didn't really understand this. Also I have alot of plugins but i don't know how to use them in a script is there a guide that explains how to use these plugins in a script? Like what to write etc. THanksI believe FFMpegSource doesn't load audio by default. There should be an option in the function's parameters to select one of the tracks and have it play; check the documentation for it.

Did you re-open the script after editing it? If a script didn't have audio when you first opened it, simply hitting F5 to save and refresh won't make VirtualDubMod recognize that it now does have audio: you need to reopen it.

oh so it will be fine to edit in the inccorect/ slightly squished aspect ratio? When im gonna encode the video how would i set the proper aspect ratio flag? Also if i use avisynth to resize it from 720x480 to 848x480 its an exact match to when its played in VLC its the correct aspect ratio. All my other mkv h.264 never get squished/incorrect aspect ratios its only 1 of them. Also I've tried the atrak= scripts on other h.264 mkvs and vdub is able to find the sound track, the script works perfectly except for...... 1 of mkvs that gives me trouble. any idea why its not working for this individual file?As I said above, it doesn't matter until you're done with your AMV and ready to encode a lossy version to distribute. If you're distributing as an AVI file, then you'll need to resize to the correct resolution for square pixels. If you're distributing as a MPEG-1, -2, or -4 (I'm not sure about Matroska and MKV), then you don't have to resize, but you should be sure to set the proper aspect ratio flag when encoding.

It only really matters if you're going to use effects, in which case you want to make sure the editor is using the NTSC 0.9 pixel ratio internally, instead of Square Pixels. But resizing the video out to 848x480 means you can use Square Pixels and not worry about the effects looking wrong. It's just a matter of making sure everything matches.
What format is the audio? AC3, AAC, Vorbis, DTS...something else? It's possible (though I don't know under what circumstances) that FFmpegSource simply doesn't support the audio format that was used. To find out, open the MKV in MKVMerge GUI (http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoo ... ml#windows). It'll show the tracks and their identifiers, and show what the audio format is.
