Yet when I load up all my settings in divx5enc and try to "Get, RC averaging period" for the file...I get this error message:

Can't write "tmp\avsinfo.in"

What's this mean and can anyone help. Also...when I try to open this script in VirtualDub...the Virtualdub window flashes on the screen for a moment and then just disappears. ?????

Any ideas?

Is the filename "D:\Vobs\Pitch Black.avs" correct?

[X-Nemesis]

Yes that's correct.

lol if you load mepgdec is a mpeg2 video no ? so why do you put avisource ? and i think is a 2dv file no ?

mpeg2source("D:\Vobs\Pitch Black.d2v")

[X-Nemesis]

Actually I was just comparing scripts between an FOTR encode I just did successfully with divx5enc and that was the difference...my line in the pitch black script is avisource("D:\Vobs\Pitch Black.avs") and should be avisource("D:\Vobs\Pitch Black.d2v")...right?

WELL...

I changed that around and then tried to get the RC averaging times and I got the following error:

AVIFileSource: couldn't open file (D:\Vobs\Pitch Black.avs, line 18)

So I'm somewhat confused...I changed the script and yet it still indicates to me that it's Pitch Black.avs???

Be patient with me please cause I'm completely new at this stuff.

Thanks:confused:

mpeg2source("D:\Vobs\Pitch Black.d2v")
for MPEG-2 source (DVD2AVI projects)

avisource("D:\Vobs\Pitch Black.avs")
for AVI sources (you can also use avisynth scripts as sources)

Well...I redid my dvd2avi project and then saved my avs after putting correct settings in GordionKnot and for some reason everything worked ok. I'm not sure what the problem was...here's my new script that I used:
