So.. I have to disinstall AviSynth and go searching the older version?
k, I'll try that.
No, that's version 1.9 of FFmpegSource, not AviSynth. It's meant for the current version of AviSynth (the 2.5 series, which is included in the AMVapp).

It's in the AMVApp 3 beta... >.>

Anyway - seems that I didn't get here by time.. Will add this to my problem-solving list

Which is? AviSynth is a given, are you referring to the FFmpegSource plugin? Even if that plugin is in there, it'd have to have been revised fairly recently to have v1.9, since that was only released a couple days ago. Versions of the plugin before 1.9 have a stack overflow error that occurs for some files, notably MKVs, although I think it would happen on others as well. Version 1.9 fixes that and adds some other functionality which make it better suited even though it's marked as a FLAC audio cache testing build.

You need to enter a framerate for directshowsource.

(put FFmpegSource.dll in AviSynth's plugins folder, and everything else in C:\WINDOWS\system32, overwriting any duplicates that occur)

Wow. I clearly underestimate the helpfulness of just searching the forum for what it is that I need to know. I don't know who to thank, exactly, for all of this useful information.

I was having problems getting mp4s, and otherwise wonky formats to be able to be converted into mpeg2s for playback on DVDs. This method works flawlessly. I can now bring AMVs outside of my computer to those friends of mine who are less fortunate and are unable to render h264 and mp4 videos.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I wasted nearly 20 hours trying to do this on my own beforehand.

There's a great program called MediaCoder I had recommended to me. It easily converts MP4s to a variety of formats.
