A different playback problem with Avisynth (in)

[zeus163]

I thought I might have the same problem as 2boxer, but I don't think I do. I just bought a laptop and want to be able to run avisynth on it as well. I have no problems opening up my .avs files with divx/xvid files in Virtual Dub and even files in DVD-RB (an NTSC dvd I had made). However, the problem seems to lie in my PAL to NTSC encodes of either SVCD videos or PAL DVD's my friend sends. The files open, but they are ugly looking. I create D2V files with Donald's version. The files when opened in Virtual Dub have all these black/grey dots, the image appears heavily grey, and you can barely make anything out in the video. I thought maybe I'd try to encode one and the encoded project looks just like the files as they are opened in Virtual Dub (ugly). The same scripts work on my workstation computer, but I would like to get these to work. Does anybody have any ideas? I may just throw the original store bought image on the laptop (it's only a week old) and start over to be able to better re-trace my steps. I'm going to guess it might be the k-lite codec pack my friend told me to install. But if anybody has any ideas, I'm all ears!

Thanks...

Edit--
I managed to get the files working by using the old DVD2AVI 1.76 version. This seems really strange to me as I can use the new DG version of DVD2AVI on my workstation computer and save it as a 1.76 file without any problem, but can't do the same on my laptop. I'm supre perplexed right now. I would like to use the DG version of DVD2AVI, but right now will settle with what works.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'm still all ears.

I do not have any problems using the DG version of DVD2AVI with NTSC encoded SVCD's or files, just PAL files using this script:
LoadPlugin("C:\plugins\SmoothDeinterlacer.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\plugins\MPEG2DEC.dll")
MPEG2Source("C:\week 1x01.d2v")
SmoothDeinterlace(doublerate=true)
