WHAT THE @#%&!!!! Picture quality issues

Okay, so I finally got through all the cleaning of the videos and even managed to save some of the footage into clips. So I open up my next vid to save, and get this.

What the hell? I had already finished adding all the filters and what not the last time I looked at the vid on virtual dub. I had saved it and everything and it looked great. Now it looks terrible and I don't understand why. I haven't added any new filters that would make it look like. Not only this clip, but all the videos with footage from PS2 games that I ripped look like this now. All the Psone footage is still fine.

I played the original videos on two different media players and they're normal. I tried restarting my comp and reopening virtual dub to see if it was just a glitch. I tried removing each filter I'd added one by one until nothing but the AVISource is left and nothing. I tried making a completely new script and opening it in VirtualDub; nothing. The only clue I have is that when I open my vids in VirtualDub, a long black line appears under the timeline marker that extends for the whole clip. How can I fix this?

A pure guess (since i can't see the image) - did you make sure to set vdub's output settings to be 24-bit instead of the 16-bit it defaults to on install?

It's borked on five different avs scripts? In such a way that they all have that exact glitchy look on all five clips? Cause it's not just this one vid it's doing this on, it's five vids that just a few days ago looked just fine and ready to be saved for editing. I mean, I can go ahead and post all the scripts, but I have generally similar scripts for the vids that have the PSone footage, and there's nothing wrong with them.

I could move the vids to a simpler destination path, I guess.

I don't know, but if was wrong since the initial install, why would it suddenly show up now?

You misunderstand me. The picture you tried to post, doesn't display.

Ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh, that picture. Sorry. I'm not sure what's wrong; I'm seeing it okay when I look at the thread. Is there problems because it's a bmp?

Well duh, that's the point of the thread.

You might just try reinstalling AviSynth. It's a hassle, but I don't know why that would start happening unless something is wrong with AviSynth, itself. You won't have to rewrite the scripts or anything, so it may be worth a try, at least.

Yeah, that doesn't sound like a bad idea. I recently updated to 2.0, I think. What's the most recent version I can get?
