Weird VFAPI Problem

[LivingFlame]

So, I was trying to use VFAPI for the first time, and I ran across this. It won't recognize an .avs file as a valid file. Actually, for that matter, it doesn't seem to recognize any file type as a valid file. See here:



And here is the error message:


(I resized the images to fit the site's rules. If you can't read that error message, it simply states, "File 'C:\Documents and Settings\(My Name)\Desktop\Azu 05.avs' is invalid.")

So is there something I can do to make it recognize the file types it's supposed to recognize?

Oh, and the .avs file works perfectly fine in Vdub and I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the AMVapp.

It's not that I have to be able to use VFAPI - I have plenty of disk space available to make lossless files of what I need. I just wanted to test VFAPI to see how well it would work on my computer. And now that I've found this problem, I'd like to try and solve it. =\


Oh (pt. 2), all that's in the code is the line calling the video file and a ConvertToRGB32().

Any thoughts?

It's a rather common problem. I found out that it's easily fixed:

1) get this

2) Uncompress it and put the readavs.dll in your support tools directory of the amvapp (should be C:\Program Files\AMVApp\Support Tools)

3) right click the readavs.reg and choose modify

4) change this line

Code: Select all

"Avisynth"="D:\\TMPGEnc\\ReadAVS.dll"

to

Code: Select all

"Avisynth"="C:\\Program Files\\AMVApp\\Support Tools\\ReadAVS.dll"

(of course if you put the readavs.dll in a different directory, you have to properly change the path in the code too, remember to use \\ and not just \)

5) save and close the readavs.reg and double click it. Now VFAPI *should* work (this fixed the problem for most if not all people that had it, myself included).

Awesome. Simple and it worked like a charm; can't ask for more than that. Thanks a lot.
