Hello all, I'm very new to this whole thing, and for some reason, my AVS file locks up my computer whenever it's played in any player. The AVS file is one line long:

AviSource("D:\My Anime\Generic-Man\Episode 01.avi")

I've tried it in Media Player Classic and Windows Media Player 6.4, and both have the same result: The window resizes to the proper demensions, then my CPU usage jumps to 100% and stays that way until I terminate the process. I have the latest version of DivX and every VIDC.Yxxx registry value in the Drivers32 key is set to divx.dll

Help =(

Edit:

I've just noticed the filename and since I don't particularly want a strike under rule number six, I've removed what I wrote a few minutes ago.

codec is DIVX. Also, it the AVS seems to work fine in vdub, but this is somewhat irrelevant to my goals. I'm writing a program that the scripted nature AVS would be extremely useful for, and playing AVS files from my program (I'm using the avifil32.dll API) locks up the system just like the players. I'm assuming this is all one problem.

Edit: Forgive me, I seem to have made a typo in the filename. Corrected. *eyeroll*

Edit2: For the record, I was only using that file as a test file. As I said, I'm working a program, not distributing liscenced anime.

Edit3: Okay, apperently the avifil32 part of my program works now, and was locking up due to a bug. However my program involves both frame extraction and standard playing, and afaik avifil32 doesn't do the latter. And the DirectShow part of my program still failing, just like mplayerc and mplayer2
