Problem with dgindex/avs

Pseven21 · Post by **Pseven21** » Wed Apr 23, 2008 5:10 pm

I recently used DVD Decrypter to rip a dvd.

After following directions from a friend, I used Dgindex, and added all the .VOB's from the dvd i had just ripped. (This is where everything goes wrong) When I go to save the project i just made, it finishes in 1 or 2 minutes.

The problem is, when i close Dgindex, and double click on the project file i just made, an error pops up:
"No Video Sequence Header Found!"
The project file is a blank. None of the .VOB's i added and saved are there. Just blank blackness.
But when i open the project file through Dgindex (File>Load Project) All the videos I added when i first saved it opens. So I think, okay, probably nothing's wrong.

So i go and make an .avs with notepad (YES, i did install avisynth to make compatible with notepad). I copy and Paste: mpeg2source("C:\Users\Hyun Jin Kim\Videos\ani\sotsm.m2v") (the absolute location of the project file) I save the file as unicode, *All Files*, .AVS. The saved file is a avisynth script. So i think everything is going well.
I open Vdub mod (the one that comes with amvapp) and open the .avs file i just saved. ERROR:

Avisynth open failure:
unexpected character " "

I have absolutely no idea what that means. The avs file won't open in adobe premiere CS3 either.

I've followed all the correct steps

and YES, I did rip the dvd correctly!

Please help me!!

I dunno where that's coming from, but a DGIndex project file should have a .d2v file extension. m2v is an mpeg2 video stream.

Oddly enough, MPEG2Source won't open .m2v files. It needs a .d2v file, so point your script in that direction.

my mistake, the project file is .d2v, i dunno why i put .m2v

I changed it in notepad, but the same error pops up in vdub.

The "Unexpected Character" error makes me think that AviSynth doesn't like script files saved as Unicode text. If you have the option, try saving your avs file as ASCII or ANSI text instead of Unicode.
