Help end my software Nightmare

I'v just spent the last two days combing every forum and web site i could find to get help on AVISynth but so far to no avail.

I keep geting a failed to create script error every time i try to run any script i throw at it. I'm using VirtualDubMod to open video file via avisynth. I've been trying to figure AVISynth for quite a while now but I'm completely lost. All the guides I read send me to another guide which links it self to some where else. I feel like I'm chasing my tail.

Would someone be kind enough to please tell me how to open avisynth correctly and run these scripts?

What is in your script?

LoadPlugin("c:\Program Files\GordianKnot\decomb.dll")
AVISource("G:\St Pats\Vid\Raw\earne.01.avi")
Telecide()
Decimate(cycle=5)

As far as guides go, this is probably your best bet
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/ ... yntha.html

I think the script should work fine as

Code: Select all

AVISource("G:\St Pats\Vid\Raw\earne01.avi") 
Telecide() 
Decimate(5)

except there is a space between "St" and "Pats"
Also, you shouldn't name the file "earne.01.avi", try using "earne_01.avi" or "earne01.avi"

One last thing, do you have the amvapp installed? If not, do it. The link for it is on the page of the guide that I linked to.

How do you make your avs file? Do you open notepad, type in the code, then save the file as <all types> with the name "name.avs"?

stpats.avs is the file name, I made it with notepad and saved it as an avs file. Here is a question. How do I open a file I've created an avs file for?
Right now i'm using virtualDubAvs 0.3 beta that came with AMVApp. Going to "file" then "Open file via avisynth" and then selecting the avs file i created.
