Saving AviSynth script to file

[Leo48]

Trying to save the output of an AviSynth script to .avi I tried Avs2Avi but hit nothing but errors.
Is there a tool you recommend?
And is there a tool to save to the .mov format?
Your help most appreciated.

There are dozens of encoders that can use avisynth scripts.

What kind of errors did you receive? Perhaps there is an error in your script? Can you open the script to playback in mpc?

Virtualdub is a favorite of many people if your output is .avi

I don't know of any that can output .mov from .avs

FFmpeg can.

Simple example:

ffmpeg -i script.avs -vcodec libx264 -acodec libfaac out.mov

Other...
Actual MediaCoder can open Avisynth scripts and can transcode to QuickTime.

Thanks everybody for your help.

@poisondeathray:

I get the error 'statsfile not found' and then an error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:\Video\AvsP\tools\avs2avi_gui.py", line 206, in OnButtonRunStop
ctypes.windll.user32.SendMessageA(self.jobInfo['pid'], WM_CLOSE, 0, 0)
NameError: global name 'ctypes' is not defined

I'm not sure what that error means. Do you have the current version of avisynth installed

Can you play your .avs in MPC properly, if not there is likely a problem with your script syntax. If so, post your script here.

I get the error 'statsfile not found' and then an error message:

Either you're trying to run the 2nd pass without first having run the first pass, or else you didn't specify a location for the stats file to be saved.

I don't know what that other gibberish means. But then I don't use AvsP either.

AviSynth version is 2.57, scripts are playing in MPC.

As for the encoding, I don't run anything, I just call
the avs2avi command from the AvsP tools menu.
