[Terka]

cant open avs in vdub (same script can be open by avsp)
any suggestions?

Yesterday, my car didn't start. Can you tell me the cause?

-> what was the error message, etc...

[Terka]

no error message just the vdub window appear and in less than second disappeard. no script is able to be open in vdub.
for example avisource("c:\video.avi"). Same behaviour for all *.avs
In Avsp everything works correctly.

I had the same problem some weeks ago that VD closed every time without any error message I tried to open it. I deleted all video tools together with all installed codecs, then re-installed everything and VD was working again.

I read somewhere in a VD forum that someone had a similar problem. He deleted all registry entries concerning VD... and then VD was working again for him.

check your avisynth plugins directory (usually c:\program files\avsynth2.5\plugins\ ) .. or better, rename it and reopen the avs

And :script:

[Terka]

script:
avisource("c:\video.avi")
deleted registry using
auxsetup.exe (in vdub directory), uninstalled handler using auxsetup.exe, reinstalled avisynth

[Terka]

so after reinstal xp sp2, install avisynth 2.7.
script is:
avisource("c:\video.avi")
this video can be open by virtualdub using file-open, but not using avs script.
avsp can open the *.avs without problems. no codecs installed except cedocida (and ffdshow).
in avisynth proxy gui:
AvsSocket Proxy, derivated from avs2yuv by Loren Merritt
Loading Avisynth.dll
Avisynth.dll loaded

Avisynth error:

GOT IT NOW!!
houray!
the mistake was during installation:
when option "select extra files" was on, avisynth was not working.
when reinstalled without this option, everything works fine.
