rmvb in avisynth

[modsyn]

hi, i was wondering if anybody could help me.

i'm trying to open a realmedia variable bitrate
video via AviSynth. i know for a regular .rm file
you can use directshowsource(clip, fps) but that
doesn't seem to work for a .rmvb

if anyone has ever done this before, please let
me know. i just want to get the video to open
in virtualdubmod.

:eek:

A little more description here would be a help. What happens? Does it bring up an error message?

[modsyn]

okay, here's some more description.
the error message that avisynth gives me is

<b>
Avisynth open failure:
Evaluate: Unrecognized exception!
(C:\media\rm.avs, line 3)
</b>

i know this error message is generic and
non-descriptive. that's why it wasn't
originally included in my post. the avs
script script i used was:
<b>
DirectShowSource("C:\media\test.rmvb",30)
</b>

just to clarify, i can play this file on
my computer. i have real alternative installed.
i haven't had any problems opening constant bitrate
real media files with avisynth, just variable
bitrate.

is there any help for me? lmk, thanks.

nevermind. if i load the rmvb file into RealMediaEditor
and save it as a regular .rm (constant bitrate) file i
can get it to load fine. still, if anyone knows why
avisynth won't load a variable bitrate realmedia file
let me know (or maybe it's just a bad file?).
