Avisynth and Windows 64 - advice

[ricardouk]

Hi everyone.
Finally dumped my dual core and upgraded my CPU and Ram and i've been testing the new setup but avisynth is giving me an "headache" as it doesnt work properly under windows 64, ive tried to use avisynth+ but its not compatible with certain programs like Ripbot264 for example...i reverted to windows 8 32bit but most video and photo editors went the 64bit way...adobe...shotcut...hitfilm express etc.

Is there any way of having avisynth+ and having programs like ripbot264 recognize it as avisynth? what have you guys done? i remember installing avisynth 32bit on windows 64 and having issues with playback and plugins that wouldnt work.

thanks for any help.

Windows 8.1
AMD FX 6300
1T HD
8 GB RAM
Nvidia Geforce GT 430

AviSynth 32 bit runs on Windows 64 bit just fine. I would not downgrade. If you want to use AviSynth with software that doesn't know AviSynth or VfW or is not 32 bit/64 bit you can use AviSynth virtual file system (avfs). RipBot264 should work with both AviSynth 2.60 32 bit as well as AviSynth+ 32 bit even without avfs.

RipBot264 should work with both AviSynth 2.60 32 bit as well as AviSynth+ 32 bit even without avfs.

it displays a check screen saying it needs avisynth installed, it wont start with just avisynth+.

interesting...i still have to understand how the whole process works, the script sets up custom folders for diferent avisynth versions, tried to install and it says it cant write to system32, does the script uninstall and install each version of avisynth that is needed? didnt find any setup files with the download...just folders, dlls and the script

thanks sneaker and videobruger for the tips
