I'd just grab the version that's in the AMVapp. You don't have to install everything that comes with the app, though none of it really hurts to have around.

What codec are your videos compressed with?

Huffy. The original videos I'm putting into the AVS scripts look and run just fine on their own.

No good.

The version of HuffYUV used to encode versus the one AviSynth is using to decode are incompatible. Are you using FFDShow's HuffYUV decoder? If so, configure FFDShow (the VFW part) to not decode HuffYUV.

I don't think so. I went into FFDshow's VFW Configuration and it showed Huffy to be disabled already. I tried switching it to the other option, just for kicks, but no good.

lol that looks just like my preview screen in premiere right before the program is about to crap itself. But that's never happened to me in Vdub though.
Except for that time >.> when a certain editor sent me a MEP segment and broke my huffyuv but that was masses of rainbows not what you're getting.

A re-install like the king suggested fixed it for me, but are you sure the file itself isn't corrupted?

I already tried reinstalling, but got nothing. Do you mean the original video files? They look just fine when viewed on their own. But when view them through an avs script, they look terrible.

post your script

I really don't think it's the script. I tried taking out each line of filter to find if one of them was causing the problems. Then I tried taking out every line until nothing but the AVIsource was left and even the bare bones script looked terrible. And it's five AVS scripts doing this; two from Wild Arms: Alter Code F, two from Wild Arms 3, and one from Wild Arms 4.

I'll go ahead and post two, just cause otherwise it's a lot of script to post.
