avs scripting help

I'm having trouble with the avs scripting procedure and it is annoying me that it is taking time away from editing the dvd in premier.

So far I have ripped the first dvd in the 3 dvd series.
I used DVD2AVI to convert the first 2 VOBs into 5 AVIs.

ErMac's guide says to put the 2 lines of script into the AVS file, but I don't know what I should type in the script to load the AVS file into Premier.

What exaclty should I type for the 2 line of script and what should I do after that?

Please don't tell me to read the guides, because I have been going over them for a while trying to fix my problem.

er... thats it :\ put the lines you want in and save it as a .avs file and open it in premiere/virtualdub/whatever program you want

I put in the 2 lines of avs script in the file and both Premier and VirtualDub says that they are unrecognized exceptions. The line that appears in both of the programs is the script that is pointing to the d2v file.

It says MPEG2Source("D:\Folder01\video_folder\anime_DVD_1\anime_DVD_1.d2v")

LoadPlugin("C:\AVSFilters\MPEG2DEC3.DLL")

Did you type something similar to that in the first line? the MPEGDEC3.DLL should be in the directory where you put it in ur avs filters.

i had a lot of problems with this at awhlie ago. it helps to re-type parts of ur avs file and save frequently, to get it to reload in Premier. First, double check that every letter is correct in ur avs which leads to ur d2v.

what exactly does it say in ur "unrecognized exception" window? this would help cuz it points out what's causing the error. it should be something like "line 1..., or line 2..." and some sorta mistake.

make sure ur d2v file contains the location of ur vobs, also. and ur avs file should have the file extension ".avs", not ".txt".

First off, you don't need that line. It's autoloaded.

I typed LoadPlugin("D:\MPEG2dec.dll") in the first line

LoadPlugin("D:\My_name\Decomb.dll") in the second and

MPEG2Source("D:\My_name\video_folder\anime_DVD_1\anime_DVD_1.d2v") for the 3rd line and Premier says that it's the "unrecognized exception." Also that d2v file is in the folder with all the VOBs that was ripped of the dvd.

Oh, and your icon, keiichi87, is what my amv the anime is based on.

I think I should have have checked the last sentence more carefully. What I mean is keiichi87's icon is from the anime my amv is going to be based on.

Oh, ur doing a Chobits vid?

as Wolfwood pointed out, u don't need to type in "LoadPlugin("D:\mpeg2dec.dll")" into ur avs file. my apologies, u only need to type this in if u don't have the AMVapp or Avisynth 2.06 and higher.

now for the unrecognized exception, the location or content of ur d2v file must be wrong, since Premier is nicely pointing out for us. you should double-check the spelling within ur avs file. also, are you running Windows XP? your file extensions should also be ".avs" and ".d2v", respectively. they should not be .txt files.

I've had the same problem.

using the LATEST version of DVD2AVI should fix this problem (the latest version of dvd2avi is not tthe one that is provided in amvApps)

Maybe this is your problem.

According to the guides,

YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO MAKE AN AVI FILE.

You are supposed to make a project file. Go to the file menu and choose save project. It will run for a bit, and leave you with a .d2v file.

Point avisynth at the d2v file like so:

MPEG2Source("C:\myproject\vobs\myproject.d2v") or whatever your pathname is.

I think the distinction between making an avi and a project file ought to be colored and enlarged in the guides as I've done here. I keep seeing people make this mistake over and over.

Assuming you have installed the latest version of amv.app, (go get it if you haven't) that one line is all you need for a working .avs file.
