try unistalling that and putting the amvapp 2.0 DGIindex back in.

that almost looks like the original index was made with the earlier version and now wont run 'cause you have the new version....

I didn't. I've always had the version I got with the amvapp 2.0, the 3 beta never worked on my computer. And I also re-created the d2v, because that was one of my first thoughts that it would cause the problem...

Open DGIndex and go to Help > About DGIndex.

For the version of the plugin that you have for AviSynth, open up AviSynth's plugin directory, right-click the file DGDecode.dll, go to properties, then go to the Version tab.

Make sure the two match.

For example, I have version 1.4.9.13. Dunno if it's the most updated, but it works for me.

so yeah, there's only 1 DGDecode.dll file on my computer. Its Version 1.5.0.0 and my DGIndex is 1.2.1

Re-Install? :/

Just get the latest version here and re-index your vobs.

Or, if you don't feel like re-indexing all your VOBs, replace your DGDecode.dll with version 1.2.1 (from the same ZIP file you installed your DGIndex from).

ok, so that problem is fixed, but...

...the fake avi file has still nothing but a black image ;_;

Have you tried other colorspaces? I know its silly to think that could be the problem but you never really know.

Try indexing just 1 dvd file and see if that works with vfapi?

If you can watch the avs file from a video player then the problem is with vfapi. If you cant watch it through a player then the problem is the indexed file or something with avisynth. Process of elimination.

You have to find out whats causing the problem before you can take steps to fix it.

Sorry, I didn't get that part. What do you mean?

Then the Problem must be vfapi/makeavis (since both wont work), because the other files play fine in media player & vdubmod.

converttoyv12() or rgb24 etc that's the command to change colourspace

different regioncodes tend to use different colourspace in their encoding

Oh, I've done that already. It doesn't matter, it doesn't work with either one.
