I'm new and I have a question
Hey, I'm currently in the process of making my first AMV. I didn't get every far before I hit a bump, lol
I'm following the guide for working with DVD footage. I downloaded all of the software and plugins, ripped my DVD footage and used DGIndex to save it as .d2v.
I then started to make the script for AVISynth, and that's where I had the problems. After writing the script, I get an error when trying to open the video through VirtualDub. My script looks like this
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Decomb521.dll")
MPEG2Source("C:\My Movies\Animatrix\osiris.d2v")
I get this error:
Avisynth open failure:
MPEG2Source: couldn't open file
(C:\full path of script.avs, line 3)
I'm a n00b when it comes to this stuff, so excuse me if it's a simple problem, or if this has been covered before

i nominate you for a cookie or something. using avs scripting in your first video. thats a pretty huge leap by noob standards.
and actually knowing you messed up and requesting the topic be moved.
we need more new people like you.
now to the answer. in line 3 of your script you located your file to it's exact directory. common since tells you that it needs to have the exact file path, but avisynth is funny like that. you don't need the exact path.
make sure your avs script is in the same folder as your dv2 file.
then change your script to

if all else fails, this is my base script. i start all of my scripts by modifying this one. it gets rid of interlacing too. in most cases, you don't even have to modify it. just insert file name, and use.
loadplugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\DGDecode.dll")
mpeg2source("yourfilename.d2v")
Telecide(order=1,post=2,blend=false,vthresh=30,back=1)
Decimate(cycle=5,mode=3,quality=3)
loadplugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\DGDecode.dll")
mpeg2source("yourfilename.d2v")
Telecide(order=1,post=2,blend=false,vthresh=30,back=1)
Decimate(cycle=5,mode=3,quality=3)

I didn't use DGDecode, would I put DGIndex in there instead?Minion wrote:if all else fails, this is my base script. i start all of my scripts by modifying this one. it gets rid of interlacing too. in most cases, you don't even have to modify it. just insert file name, and use.
