open notepad, open your .avs file.
highlight everything (either with your mouse or by pressing ctrl+a)
copy (ctrl+c)
open up your browser and navigate to here
hit the "post reply" button
make sure your cursor is in the text field, and then paste (ctrl+v)

some people find it helpful to use the code tags (which I've explained above)

given he doesn't know what you meant, i assume he hasn't modified the script which was generated. which should be something like

mpeg2source("filepath\filename.dv2")

Here it is.

Code: Select all

mpeg2source("C:\Program Files\Ben's Stuff\Ben's Video\My Movies\Cowboy bebop\Episode 23.d2v")

Good. You need to load the plugin like Kariudo said. So your new script should look like this:

Code: Select all

LoadPlugin("C:\path\dgdecode.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\Program Files\Ben's Stuff\Ben's Video\My Movies\Cowboy bebop\Episode 23.d2v")

where "path" is the path to the folder where dgdecode is. If you use Windows and installed AviSynth in the default directory then your script will probably read like this:

Code: Select all

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\Plugins\dgdecode.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\Program Files\Ben's Stuff\Ben's Video\My Movies\Cowboy bebop\Episode 23.d2v")

Code: Select all

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\Plugins\dgdecode.dll")
....

Shouldn't it autoload, since it's a dll in the plugins folder?

out of curiosity...what version of AviSynth comes with the amvapp?
DGdecode only works with avisynth 2.5+
...that might be the problem.

to find out what version you have, open up notepad and put the line
version()
as the only thing in your script. (then save as .avs)
then open it in virtualdub(/mod)

According to the program, I have AVI 2.5...

Millions Legato · Post by **Millions Legato** » Wed Dec 06, 2006 12:09 am

Okay..so I typed

Code: Select all

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\Ben's Stuff\Ben's Video\AMV Making Programs\Avisynth 2.5\plugins\DGDecode.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\Program Files\Ben's Stuff\Ben's Video\My Movies\Cowboy bebop\Episode 23.d2v")

into Notepad..now what must I do with it..keep in mind that a step by step guide will definitely be appreciated.
