The files come out about 100mb bigger, 330mb > 430mb, and I can hardely see any quality loss.

Re: MKV Madness
Well, at the moment I use SUPER to convert the MKV files to AVI which, so far, works fine.

hardly != no quality loss
You really shouldn't edit with anything lossy.

Re: MKV Madness
The only hit I got from that error had to do about the filename being malformed, and that it was fixed when the user having the problem changed one character (they of course didn't say anything about what the filename was, or what the character itself was). If you changed the name of the file entirely and went to using the relative path to the file ("test.mkv" instead of "C:\yadda\yadda\yadda\test.mkv"), then maybe it would work. This also goes for the script itself - if the error lies in VirtualDub and not AviSynth, then it would be the script that has a bad filename.
Can you play the script fine in Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic? That should be the very first thing you try, and would reveal whether the error is in AviSynth or VDub (I strongly think it's VDub, as that was the way it was with the other info on the error message that I found).
It might also be of use to update VDub to version 1.9.7, which is the current stable version.

I second getting avidemux. It really is an amazing tool. Even when it says it crashes..... it lies!!

Re: MKV Madness
Actually, I do have an idea. If you are tech savvy enough (and want to have fun at the expenses of the ones who will download the files), you can actually hide and split streams of any kind into mkv files, so that if not demuxed properly, the mkv will not be useful for anything else than viewing.
Examples of this are weird hidden video streams that show joke images or whatever else if you try to load the mkv normally.
Overcoming such tricks can be hard to a certain extent, as simply using mkvextract gui to get files out might not suffice...
So your case might just be an encoder having fun at your expenses. :°D
