Saving an avs to avi without Virtualdub?

[Various]

Hi folks,

I have a complex avs file that when I try to open it with Virtualdub results in Virtualdub crashing.

Is there any way for me to open an avs and then save it to an avi without using Virtualdub?

Incidentally I cannot use Avidemux because I have Windows98.
Thanks.

ffmpeg can use Avisynth input and possibly mencoder. You could also look at the sticky thread in this forum about command line utilities.

mencoder has better support for avs than ffmpeg.

try avs2avi

try avs2avi
Hmmm... avs2avi is based on the code of some earlier version of VirtualDub, so it might not work as well. Can't hurt to try, though...

I have a complex avs file that when I try to open it with Virtualdub results in Virtualdub crashing. Don't you think you ought to investigate the reason for that? Most likely, the problem is in the script, so it may not help to try to encode the same script some other way.

exactly.
especially as the problem remains so loosely undefined.
