GODAM .DLL FILES! trouble installing AVIsynth

[Pyle]

I downloaded AD's AMVapp software and I'm trying to follow along with the DVD ripping part. He keeps on talking about plugins and shit that I don't understand, but I follow his directions and put all of the example avs text files in.

Then I press enter on the text file. Nothing happens. I do the plugin shit below it. Nothing happens.

Now I think you have to do something with the AVIsynth .dll file, but when I open it up in notepad, 40 thousand pages of bullshit appear in front of me.

And if you can't tell, I'm rather pissed off by it . Can anyone tell me what the hell I'm supposed to do?

For one thing, you can't have it in .txt format. You have to have it as .avs. Second, you use "Open With" and open it with whatever.

I did that. It was already in avs format. The text was there and I put in the right destination. I'll even write it on here.

MPEG2Source("F:\Kurumi1\DVD1.d2v")
LoadPlugin("C:\AVSFilters\MPEG2DEC.DLL")

That is right, isn't it? It's an AVS file. What the friggin problem?

[Kalium]

Wrong command order. Loading the plugin is what allows you to use the MPEG2Source command. Thus, you have to load the plugin first. To keep it simple, just put all your plugin loads at the top of the file, and everything else beneath that.

[Pyle]

Oh pimp. Those instructions have now warped my fragile little mind.

What you mean is(I'm stupid, sorry) write it like this:?

LoadPlugin("C:\AVSFilters\MPEG2DEC.DLL")
MPEG2Source("F:\Kurumi1\DVD1.d2v")


How do you activate the .dll file that Avisynth comes in?

How do you activate the .dll file that Avisynth comes in?

AVISynth kicks into gear <s>and brings you lots of cheer</s> automatically when you open your .AVS file with a media player or other video program; it does all its work behind the scenes. You just have to install it first, and then all you have to do after that is write scripts.

How do you activate the .dll file that Avisynth comes in?

You install it, and the installer registers AVISynth as a media handler for *.avs files.

As a simple example, think of AVISynth scripts as programs, AVISynth as an interpreter, and VirtualDub(Mod) as a front-end. You load the script via the front-end; the front-end passes the script to the interpreter. The interpreter executes the script and passes the results back to its caller, i.e. VirtualDubMod, which gives the results back to you.

Or, even easier, you can think of AVISynth as a programmable codec: you feed it scripts, it decodes those scripts and gives you video data back. It's not quite technically correct, but from the perspective of manifested behavior, it works.

When I run the basic wov import.avs file, I get a WMV that says 'UNRECOGNIZED EXCEPTION' with the file name below it.

Do I haev to run the MPEG2 plugin somwhere?

Are you trying to open a wmv with an avisynth script? What program are you trying to open it in? If you're trying to open it in VirtualDub you'll have to give a command so it uses the directshow filter.

What is the script in your avs file, and where are you opening it?
