Another n00bish question...

After much work and careful studying, ive hit a snag. Ive managed to rip the correct .vob file I needed and indexed it for optimum performance in DGIindex, but when I take the next step and use VirtualDubMod, I cannot seem to get it to open the video script. It gives the message "Script error: there is no function named "mpeg2source". Does this mean that I have to reinstall AVIsynth or does that mean i have to make the script manually?

you need a plugin to be able to use mpeg2source().
it should be mpeg2dec3.dll (if you're using dvd2avi)
or dgdecode.dll (if using DGindex).

since you're using DGIndex, you'll need to use the second one
you need to load the plugin (or put the .dll in avisynth's plugin directory) before doing anything else in your script, it's done like this:

Code: Select all

loadPlugin("path to dgdecode.dll")

if you put the .dll into avisynth's plugin directory then you don't need to have the loadPlugin() line.

you just need to make sure that your version of AviSynth supports auto-loading (not sure which version started supporting this...but if you have version 2.5.6 or later it will work)

...except now im not sure how to go about and do that..like I said, Im very new to this whole thing. Is there a part in the guide that can take me through this step by step?

I don't think so, but I'll give it a shot.

alright, when you downloaded DGindex you also got dgdecode.dll.
so the first step is to go to where you put DGindex. (or you could just go to start-search [all files and folders] and have your computer look for dgdecode.dll)
*once your computer finds the file, click and drag it from the search window onto your desktop

next, you have to go to where you installed AviSynth. It's most likely under my computer-C:-program files.
The folder will say AviSynth 2.5, go into it.
there should now be a folder that says plugins, go into it

now you need to drag DGDecode.dll from wherever it is, into the plugins folder (after you find it you may want to put it on your desktop so that it's easily accessible)

Hmmm...odd..I already have that script in the right place in the right folder and its still giving me the same message. I can load the .vob file, but not the AVI Synth script. What else could be wrong?

Kariudo · Post by **Kariudo** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 3:55 am

so you put the vob through DGIndex and got a d2v file right?
are you trying to load the vob file or the d2v file?

it would help if you posted your script
you can use the code tags

Code: Select all

[code]avisynth script goes in here

[/code]

Yes, I ran it through and I do have a .d2v file of the .vob. The guide said to load the AVS file, not the .vob file, or maybe im mistaking the directions.
