UTF-8 source files are not supported

[Andyme]

Hi, everyone! As you can guess, I'm having problems opening my avs files in virtualdub. When I wanna import them, Virtualdub sends me this message: Avisynth open failure: Import: UTF-8 source files are not supported, re-save script ANSI encoding!: "C:\Users\User\Other stuff\AVS\filename.avs")


I used this code: FFVideoSource("C:\Users\User\Other stuff\AVS\filename.mkv")


What should I do? I would really appreciate any help it! Thank you in advance!

[MOD258: Removed the filename. Please read the rules.]

Use Notepad to open the file, and when you re-save it, make sure the "Encoding" option in the save dialog is set to "ANSI".

Yes, AVS scripts need to be saved as ANSI. However, if you were to need to open a file that has UTF-8 characters in the path or filename, you can actually specify the parameter utf8=true when calling ffvideosource, save the script as UTF-8 without BOM, and then see if that works.

It worked! Thank you so-so much for the reply! You saved my next amv! When It's done, you have to decide wether or not It was worth it.
