can't open .avs in virtualDub

[Megacan]

Hello.

I write a simple avs script that concatenates a couple of clips together. When I open it in wmp or mpc or even virtualDubMod it plays fine, but when I try to open it in virtualDub i throws "Cannot determine file type..."

The files:
video codec name = DivX 4(Open DivX)
stream Type = OpenDMLAVI
bitrate = 585kb/s
FPS = 25.00

and the script is:

AVISource("file1.avi", audio=false) +
AVISource("file2.avi", audio=false) +
AVISource("file3.avi", audio=false) +
AVISource("file4.avi", audio=false)

I tried searching in the forum but I didn't find a topic that covered this.

tks in advance for the help

The codec IS installed, right?

Did you try DirectShowSource instead of AVISource?

Aw man!!
It's been so long.....

Do you have it as an entire string??
If not, then you should have it like this

AVISource("file1.avi", audio=false) + \
AVISource("file2.avi", audio=false) + \
AVISource("file3.avi", audio=false) + \
AVISource("file4.avi", audio=false)

kschang: I have the codec installed, I can play the avs in mpc, wmp and VirtualDubMod. And I tried with DirectShowSource and the result is the same.

pijetro: I have it all in one line, but thanks for the tipo :P

Its weird and I don't now how to deal with this problem. :\

edit: I can open the original files in VirtualDub, I just can't open he avs

Not to sound anal here, but you don't seem to have the "\Path" of the .AVI file listed..
Copy and paste the exact .AVS file you have..

I've been burned on typos before....

Sorry for my slow replies, I havent had a change to be online very often. Anyway, here's the exact script:

AVISource("D:\clip01.avi", audio=false) + \
AVISource("D:\clip02.avi", audio=false) + \
AVISource("D:\clip03.avi", audio=false) + \
AVISource("D:\clip04.avi", audio=false)

Is it necessary to have so plugin or something extra installed in virtualDub folder or something like that? Because its weird, VirtualDubr is the only one that can't open the file :\

Thanks for the help

What version of VirtualDub are you using? Have you tried an uninstall/reinstall of VDub?

[Megacan]

Ok, so it turns out I was using VirtualDub 1.3c, the one with ASF/WMV support. I downloaded the wrong version . And that was kind of dumb.

So I installed VirtualDub 1.6.14 and everything is working fine, thanks for the help.
