how can i input avi (xvid) in megui??

[crb]

i am trying to re-encode avi file (xvid codec) to x264 using megui....but can't seem to input the avi file in it.
In megui menu tools> avisynth script creator> video input my avi file....then megui crashes!!why??

also tried to creat an avs file with note pad with following command
DirectShowSource("c:\path\filename.avi")

this avs when opened on MPC plays fine .....but when i open it in windows media player , it crashes...similarly when i try to input the avs file in megui it crashes as well.......

any suggestion how to get meguui to accept my avi files....... i am able to encode vob to mkv in megui ..but not avi(xvid) to mkv.....please help...thank you

What kind of audio? Did you specify audio=false in your script?

What version of MeGUI? are you using the development branch?

What version of avisynth? Try uninstalling and reinstalling only keeping minimal plugins

As an aside, why would you want to encode an XviD .avi to x264 .mkv ? You only lose quality

got it....uninstall and reinstall of avisynth seems to have done the trick.....thank you..........now any idea on how i can get the audio tooo............it's Mpeg A L 3 in the avi.........can't seem to be able to create d2v file for this???
as for why avi xvid to mkv x264, just want to do some experiments of my own ,,thats all..tryin to seem if i can maintain fair amt of quality at reduced bitrate.........thank you

wow megui seems to be able to handle avi file as source in the audio input ...so problem solved then.....thanks poisondeathray for your uninstall and reinstall suggestions........thank you.
