"Avisynth open failure:
Avisynth: script open failed!"

sorry. it's just that the script worked fine before. I don't really think the script is the problem, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
an aside: man, my computer really hates, WMM doen'st work, media players don't work, AIM crashes every time I open it, Internet Explorer dissappeared, and now this...

Okay, nothing's jumping out at me as clearly wrong, so I'll just go down the whole script rattling off possibilities:

digifreak wrote:LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth2\plugins\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth2\plugins\Decomb521.dll")

If C:\Program Files\AviSynth2\plugins is your default AVISynth plugins directory, then these two lines shouldn't even be necessary.

Make sure you don't have any older versions of the MPEG-2 decoder plugin, like MPEG2Dec.dll, MPEG2Dec3.dll, etc.

If you made your D2V file with DVD2AVI, redo it with DGIndex.

Make sure the path and filename of the D2V are correct.

I'm flattered, but try commenting this out and see if it helps.

digifreak wrote:Telecide(order=0, guide=1, post=4)
Decimate(quality=3)

If nothing else works, comment out both these lines.

And if you get it working, do let me know how good a job the derainbower's doing...

I'm completely new at making AMVs and trying to aspire to something better than working with WMM. I'm just getting a bit overwhelmed.

SO... I have VicBond007's Guide to Working With DVD Footage printed out and I'm using it as my Bible.. but, I am totally unfamiliar with scripting and some of these file types and having some difficulty.

I'm up to the part where it says to open my d2v file in VirtualDub.

This is what I have:

LoadPlugin("E:\Tools\AviSynth2\plugins\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\Tools\AviSynth2\plugins\Decomb521.dll")
MPEG2Source("E:\noir2.d2v", idct=5, CPU=4, iPP=true)

It won't open and I'm fairly certain it's not a problem in the scripting because each time it was wrong the message would refer to the position of the errant coding. I went to open it yet again and it said it was unable to open the d2v. What are some reasons that could be happening? Should I scrap that one and go back and create another one?

Also, I noticed in the previous post the warning about using older versions of the MPEG-2 decoder plugin, MPEG2dec3.dll. That's what I'm using since that was what came with the AMVapp. Will it not work?

Please bear with me, this is all Greek to me but I'm trying to learn. Thanks in advance for your help and time.

did you use dgindex to create your d2v files? there's an older version of dgindex called dvd2avi. if you used dvd2avi to create the d2v files and are now using the latest amvapp, you won't be able to view your d2v files. recreate your d2v files in dvd2avi if that's the case, and even if it's not, it might be a good idea to recreate the d2v files.

I used DVD2AVI. I guess that could be it. I'll go back and try with DGIndex.

Thank you.

If you used DVD2AVI, MPEG2Dec3.dll is ok. With DGIndex you have to use DGDecode.dll - which is the better choice. Make sure that only one MPEG-Decoder is in your plugins folder.

Did you move the .dv2 file from its original location?

Sometimes the .dv2 file is faulty. Try to make it again.

You have set idct=5. Does your CPU support SSE2?

No and I think so.

I guess I'll assume it's faulty and try creating it again.

Thanks!
