Hi,

I have followed this but have received the above error message. Please
tell me what i have done wrong???

Step 2: Avisynth setup & script creation

First of all comes the installation. After unpacking you have to copy AVISYNTH.dll to the following directory:

Windows 9x/ ME: c:\windows\system
Windows NT / 2000: c:\winnt\system
Windows XP: c:\windows\system32

Then double click on install.reg and just to make sure reboot your machine.

Now let's verify that Avisynth is properly installed by creating the following script:

AviSource("c:\temp\test.avi")

Type this line in Notepad, then save it as c:\test.avs. Make sure that the filetype field in the save dialog box says All Files (*.*) and NOT Textfile (*.txt). Now right click on c:\test.avs in explorer, select open-with and select the Media Player from the list. If it plays, everything is good and we can proceed.

The AVI file you open with AVISource has to exists! You can't just put a random filename!

I have that message too and the file DOES exist.
It happens when openning the AVS file, however, it only happens in DVD2SVCD. After exit from DVD2SVCD I can load the AVS file in both CCE and TMPGEnc without a problem. Perhaps that's a problem reading AVI file...
