I'm definitely not apposed to using AviSource or ffmpegsource. I'm a developer but new to AviSynth, I'm just trying to get this server setup with similar drivers, filters, and codecs as my Windows 7 machine, so it can run the same scripts.

When I tried using AviSource and ffmpegsource, I got the same error. I was still using x264 to run the AVS script though, is that correct? I believe x264 is the issue here since Windows Server 2008 SP2 doesn't come with it, and I can't seem to get it to install (the update mentioned above is for R2 only). If I can just install filters and codes to the avisynth plugins folder and not rely on the OS at all, I'm all for it, I just need to know what to setup. I have the AVI_plugins_Compressed.rar from the general post area but I'm not sure which of the filters if any are relevant to this.

One thing I just thought of, I'm using "x264 core:115 r2008 4c552d8" from a Windows 7 machine (64 bit) on the Windows Server 2008 machine (32 bit). Is it possible that's a 64 bit executable, or that it's not compatible with the 32 bit OS? It does load images on the server, just not video which has led me to think it's codec or filter related. Or more likely that it's looking for 64 bit filters and codecs that don't exist? I'm trying the 32 bit x264 and ffdshow from here now: http://x264.nl/

AVS Script:
video0 = DirectShowSource("video0.avi", fps=30, pixel_type="RGB24", Audio=false)
video1 = DirectShowSource("video1.avi", fps=30, pixel_type="RGB24", Audio=false)
Dissolve(video0, video1, 30)

Command Line:
x264 test.avs -o test.mp4 --bframes 3 --ref 3 --vbv-maxrate 2500 --vbv-bufsize=25000 --level 40 --threads
