Trouble loading .avs file from AviSynth

for side note 1, I don't know
for side note 2, dvd2avi (which you should be using since you are using mpeg2dec3. if you are using dgindex you need to have dgdecode in your plugins folder instead of mpeg2dec3) is pretty much set it and forget it.

K, I'll look into what you said here. I'll post back if I have any further questions. Thanks alot for the help thus far.

Few questions on DvD2Avi...

1) I used it, but the sound clip came out as a seperate file. In most cases this wouldn't be an issue. However for this vid, I intend to use to audio from the original show in the vid. Any way to keep the two together?

2) When the video was done, it was running slower than normal speed. Did I not do something right to cause that?

Again, thanks for all the help.

dvd2Avi will automatically create seperate audio and video files. If you want them back together, toss them into a video editing program and line them up. Unless there's something I'm missing.

Are you plaing it using your script in VDub? If so, that's normal. depending on what you use for IVTC and filtering, it can cause your video to play slower than a cold snai. When you create your clips, they should run at their proper speed.

K, I'll look into that. I'm somewhat of a newbie at scripts and such so I'm still trying to get all that stuff down.

No stress.

AVISynth can be very troublesome, but the final results are worth the headaches.

Well I've found an alternative method that looks promising. I can get the video with very little visual problems. Only two manifest...

1) Interlacing (which obviously all I have to do is deinterlace)

2) This effect on characters clothing that causes a line of sorts with tiny boxes in those lines that move or "blink" as the character moves. (I'm not sure if I'm explaining that very well.)

If anyone happens to know what problem 2 is called and how to fix it I'd love to know. Thanks.

If it looks like this, it's dot crawl:

Dot crawl is one of the hardest artifacts to remove, but there are some AVISynth filters designed to combat it: try DeDot or FluxSmooth (the latter should be only applied to the luminance channel for this purpose; use MergeLuma to see that it is).

While we're discussing weird artifacts, is there a way to apply derainbowing to only a part of my footage? The only way I can get to fix the rainbow is by making all the rest of the screen look like it was thrown up by a rainbow.

Most of the more popular rainbowing solutions, such as DeDot, Shodan's DeRainbow/RainbowKiller/SDDeRainbow (depending on where you got it from), etc. are designed to hit only rainbows and leave the rest of the image alone.

Shodan's DeRainbow makes use of a mask to accomplish this, as does my own <a href="http://www.aquilinestudios.org/scripts/ ... Rainbow</a>, while my <a href="http://www.aquilinestudios.org/scripts/ ... Rainbow</a> only looks at pixels that are the same in every other frame.
