VirtualDub2 – Unicode support

[tormento]

I have tried to feed VirtualDub2 with Unicode based AVS but they don't work, complaining about path not found.

Would be possible to have a proper build? At least x64.

I dont understand what this has to do with VDub2,
does your script load in AvsPMod and eg Potplayer or MPC-HC ?

Can be patched, but needs some ms dev tool installation, which I'm not sure how to get easily.

The path to AVS file contains non-ANSI characters?
Or... if it's inside of AVS, some functions support UTF-8 explicitly, as in

#utf8.avs
a=FFAudioSource("D:\Unicode Path\☺♥♫\äāà.mkv", utf8=true)
#etc
