Unless you are going to make MP4 video files, you don't need 3ivx. Plus, there is a better software package for doing so. Same goes for x264, unless you are intending to encode your videos to H.264 instead of XviD/DivX, WMV, or other, you don't need it. x264 is a H.264 encoder only (at least it is now), not a decoder.

If you can play the MP4 in Windows Media Player, then you are halfway there. If not, install the CCCP which should install a customized ffdshow codec for playing back primarily anime. Along the way, it should also install a file splitter capable of handling MP4 files (Haali Media Splitter/Matroska Splitter).

Now that we can play the file, we can move on...

AviSynth 2.0.8 is an older version that may not fully support some of the newer filters available. I suggest using AviSynth 2.5.6a, it is the most stable of the current v2.5 branch.

Open notepad and type this:
Code: Select all
DirectShowSource("C:\My Video Name.mp4")

For example, if my file is named LocoRocoTrailer.mp4 and it is in my D:\Download\PSPLocoRoco folder, I would type the line like this:
Code: Select all
DirectShowSource("D:\Download\PSPLocoRoco\LocoRocoTrailer.mp4")

Save the file with a .avs extension (not .txt) and open the file in VirtualDubMod.

He was just giving you an example
Don't use D:\ unless thats the hard drive your video is saved to

If you still have your Onegai Teacher folder saved to your c:/ drive, then your video will still be

DirectShowSource("c:/[NF] Onegai Teacher DVDrip 01-13 + Extras + Music Collection [h264+AAC]/[NF] Onegai Teacher DVDrip 01 [h264+AAC] [A05C5DF4].mp4")

Willen can probably help you with the rest
You have FFdshow and Haali Splitter installed already

well if you can play the mp4 in windows media player then you probably don't need to install the CCCP.
Try opening your file in windows media player and see will it play.

From what i know you already have
FFdshow
Haali Media Splitter
AviSynth

When you tried to open the avisynth (.avs) script in virtualdub
the FFdshow icon appeard first then the Haali Splitter icon appeared then the program closed right?

If the video plays, then open notepad, copy this:

DirectShowSource("c:/[NF] Onegai Teacher DVDrip 01-13 + Extras + Music Collection [h264+AAC]/[NF] Onegai Teacher DVDrip 01 [h264+AAC] [A05C5DF4].mp4")

Then save the file as OnegaiTeacher01.avs (or whatever name you like, just make sure you end it with .avs instead of .txt.

Then open the .avs file in VirtualDubMod.

One thing to note: AviSynth supports relative paths. As long as the script is in the same folder as the video you're wanting to open, just the filename is needed.

Example:
Code: Select all
DirectShowSource("blahblah.whatever")

will work just as well as
Code: Select all
DirectShowSource("C:\crap\morecrap\evenmorecrap\blahblah.whatever")


Cuts down on the amount of typing/work needed, and lets you move the video to a different directory without having to edit the script, provided you move the script too. For that matter, .d2v files also support relative paths (the newest beta versions of DGIndex also give the option of using relative paths; before it was only do-able by editing the .d2v yourself).

This is nice to know. Although remaking the .d2v files isn't a real pain for me to do.
