help with Avisynth

[localfinesse1]

Ok I am using the tut on vcdhelp.com. I am lost on this part. The tut says this (read below) When I open a txt doc. it saves it as .....avs.txt. why? The tut says it should be ....avs only not txt. do I need a nother plugin besides the Avisynth one? please please help I want to learn so bad.
Thanks


"Now onto the Avisynth script.

Open up a new text document and save it as whatever.avs under file name and set it to all files under save as file type.

Open your new whatever.avs file.

First off we are going to load the mpeg2dec.dll in the script you do that with the loadplugin command and then the destination of the file. "

Make sure that the filetype field in the save dialog box says All Files (*.*) and NOT Textfile (*.txt).

or force the .ext by enclosing the filename in quotes

I tried that before I posted the message but that did not work.

or force the .ext by enclosing the filename in quotes

that did work though. Thanks

What program do I use to load the plugin? And how? Thanks

take a look at the avisynth command reference @ www.videotools.net or the tutorial @ http://www.math.berkeley.edu/~benrg/avisynth.html if you are completely lost

#mpeg2dec script example
LoadPlugin("[...path...]\MPEG2DEC.DLL")
mpeg2source("[...path...\DVD2AVIoutput.d2v]")
