Maybe you should try asking how to fix your original problem of using AviSynth instead of the workaround you came up with...

I think my problem is I have no idea what the origional problem is, not very good at computers. Soooo, what is my origional problem? Think Barney style people!

Ok, this is my script for Avsynth... what did I do wrong?
AVISource("C:/My Documents/My Videos/AMV/Die Motherfuckers.avi")
ConvertToYUY2()
Telecide()
Decimate(5)
the problem ( I think ) is that I have no clue as to what I should put is line 2-4's ()

You shouldn't need

Code: Select all

ConvertToYUY2() 
Telecide() 
Decimate(5)

if your just going to frameserve an avi using avisource to your editing or compressing application.

What kind of sources are you using and what happens when you try to open the avisynth script in virtual dub?

After ripping your dvd footage did you run it through DVD2Avi to create a DVD2Avi project file? The extension of this file would be .d2v and they tend to only be a couple hundred Kilobytes large.

Make sure that in DVD2Avi you aren't trying to convert the DVD footage to avi format.

You might also try not having any spaces in your directory lines, which would require you to change your directory names. Like My Documents could be changed to MyDoc or something. It might or might not work.
