AVISynth and Network help

Well, I've got me two computers here, and so me and my friend can edit at the same time, with similar sources (and (mostly) because the other computer has more hard drive space), I want to use my avisynth files over a network. Main thing, how do I do it? I tried copying over the avisynth file to the client computer, and (with the directory shared), setting it to how windows explorer would see the file when browsing to it, in this case:

MPEG2Source("\\Comp1\dvdsource\hina1\hina1.d2v",ipp=true,cpu=4)

But it said cannot open d2v file, or obsolete d2v version. I upgraded, just in case, but it still said the same thing.

So yeah, how do I avisynth across a network?

You should make sure that the version of DVD2AVI or DGDecode/DGIndex are the same on both machines.

And I don't think you can specify a file path/name like that in AviSynth. You might be able to do it if you can map the network drive. To do this, open up My Computer, then select Tools from the menu, then Map Network Drive... Select a drive letter (higher is better) then OK. Your performance will suck ass though, so I don't recommend it.
