I rip DVDs with no problem into vob format. I have AVISynth 2.5. This is the second time I've done the rip, so I did try the "try it again" phase. I have not tried recreating in another program, because I think I am making a mistake that I can't quite reconcile with the Read <a href=http://www.a-m-v.org/guides/avtech31/>ErMaC & AbsoluteDestiny's Friendly AMV Guides</a>.

I create the avs file in Wordpad. My line of text is this:
MPEG2Source("C:\AMVSource\Akira\vts_01.d2v")

I have tried renaming the file, I've tried making sure that the avs file is in the same place with the vob and d2v files. What I get is:

Avisynth open failure: script error: there is no function named "MPEG2Source"(C:\AMVSource\Akira\vts_01.d2v)

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I get the same thing when I try to open the avs in Premier. Please help. I've looked through some other areas on these boards, but haven't seen anything quite addressing this issue. Thank you.

i get that same error with all my locations correct and i used the same text in the avs file as before i reformatted to XP i dont know if that effects it.

i ripped my dvd with smart ripper and i have the vobs and i opened them in dvd2avi and saved the project and made the avs file after i installed Avisynth (first i install AMVapp then Avisnytn 2.0.8 then 2.5) and i tried leaving the plugin in and out and it always gives the same error in widnows media player and premiere

Try adding a

LoadPlugin("C:\mpeg2dec3.dll")

line before the MPEG2Source line. Of course you'll have to actually HAVE mpeg2dec3.dll and specify the correct location (i gave you a generic location).

And if you don't have that plugin, go here and download the correct plugin for the version of AviSynth that you own.

And remember to get Mpeg2dec3.

Update

There are four possible causes I've found for the unrecognized exception so far. Below I will describe how to fix them all.

1) Random accident with the order in which you installed all of your editing/video processing programs. Uninstall then reinstall Avisynth.

2) Nimo Codec Pack. If you have the Nimo Codec Pack get rid of it and then uninstall/reinstall Avisynth.

3) Multiple versions of AviSynth. You may have installed multiple versions inadvertantly by installing the AMVpack(which not a bad thing!!) or some of the newer versions of the Gordian Knot Rip Pack for example. The easiest way I've found to fix this problem is to uninstall all programs that installed Avisynth on your computer. Proceed to reinstall the AMVpack and the other programs but make sure you specify NOT to install AviSynth or AviSynth related files. After you are done with that, install AviSynth 2.53 and place the plugins that you need in the plugin folder. (It is located in the folder that you install Avisynth 2.53 to.)

4) Conflicting plugins. This is the problem that has most recently plagued me. Like multiple versions of AviSynth multiple versions of plugins don't help either. First, backup the plugins you currently have to another folder in case want to try using those instead of downloading them again. Next, only place the Mpeg2Dec3 and Decomb plugins into your plugin folder. These plugins are the basic IVTC and Mpeg decoder plugins used in the guides and if that is all you need then don't put anything else into your plugin folder. If you happen to use other plugins then add them your plugin folder as needed but make sure to add them one at a time to see whether or not AviSynth will work with the new plugin mixed in with everything else. If it doesn't then simply remove that plugin from the plugin folder.

That is basically everything I know right now. If you plan to upgrade to AviSynth 2.5 follow steps 3 and 4 otherwise you might end up with this error.

media player, virtual dub and premiere were all saying this error and now that I tried it again, it now works, except that the video which was 2 hours of Hellsing now is 7 seconds when opened though the AVS file, however, when I check back to the DVD2AVI project that it is linked to, the movie is as it should be, full. Is this the same problem and will updating to AVIsynth 2.5 fix this?

You can only try, but 2.5 is a probable fix...
