AVISynth and VirtualDubMod

1) It doesn't want to load any AVISynth script. New or old.
2) It creates the file, but then it gives me the same error that I've been getting from step 1.

open a script. in windows media player. if it doesn't work, then the problem is with avisynth. Try loading one of the render scripts, like

Colorbars()

or

Version()

if they don't open either, reinstall AviSynth.

Both of those work in Windows Media Player, and Media Player Classic, so it's not AVISynth

Right. So you know that avisynth works.

so the problem is your files, probably.

Or the problem can also be in VDM, but the files are more likely to be the issue.

I'm having the same problem, so I guess I'll redo my .d2v files.

This would make more sense, if I didn't get the exact same error when I open via AVISynth in VDM. I've also tried this with an avi, and an mpg file.
If you've got any ideas on which file could be bad, let me know.

I'm not alone!

For what it's worth, my source files are from live-action DVDs; it's not for a music video project at all.

The frustrating thing is that I'm following the gudie to the letter and it simply isn't working. I've tried the simple color bars script and that works fine (right down to right clicking the .avs file and selecting "play") but if I follow that up with one of my MPEG2SOURCE .avs files, no good.

At least this got me to bring my AVISynth up to 2.5.6 and DGIndex to 1.4.8!

Say, what're you using to rip the DVDs? I'm using SmartRipper 2.41.

One other thing--my VOB files open just fine in DGIndex. They're a little squished, but it's only because they're 16:9 so it isn't unusual.

I use DVD Decryptor 3.5.4.0 for my DVDs. If your using DGIndex to make your d2v files, try using dgdecode.dll instead of mpeg2dec3.dll (I'm just assuming that your using mpeg2dec3).
