I work at an office, and at night I have all the other computers here pretty much to myself.

I believe this is an egregious waste of processing power, and tried to encode all the *.vob files i had saved on my computer over the network with the other idle computers.

I used Gordianknot to generate the *.avs files locally and tried accessing them from the other computers using Nandub.

At first, I thought the reason for an error message in Media player (i first checked to see if windows media player could play these files) was because i didn't have the correct path.

I then changed the paths so that they would include the name of the computer which had these video files in the *.avs as well as *.d2v.

It still won't open in Nandub, and I tried searching for some time on the Net for a solution to this but with no result.

I would much appreciate it if some network guru could tell how to solve this problem.

you have to map network drives such that both PCs are accessing the script and the VOBs with same drive letter ...

What error message comes up in NanDub?

If there is a problem with the path it will normally say what line in the script the error happens. If it doesn't, make sure AviSynth is correctly installed on all the computers and that a local script works.

Use the Matroska file format

I've done the same thing.

The location information in the D2V file is specific instead of relative. So, even if the D2V file is in the same folder as the VOB files, the path has to be the same. So, if it was created on the local machine in D:\DVDRIPS\Barbie, then the network machine has to have the drive mapped so that it will find the VOB files in D:\DVDRIPS\Barbie.

--------------------
Please take anything I say with many many grains of salt. I can't tell the difference between my AVI and a hole in the ground.

Thanks, guys.

Oh, and, um, could somebody tell me a site where I can get some in depth information on creating job lists in virtualdub? So that I don't have to sit in front of a computer all the time.

I tried searching the virtualdub site and the help file included in the program but they were as helpful as Kissinger on Cambodia.
