does nit say cannot determine file mformat in vdub 1.3?

Can't read wmv, only asf. Change the extension to asf and hope it's able to read it.

Other than that, if you made the vid you should know the framerate, but if you don't you can find out in wmp 6.4 (start>run>mplayer2) by the average frame rate achieved in the video renderer filter under file>properties>advanced. It should be close to a common framerate (15, 23.976, 24, 29.97, 30).

*enter one of those common framerates, though, not the number it gives you exactly. Just whichever of those it's closest to.

hmm i tried this
directshowsource("C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My

Videos\AMV_somewhere i belong-improved.wmv",fps=23.976)

and saved as asf, when i try to import to vdub it says unable to determine file type

First of all I would make the location to that file easier to read so you have less chance of messing up on it.

Second, that is an AVISynth script you just wrote. It ends with a .AVS extension. Not ASF.

Tab meant renaming the .wmv to .asf and seeing if it worked in Vdub. If it doesn't, then try the AVISynth script. Which needs to have a .avs extension...

sucess my wmv is now an avi. what filter should i use in vdub. the old version is right herehttp://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/member ... hp?v=24742
could someone watch it and tell me how i can fix it in vdub. im kinda new.

Nobody is going to do that for you. You need to find the right filters yourself and test them to see what looks best. A good starting point would be deen, which is an avisynth filter.
Anyway, there's a section on this in the guides.
