Avisynth error code 2

[Rotwang Gorbochoff]

Hi I'm new to Avisynth and have been following guides to get started but I can not even get past the simple first line step. I can put in anything I want as a directory and save it as an .avs file and when I go to load that file with MPC or VirtualdubMOD I'll get an error code 2.

code used:
avisource("D:\Recordings\Movies\TombRaider1.avi")

Try it:

avisource("TombRaider1.avi")

or

DirectShowSource("TombRaider1.avi")

Put .avs in same folder on video. Remember, type correct name video on .avs file.

Try MEGUI, its has awesome avs script creator, using various filters to set.

It's always possible that your experience will be different from mine, but when I've used MeGUI to create a script for me, I've had to make such extensive changes to get the scripts to even work that I've seriously questioned whether it was worth having it create the script at all.

One tip: Use original Virtualdub instead VdubMOD). Go to this link and download all Virtualdub import plugins/filters

For viewing the results of AviSynth scripts VirtualDub Mod works just as well as VirtualDub. In any case, it would not cause this particular error. I believe error code 2 means the folder was found but the specific file was not. Make sure the file name is correct.
