Coded avs file errors

[teeman]

Can anybody help me with this error I get when trying to open the avs file in Virtual dub.

I have pasted my error below. I am not familiar with coding I believe I typed everything as it should if not could you please advise or send me to the proper help link

I run Win 7 64 bit
Adobe premier cs3
virtual dub
dbug frame server


aviSource("tomspractice.avi")
FlipHorizontal
greyscale

I get the following error

Virtual Dub Error

Avisynth open failure
avisource autodetect: couldn't open file "tomspractice.avi"
error code 2

(F:\manitougreenscreen\VIDEO\tomspractise.avs, line 1)

The beginning lesson would not open in wmp following your script

Never seen this error before, so just a stab in the dark:

Do you know what codec the video is encoded in? (AVI is a container, it could be Xvid, DivX, etc)

If you know what codec the video is encoded in, then you should find out whether or not you have the proper codec tools installed so you can decode it.

error code 2 = ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND

"tomspractice.avi" is not found in the same directory as "F:\manitougreenscreen\VIDEO\tomspractise.avs"

haha wow.. how did I even miss that:stupid:

[teeman]

error code 2 = ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND

"tomspractice.avi" is not found in the same directory as "F:\manitougreenscreen\VIDEO\tomspractise.avs"

I feel so stupid I will retry and again I apologize, I never noticed it.

Thanks Teeman

Is the avi file in the same directory (folder) as the script file? If not, you will need to use the full path name.

Your not telling avisynth where the file is.
