Regarding error message "version mismatch..."

[communist]

I just tried to do a usual mpg -> DGIndex -> avs -> VirtualDub and got the "DGIndex/DGDecode mismatch ..." error message. I went ahead and searched all my partitions for a DGDecode.dll file, deleted them and put the appropriate one into my plugin directory. Just to get the message again. I even emptied my plugin dir, but still the same.

It took some time till I realized that the versions were correct but that my avs script was wrong:
MPEG2Source("blah.mpg") istead of MPEG2Source("blah.d2v")
Dont know what bit me there to write this.. ;)

Maybe there could be a small check if its a d2v file at all and the message could be changed to "file is not a d2v file!".
This is with DGIndex/DGDecode 1.4.6

Yeah I agree, it's definitely a confusing and misleading error message. Yours is a worthwhile suggestion; I'll try to find time to fix that.

I often make this error too but with *.m2v (very similar) :)
Please fix it!

Its fixed in the latest beta (1.4.7 beta 7) :)
* Improved the misleading error message a user gets if he erroneously loads a file with MPEG2Source() that is not a D2V project file. Previously it complained about a version mismatch; now it says the file is not a project file.
