AVi Synth Help

Alright i've been trying out different scripts for awhile and i'm really not getting anywhere. =/

I type in...

DirectShowSource("C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\balthezspirit.avi")
BicubicResize(320,240)

And then when I go to play it on Windows Media I can't here the audio.

Replace <b>DirectShowSource</b> with <b>AVISource</b>. See if it works then.

If you're working with an .AVI file, you should always try AVISource first.

When I replace DirectShowSource with AVISource, the video doesn't appear at all.

My .avi video is located on my desktop, so would the correct location link be:

AVISource("C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\blah.avi") ?

I type that in, but I get nothing when I try and play it on Windows Media.

If not, could you please tell me one that would work? Thanks.

Sounds like you have an old version of avisynth.

are you using dv type 1 encoded avi (a directshow codec)?
i've had trouble loading dv type 1 into virtualdub. there is a program that will allow you to convert it to dv type 2, with which i've had more success with loading to virtualdub. you can download it at http://www.ulead.com/download/dvconverter/download.htm

i know that windows movie maker exports its dv encoded AVIs in dv type 1. so if you saved the movie in windows movie maker, you can try that program.

and use directshowsource for dv.

AVS is significantly farther along than that. Get the newest AMVApp which has the newest AVS.

I downloaded AMVApp. This is what happens now...

DirectShowSource("C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\video.avi")
BicubicResize(320,240)

Just a black screen with no volume.

AVISource("C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\video.avi")
BicubicResize(320,240)

I get a script error.

You uninstalled the old one, right?

Yes I did.
