I've never had a problem opening a file in vdug. That's why I could never figure out why everyone was telling me I had to...the file was there.

open up notepad and type this in it:

Code: Select all
#ASYNTHER Default (AVISource)
DirectShowSource("C:\AMVExport\yourDVexport.avi",29.97)


but change the "C:/..." to the place on your computer where your file is...

then add

Code: Select all
fielddeinterlace()


so the whole thing should look like this:

Code: Select all
#ASYNTHER Default (AVISource)
DirectShowSource("C:\AMVExport\yourDVexport.avi",29.97)
fielddeinterlace()


if there are other things you want to do to clean up the file you can put the other avisynth filters in if you want... theres ones to take out rainbowing, solidify colors ect..

but save the notepad and it should be whatever you name it .txt change the .txt to .avs and then open the avs file in Virtualdub and it should have your filtered video in there...

its like "coding your clean up" but it works better than anything else
and thats how i open files in vdub

Wordpad is like a simplified MSWord app. Notepad is a simple text editor that is often used for coding like C++, HTML, and in this case AVISynth. You want to use Notepad.

lol you should be able to find it by going to the "start button" -> "All Programs"-> "Accessories"

note pad will be there, its the simplest form of Text Editor you will ever find O.o

save the file to where ever your video file is
and change the extention (which should be .txt) to .avs

then open that file in virtualdub mod

no, it should be the file directory to where your file is on your computer

Ok. It's not working. When I save it, it's just erasing the video and then vdub can't open it.
