WMM - MakeAvis methode doesn't work for me

I have a problem with WMM. I made a fake avi with MakeAvis and everything seemed alright until that point.
But when I tried to import it into WMM, the program showed me an incredible high estimated time. I've waited for about 10 minutes, but nothing happened (well, the estimated time was still rising).
I cancelled it and, surprise - saw the file imported, able to watch a working (rather slow...) preview.
But when I put it on my timeline, WMM just shut down.

Now I don't really know what to do. I already tried both the "store script file" and the "store script" options when making the fake avi, without success.
Also, everythings seems to be well prepared for WMM (framerate of 29.97, converted to RGB32, correct Aspect Ratio).
Maybe it's just too large for the program? I've only made one single script for 13 episodes. It's also already deinterlaced.

Maybe someone can help me, I'd be really glad - I hate making clips.

Yeah, way too big. Try one script per episode.

That, or give the script more memory and see if that helps (with the SetMemoryMax() line).

Okay, thanks for your help, I'll see what I can do.

Okay, I made one script for each episode and tried it again with the first one. Still the same.
The SetMemoryMax() line doesn't work for me, maybe I'm too stupid to figure it out?

If you can't get MakeAVIs to work, you can try the method described here.

It has to go at the beginning of each script used, before everything else. The default value is 32, I believe; you might try raising it to, say, 64...

(But if you start running out of memory, then that obviously won't work.)

I gave my script more memory but still, nothing worked.
But that doesn't matter, the problem's fixed - VFAPI solved it.

Thanks to everyone for their help ^^
