VDubMod, .d2v, avs problem?

AaronAMV · Post by **AaronAMV** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 11:55 am

When I load the avs into VDubMod, it gives me AVISource(C:dsfs), I can't get it to be MPEG2source(C:dfs) >_<
What's wrong?

You can't type? (or designate drives properly)

When I load the avs it gives me AVISource, and if I change it to the MPEG2source by just typing, it gives me some error.

so do the changes in notepad instead of in VDM?

In notepad, it is as MPEG2source("C:dasd"). That's the problem.

Mmm, maybe the plugin isn't being loaded properly? Dunno, but, at the top of the script, try putting:

Code: Select all

LoadPlugin("C:\file path to plugin\mpeg2dec.dll")

May not work, but it's all I can think of at the moment.

Hey AaronAMV,

1) Make sure you're not using "Open video file via AVISynth" (VDubMod 1.5.4 and earlier) or using the "Use AVISynth template" option in the open dialog (VDubMod 1.5.10).

2) I think your script needs a backslash after the "C:". ^^>;

3) What is the error you get when you use MPEG2Source?

I hope this helps. Thanks again and have fun!! ^_^

Scintilla.

Oh, you know what, Scintilla's post made me think of one other thing to add to this. The file path inside the parentheses also needs quotations around it.

Scintilla.

So I'm assuming you're talking about version 1.5.4.1 also? O.o
And then what should I use to open up the avs?
Err, how should I open it?

You just open it like a normal file. When you say "Use AVISynth template" to open the file (or "Open video file via AVISynth"), what the program is essentially going to want to do is make an AVISynth script to call another AVISynth script, which won't work.

That option is if you want to open a video file via AVISynth. An .avs file is not a video file; it's just a script that calls a video file.

Basically, you should be able to just drag and drop the .avs file into the Vdub window and have it open. There's no special method to opening it.
