Error on line one, but there isn't an error.

I had the normal DVD of "Fight Club"(Yes, it's not an anime, but whatever), and I backed it up.

Some time later I ripped the backup using DVD Shrink and saved the video files to my harddrive. The vobs and everything work fine.

I open up DVD2Avi and I save my project.
Then I make my avs script.

Here's the location of the file, copy and pasted:
D:\FIGHT CLUB\footage\club.d2v

Here's my avs script, copy and pasted.
MPEG2Source("D:\FIGHT CLUB\footage\club.d2v")

Yet when I import into Premiere 6, it still gives me a line 1 error.
WTF?

I can play the d2v by itself just fine in DVD2avi, so it's not like my project is corrupt or anything. =(

Lawl, okay I'm a retard.

I remade the project with DGIndex instead of DVD2avi.

I have FILM 99% video type. EADFAG says on one page this is 'very important' but on the next page it says that 'that's great, you have <whatever> footage".

And just goes into some other steps.
So is there anything else I should have in my script for video type FILM 99%?

If you've force-filmed it and there are no combed frames, then no, it'll already be progressive.

Well, despite what it says, it looks horribly interlaced?
Will Telecide() fix it?

I'm confused because I've never worked with Live action seriously before.

Did you Force FILM it in DGIndex? A source that shows up as 99% FILM shouldn't still have combed frames all over the place if it's been Forced FILM.

I don't understand what this means? >_<;;

If the result from DGIndex's scan is mostly FILM, then go to Video->Field Operation, select the Forced Film option, save the d2v, and bam you're done.
