can't add black bars by script

[lancer]

I'm want to add letterbox bars by script so I get a good solid black for the borders but something escapes me here because I can't make the bloody things appear.

here is the source.

AviSource("d:\stuff\movies\indiana jones and the raiders of the lost ark.avi")


I've tried adding


Letterbox(100, 100)

AddBorders(0, 100, 0, 100)

both as seperate lines and as .Letterbox(100,100) or .AddBorders(0, 100, 0, 100) at the end of the avisource line

in all cases I can't see the borders I supposedly added. according to the avisynth.org I don't need to specify color because it defaults to black and that is what I want anyway.

can anyway point out where I am going wrong here please.

What AviSynth version are you using?

scratch that. i'd saved the file and without noticing it had been appended with a .txt extension so I wasn't opening what I thought I was opening.

doh!
