Play the script in Windows Media Player or VirtualDub(/Mod) and tell us what you get.

Thats probably the problem right there. If the file is an avi, you have to use AVISource and not MPEG2Source.

Does It Matter Though Because even when i use showdirectsource it says the same thing.

Yes, it matters.

MPEG2Source() should be your first choice for MPEG streams (preferably after indexing with DVD2AVI); it also won't work on anything else.
AVISource() should be your first choice for AVI files; it also won't work on anything else.
DirectShowSource() should only be used when neither of the other two work (some DV AVIs), or on things like .WMVs.

And by the way, <b>showdirect</b>source doesn't even exist.

I mean directshowsource anyway Avisource worked on the avi file like ya said.So I can see it but The same thing still happens when I try to use a d2v file instead of the avi.

It really helps us to help you if you post the error wmp/vdub spits out at you and your entire scrips. It may just be some conflict between the vob's/d2v/avs. Try making new d2v files maybe, or if you're fed up, delete everything and start over from the begining if there is no problem there and you're convinced your scrips are flawless.

I've done that many time but what I am saying is the d2v files still are blank and 15 seconds longs when i import them (i'm importing the avs scripts meant to read the d2v files) just so you know.

all it says when trying to play it in windows media player is

AVISource:couldn't open file
(C:\Inu Yasha Movie 2\New Text Document.avs,line 1)
