This probably is on the forum already. And I have already asked someone about this. But I'm still confused.

what lines or codes do you have to put in the .avs script to be able open it up in virtualdub?

I keep trying to open my avs script in virtualdub and it gives me an error. [sorry I don't know the exact message because I'm not at my computer right now to check]

This is what I put for my script:
AVISource("File.avi")
ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=true)
SmoothDeinterlace(tff=true,doublerate=false)
Telecide()
Decimate(5)
BicubicResize(480,320)

First of all, take out SmoothDeinterlace(). Using it AND Telecide() followed by Decimate() will not be good, almost ever.

Also, why the resolution of 480x320? Just curious, since it isn't 4:3.

Lastly, if you could post the error message when you do get back to your computer, that would be helpful. Oh, and make sure you're NOT trying to open the script with the "Open file via AVISynth..." option.

Oh. then how would I deinterlace the footage? just put the codes in different order?

well I guess I'll probably make the resolution 720*480. But 480*320 is still a good size for a video.

And yes I think I did try to open it up like what you just said. If not that way how do I open it up in avisynth? because I don't know

If you're just trying to <i>deinterlace</i>, then SmoothDeinterlace may be fine, but get rid of Telecide() and Decimate().

If you're trying to <i>inverse telecine</i> (restore progressive frames and get rid of duplicates to bring the frame rate down the 23.976), then get rid of SmoothDeinterlace and keep Telecide() and Decimate().

Also, what version of AVISynth are you using?
If you're using 2.5.x, then you need to specify an order for Telecide (1=top field first, 0=bottom field first).

Just use the normal "Open video file..." command on VDub's File menu, as if you were opening an AVI.

Thanks I'll see if that helps ^_^

I believe I have the newer avisynth. I had recently downloaded the AMVApp a few weeks ago.
