Need help

I can successfully open an mkv file in vdub, but when I try to open another, I get an "line 1" error. I checked my script and it follows that of the 1st (making the needed changes) which opened fine. I changed 1 thing to open a different file, but it's giving me that error.

ffmpegsource("C:\Users\xRazieLx\Desktop\Current Project Files\footage\1.mkv", vtrack=-1, atrack=-1) - works fine
ffmpegsource("C:\Users\xRazieLx\Desktop\Current Project Files\footage\2.mkv", vtrack=-1, atrack=-1) - getting an error :x

I checked the paths to my files and they are correct. Any help is appreciated.

do you use Virtualdubmod? last i heard was that it isnt possible to open .mkv files in virtualdub. And yeah... virtualdubmod's support for .mkv files is very outdated, it simply can't handle native AVC. In order for ffdshow to work the mkv would have to contain AVC stored in VfW compatibility mode. try using a different container if possible.

The OP was clearly talking about opening the MKV files via AVISynth (specifically using the FFMPEGSource plugin); therefore, none of what you just said applies.
