Vdub Noob needs some explanation

[LOGiC]

@all,

I am very new to using VDub and therefore am very unexperienced with the program. If I do violate any of the rules by asking this, I beg for your pardon please. I don't know where else to ask for this.

Someone gave me a script line (actually it's just one line) and I really don't know which ending it has to be. I tried .jobs but it didn't work to open with Vdub. The line is quite simple. It just reads:

"directshowsource("Drive:\Testfile.mpv")"

How do I put this into an editor using which ending to bring it to vdub or vdubmod ? Do I need to have " before direct... and behind ) ?

I tried a couple of different endings and writings, sometimes I was shown error parsing xxx in line 1, after I cutted off the " he gave me unable to find variable directshowsource.

Which programs/filters do I need to install/register to use this correctly ? Once again I just can apologize for this surely lame question, but everyone of us started once, so I hope for your patience.

Thank you very much in advance.

Regards.

thats most likely avisynth script line.

That's an avisynth script line

Do this.

- Open 'Notepad'
- In there type:
directshowsource("Drive:\Testfile.mpv")
You do not need the extra " " that you had in your post.
-Then save that the files as filename.avs

Then just drag that file into VirtualDubMod and that's it.

Have you got AviSynth installed ? If not, you need to install it.

That's the very basics of avisynth. You can do a lot more with it. There are hundreds of filters that you can apply in that script to improve the video (resize, sharpen, smoothen, add text, . . . ).

Btw, I think it should really be:
directshowsource("Drive:\Testfile.mpv",25)
where 25 is the framerate of the video.

Thank you very much for your explanations. I will figure this out this evening and try to take some time to learn something about handling avisynth.
