not sure what i'm doing wrong...

Ok... i'll try to explain my problem as concisely as possible.

From start to finish:
I rip the dvd.
index the .vob file via dgindex to create .d2v file
open in VirtualDubMod with avisynth.
using the script editor i:
deinterlace via tele/deci
crop vid
convert to rgb32

using converted the a3c stream to wav
added the stream in VDM
using the preview window of VDM, made sure the vid looked and sounded how i wanted it.
set the compression codec to Huffy/Lagarith (i tried both with the same ending result)
selected the clip that i wanted to save to .avi, then saved.

once this process was finished, i tried playing the clip i saved on several different players (winamp, mediaplayer, realplayer, preview pane of Ulead video studio 10+)

the same result occured in all players: the file would open, show a bunch of horizontal colored lines (nothing even similar to the colorbars), then crash whichever program i was trying to play the clip in.

Hopefully someone can help me out here. Am i missing an essential line in my script or what? any help is appreciated!

Posting the script may help a bit...

The script as is:

#ASYNTHER MPEG2Source (mpeg2dec.dll)
MPEG2Source("G:\Fruits Basket\Episode 01\FB 01.d2v")
Telecide(order=1,guide=1)
Decimate(cycle=5, mode=2)
Crop(8,0,-8,-0)
converttorgb32()

What is probably happening is just a simple memory conflict. Unless you have a godly ammount of RAM, media players tend to crash when playing losslessly encoded videos because the bitrate is overwhelming. Try opening the AVIs in vdub and see if they play OK.
