VirtualDub problem - error during script execution

[ineedhelp123]

Whenever I open my script ex-DirectShowSource("C:\Documents and Settings\KD\Desktop\BLEACH - 166 RAW.mkv") in virtualdub it gives me this error ex-
"error during script execution at line 1, column 17: Variable 'DirectShowSource' not found
DirectShowSource<!>("C:\Documents and Settings\KD\Desktop\BLEACH - 166 RAW.mkv") "

I re-installed it and my problem went away..but a new one arose.
Now it says "Error!:Statsfile not found" and after i click ok it shows another error "Virtualdub Error:Cannot start video compression- The operation is not supported.(error code -1)".....What can I do to fix this problem? Its so frustrating, all I want to do is convert an mkv file

Either you're trying to run the 2nd pass without first having run the first pass, or you didn't set a name and destination for the stats file.

[ineedhelp123]

Yay, I got it to work thanks to manono but Virtualdub crashed so i tryed again but still no success
it shows this error whenever it crashes "An out-of-bounds memory access (access violation) occurred in module 'libavcodec'...
...reading address 00000000."

...............?

[ineedhelp123]

Can I do something to fix this problem?........

[ineedhelp123]

Please! Can someone reply on how to fix this, its quite frustrating.

what gspot report about the original? from the file name it might be some sort of transport stream and not a program stream.

[ineedhelp123]

Gspot? What is that.... Its an mkv file with a h.264 stream and an aac stream but VirtualDub crashes when i try to save it as an avi

[KBeee]

VDub sometimes has problems with *.mkv's, try something like alltoavi and convert to Xvid or DivX

[ineedhelp123]

So there's no way to fix this besides switching to a different converter?...God Damnit!!

[ineedhelp123]

-bump- I still need help, does anyone know how to fix my VIRTUALDUB problem?

[jagabo]

If you're using AviSynth to open your MKV file then VirtualDub isn't the problem. There is a problem in your DirectShow MKV file splitter or the codec that's decoding the video (ffdshow?).

In my experience, MKV is mostly a write only format. It can be very difficult to convert to anything else.

[ineedhelp123]

If its its the mkv splitter how can i fix this?

[guns1inger]

Re-install the splitter components or update them to the latest versions

[jagabo]

Your h.264 stream may be using PAFF and MBAFF which older versions of ffdshow didn't support. Update ffdshow if you haven't already. Or get CoreAVC.
