Hello all,

First off, my appologies if this question has been asked before, but i wasn't able to find the answer.

I have installed the latest version of avisynth 2.5.7. Using the latest version of virtualdubmod, if i create a simple avs script in notepad:

version()

Save this script, and set the encoding in save as dialog to "UTF-8" instead "ANSI", virtualdubmod fails to open it with the following error.

avisynth open failure:
unexpected character "i"

Has anyone run into this issue before? Yes i know i can just save it as ANSI and be done with it, but i would like to know how i can fix this with UTF-8 encoding.

OS: Windows 2003 Server.

Thanks,

Yes, save your script as bog standard ordinary ascii text, that is all that is currently supported.

The BOM sequence, "", at the start of the UTF-8 file will choke Avisynth.

This issue re supporting UTF-8 and/or unicode is being discussed here
