new to avisynth, problem with opening in virtualdubmod

[Kaze_no_natsu]

so, i've been tryin to figure out how to use this avisynth thing and need some help. I was following the "vicbond007's guide to working with dvd" (well kind of) and I have all the files needed, wrote up the first part of the script:

LoadPlugin("absolute location")
LoadPlugin("absolute locaton")
Mpeg2Source("absolute loc")

I then try to open it in virtualdubmod and it says "cannot determine file type of (absolute location of file)"

any help pls?

Vicbond's guide is outdated, use this guide instead: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtechbeta/.
Also, for your specific problem... you do have the actual absolute location (eg: "C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\FFT3DFilter.dll") of the files you need and not just "absolute location", right?

ya, the actual location is there ("D:\Media\Videos\FLCL\FLCL 1\decomb521.dll")

thanks for the link, hopefully this will work for me

still getting the same error
It opens the .vob fine though... I feel like i'm going in circles

i think i figured it out, I re-installed avisynth outside the folder i had it in (the default install folder) and now it seems to be working.

BTW is there a way to just edit your previous posts, instead of new posts each time?

Thanks again for the help.

Only on certain boards (I believe they are: Site Announcements, AMV Announcements, AMV Contests, possibly Anime Conventions, possibly AMV Recommendations).

Multi Editor Projects too.

Also for future reference, AviSynth (and even DGIndex) can recognize and use relative paths. It isn't restricted to only using absolute paths. I hardly ever use absolute paths in my scripts, and they work fine.

Code: Select all

AVISource("C:\junk\etc\video\test.avi")

works just as well as

Code: Select all

AVISource("test.avi")

so long as the script is in the directory with the file you want to open.



Heck, even semi-absolute paths work, like

Code: Select all

AVISource("video\test.avi")

use DGIndex, to make .d2v
