How to open *.avs in Virtualdub

[DVWannaB]

I have a 352x480 MPEG-2 file that was opened in DVD2AVI and saved a project *.d2v. Opened it in Avisynth and saved script, *.avs. I tried to open in Virtualdub and got this error message:

Avisynth open failure:
Unrecognized exception!
(C:\Winnt\Profiles\......\test.avs, line 7)

I am using Avisynth 2.08, DVD2AVI 1.77 and Virtualdub 1.5.4.

What am I doing wrong here? Thanks.

It says that there is an error on your line 7. Perhaps if you posted your .AVS script, someone here could help you.

Possible SYNTAX error or incorrect file location (or miss-spelled file).

you can try and open the d2v file with "VFAPICodec"
and make a dummy file for virtualdub.

thats what i do when ripping a dvd.
it should work

Here is the avs script:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\MPEG2Dec.dll")

Mpeg2Source("C:\WINNT\Profiles\whylton\Desktop\tes t.d2v")
BilinearResize(320, 446, 0, 0, 352, 480)
AddBorders(16, 17, 16, 17)

Heavensent, I have done your method, I was experimenting with something new.

Now tell us which line is line 7.

Now tell us which line is line 7.

I dont have a clue. It seems like there are only 5 lines in this script. What gives?

[SLK001]

Blank lines count as lines. Open script in NOTEPAD, count down 7 lines, then report same.

The problem seems to be this line:

Mpeg2Source("C:\WINNT\Profiles\whylton\Desktop\tes t.d2v")

Virtual dub doesnt seem to like or recognize the script here. Any hints SLK001?

MPEG2Source can not read DVD2AVI 1.77.3 projects. Go back to DVD2AVI 1.76.

[DVWannaB]

Thanks Truman, I'll give that a go and report back.

You can also use the latest mpeg2dec3 v1.08 which can read 1.76 and 1.77.3 files:
