Hello. I'm fairly new to dv but I've had no problems using VirtualDub for cleaning up captured files (with Vdub and Vdubmpeg2 versions). When I first tried avisynth, using the simplest of scripts saved in notepad, virtualdub would crash (close) just after hitting "enter' to try to load the script. It's not a syntax error. When trying to load the 'version' script into windows media player, that won't recognize the file type. So, I heard about avsedit and tried using that proggys simple loading mechanism and...boom...crash.
I'm using Virtualdub v 1.5.10 build 18160 and Virtualdub-mpeg2 v 1.5.10 build 18189. I'm running windows xp and I capture analog video thru the ADS pyro a/v link device thru a firewire connection, therefore Vdub won't capture for me, but that's another matter, I'd really like to be able to feed video served thru avisynth to get the more sophisticated filters available. Anyone for tennis? |

try to open .avs in WMP anyway. if im right when WMP says it doesnt recognize the file type it ask to continue or not, so let it continue
alternatively try Media Player Classic (get the right version: Win2K/XP or 98/Me), that should definitely open .avs files
theres also a (external) preview option in AVSEdit (under extras), does the script work with that? (its best to try this first i think)
or did you mean you couldnt load the .avs file with AVSedit? then create a script with AVSedit instead of notepad.
good luck 
(so tell me, was my serve in or out?  )

StephanV, Wilbert....thank you for your replys.
Wilbert..I removed all signs of Avisynth versions, reinstalled ...and voila, I can succesfully load Mpeg2 files into VDubMpeg2! However...VDub 2.5.4 will not recognize my type 2 DV files (Microsoft AVI files open DML)...the error message generated reads:
"couldn't locate decompressor for format 'dvsd' (unknown).
VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows compatible codec to decompress video. DirectShow codec, such as those used by Windows Media Player, are not suitable."
I thought Avisynth served all those AVIs that WMP plays, to VDub.
Any ideas?
StephanV...yes, I meant I coudn't use the preview function with AVSedit, it would crash when loading the 'built-in' scripts. And you aced...nice serve.

you could install a DV codec, like Panasonic DV or Mainconcepts DV or another one
(preferably not Panasonic DV; its free, but it does weird things like trying to decompress MPEG4 files if you dont have the particular MPEG4-codec installed. there are more than one solutions for this, but its still a pain IMO. but if you can live with that, fine. if you dont, better get another one.)
OR
did you try the script: DirectShowSource ("c:\filename.avi",[framerate]) (replace [framerate] with the actual number of the framerate)
BTW VDub 2.5.4? if you mean VDub 1.5.4, there is a newer version (1.5.10). if you mean AVISynth 2.5.4:

stephanV...thanks for your help. I mixed up my version numbers...but, yes I am using VDub 1.5.10.
I installed the panasonic codec and it enables me to load my video into VD directly, without first re-encoding with one of the codecs that came with Ulead, but when trying to load this script:
AviSource(d:\temp\Capture\homemovie.avi)
...it won't load the script and I receive this error:
Avisynth open failure:
Script error: expected a,or)
(C:Documents and Settings\Matthew\homemovie.avs, line 1, column 12)
I can't see where my script error is.

i think you forget to put in the " "
youir script should be
| CODE | | AviSource("d:\temp\Capture\homemovie.avi") |
see the difference? (look at the "")
hope this helps

Yes, I see the quotation marks. I didn't know they needed to be included.
Nevertheless, I've now tried altering the script ro include them, but, alas VDub just crashes when trying to load the avs files I've tried.
I've tried reloading avisynth and then avsedit and when loading the 'version' file (WITH THAT EXTERNAL, PREVIEW MODE), avsedit still crashes. And Vdub still crashes upon loading the scripts. Interestingly, before these reinstalls of avisynth and avsedit, the example scripts included with avisynth had no trouble loading into windows media player. Now, those eample scripts crash WMP, too.
However, the reistalled VDub still loads those Non-vfw videos, thanks to the panasobic codec.
I'm kinda back to where I was. Can't load avs scripts! |

well, i think its fairly safe to say that the problem lies with AviSynth, not VirtualDub or WMP
maybe you can look in these forums if someone has had something similar ---> http://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=67
good luck

Empty your plugin-dir (of AviSynth) and try again. |

Wilbert...your suggestion to empty avisynth plug-in directory seems to be the solution, to this aspect of the problem. Thanks very much. I can now load scripts into Vdub (at least avi files, but not mpegs, which makes sense since it is AVI-synth!).
I believe I was careful in downloading only version 2.5 filter files, but I guess I'l have to try loading them one-at-a-time to see which is the gremlin.
StephanV...many thanks to you as well.
