Avisynth first script duplicate

[sajg91]

Hi, I've just done my first Avisynth script, version() The attached small video message appears in duplicate on the same line on my virtualdub is this correct? Thank you for any advice.

VirtualDub has two display windows, left is (usually) input, right is (usually) output.
If you are not doing any VirtualDub filtering, you can switch off the output window. [Menu/view]
By the way, VirtualDub2 is a lot better than old standard VirtualDub,
[Its now stickied in the VirtualDub, VDubMod & AviDemux forum, so I spent some time looking for it, it was at top of first page]

EDIT: It also has a simple AVS script editor under the Tools menu.
The version of the old VirtualDub that you are using, is not even the latest old one. (1.10.xxx)

Thank you StainlessS for explaining I thought I had done something wrong! I will be using virtualdub filters so I will get to understand it better in the coming weeks. I will look at the version of virtualdub I'm using. I probably need to upload the latest version. Thank you for all the advice.

If you use VirtualDub for capturing, version 1.9.11 is recommended. With version 1.10.4 and VirtualDub2 I experienced dropped frames not reported.

For editing you can use version 1.10.4 or VirtualDub2 as properly remarked by StainlessS

Thanks lollo. I didn't realise you can use 1.9.11 only for capture. Do you personally use 1.10.4 for editing?

Yes, but I just feed it with an AviSynth script, no "editing" with VDub filters

I currently have two differing versions of VDub installed (I used to have about 4).
I just do an install and copy the vdub folder somewhere [eg into a "C:\NON_INSTALL" folder] , and then un-install via control panel.

Delete the un-installer exe (whatever its called) in the copied folder, and create a shortcut to the vdub executable [+ another for x64 version].
Store the shortcuts in some shortcuts folder [perhaps also categorized in sub folders].

You can then eg copy your shortcuts folder into a SPECIAL eg "C:\NON_INSTALL\___MY_SHORTCUTS___" for storage, and zipping up final result
for moving elsewhere.

On another machine, copy and decompress zip to C:\, and copy "C:\NON_INSTALL\___MY_SHORTCUTS___" to wherever your shortcuts folder was.

I currently have a bunch of similar ex-installed apps in a directory [1 GB in size, 100+ apps] which can be copied to a new OS easily.

Above a bit loosly described, mine is a bit more complicated but I hope that you get the idea.

Thanks lollo & StainlessS for the information. I will work my way through the Avisynth introductory guide. I'm sure there's plenty of bumps in the road to come!
