something slightly wrong here...

[e_z out]

Basically, I am trying to export video from my PAL timeline in Premiere into TMPG to encode an NTSC DVD. I am trying to apply XESDEENI's standards conversion script in AVISynth.

I worked out that AVISynth is not accepting my scripts at all. My PAL Premiere timeline is frameserving into NTSC-set TMPG but the filters that I am entering into my script are not being used. Any conversion that is happening for me is happening in TMPG alone.

I worked this out by frameserving the timeline 'straight' and then frameserving IT with a script, both times into TMPG set for NTSC and burning both to DVD. They are identical. No wonder I wasn't impressed with the interpolation !

I am going slightly crazy trying to work out what I am doing wrong.

I write my 'standards conversion' script and save as IPCServer.avs.
I go to my timeline and do 'make movie' choosing 'video server' as my file type.
Under 'advanced settings' I choose 'Connect to AVISynth' as option (as opposed to 'AVIWrapper').
I check the 'create AVS file for AVISynth' option and browse to my 'IPCServer.avs' file.
My .avs file is then overwritten with :

LoadPlugin("AvisynthEX.dll")
video=IPCSource(untitled0")
return video

I have installed Avisynth 1.07, AvisynthEX,Premiere video server .951...

Sorry to introduce such a lame problem but I'm think I'm missing something simple...any Ideas what it might be ?

Help much appreciated...

My .avs file is then overwritten with :

LoadPlugin("AvisynthEX.dll")
video=IPCSource(untitled0")
return video
Maybe I'm not understanding something ... What happens if you change this script back again (or can't you change it when it pops up?) and open it in TMPGEnc?

I check the 'create AVS file for AVISynth' option and browse to my 'IPCServer.avs' file.

Seems to me, that there you say you want it to create the script itself, so it will overwrite yours.
What if you don't check this option ?
