AviSynth open failure in VirtualDub

[fatcharlie]

I cannot get Virtual Dub, or WMP to open my script. I have installed AviSynth 2.5.8 to C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5, extracted (no installer exe) DGMPGDec 1.5.8 to C:\Program Files\DGMPGDec, and extracted (no installer exe) Virtual Dub 1.9.11 to C:\Program Files\VirtualDub. I then cut the DGDecode.dll from the DGMPGDec folder and pasted it to the plugins folder of AviSynth. I opened a DVD Rip .vob file in DGIndex to make a .d2v file, saved it in C:\Movies as VTS_01_1.d2v. Here is my script:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\DGDecode.dll")
MPEG2Source("C:\movies\VTS_01_1.d2v")

Any Ideas? Virtual Dub sits there for a few minutes then I get a message screen that says:

AviSynth open failure:
Evaluate: System Exception - Access Violation
(C:\Movies\E01.avs, line 2)

All three programs were downloaded from author sites.

Nevermind, I figured it out. My original .vob files were on a USB stick. I moved them to C:\Movies, made a new .d2v file, saved in C:\Movies, removed the path from line 2, and wham-bam. It works.

Why do I get the feeling this is bait set up by the other group and I'm falling for it? Oh well, whatever. So long as it helps me...here goes...

Charlie, I'm having the same trouble, but my vob files ARE saved in the computer. Virtualdub will NOT open my d2v file no matter what.

Any suggestions?

Is your avs script saved in the same location as your .d2v file? It could be a path problem.

The script doesn't have to be in the same location as the d2v file if you use a full pathname in the AVS script. Do not delete, move, or rename the MPG file because the d2v file is only an index. dgdecode.dll reads frames from the MPG file using the d2v file simply as a map to quickly locate the frames.

Hey Charlie...

Please read my "completely new to avisynth" post...but forget about section 1 as it's mostly my foolishness. 3 and 4 you can read from, ESPECIALLY the last one I posted tonight. Your input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
