AviSynth error in virtualdub

Ravensoldier22 · Post by **Ravensoldier22** » Sat May 03, 2008 8:52 pm

So I'm following a guide I found on the org that shows you how to work with dvd fooage. I got all the way to the point where I have to open up an .avs script in virtualdub, but everytime I try, it says something like:

Avisynth open failure:
Avisynth: script open failed!

anyone?

Err, are you opening a video file or a script? If you're opening a script, can you post the code that you have in the script? (Just open it in notepad and copy and paste it.)

If it's a video file, make sure you're using the proper AviSynth template.

I'm trying to open the script. as follows:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth2.5\plugins\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth2.5\plugins\Decomb521.dll")
MPEG2Source("C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Videos\Edit projects\LovehinaAgain 1.d2v")

I dunno what's wrong with it tho

if you got avisynth from AMVApp, you shouldn't need the LoadPlugin lines. dunno if that will solve the problem, but it is unnessecary.

Does it say anything else?

Maybe screenshot it? Dunno if that would really help much with this, though.

I don't even know how to screenshot stuff...shows how much of a noob I am

but yeah, that's all it says

This got posted in another thread when someone else was having a different problem. I don't know if it will help your problem or not, but I'm having trouble thinking of what the problem might be:

LantisEscudo wrote:The [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.

Open the .avs file in notepad, click on save as. On the save as screen, be sure the little box on the bottom labeled "Encoding" is set to ANSI. Save.

If all else fails, you could always try uninstalling and reinstalling, as lame as that is. =\

I've just about given up...nothing works

is there any way to work with dvd footage without scripting, and not lose quality?

I'm working with pinnacle studio and just ripping vobs and converting them to mp4, but the end result quality is crap. I didn't know working with dvds could be so frusturating

...yeah, it is kinda hard to narrow it down from your info... so I'll just take some random stabs... [some obvious... some not...]

-you don't have avisynth installed
-you don't have all the programs from the AMVapp installed
-the path to your .d2v file is wrong
-you moved/renamed your d2v file, resulting in above
-the plugins aren't in your plugin folder
-you don't have file extensions showing, so you might actually be trying to open a file named blahscript.avs.txt but looks like blahscript.avs to you

...as far as other methods of deinterlacing go... ... I got nuttn'
