Try installing the C++ redistributable package:

For testing AVISynth you could open an .avs file with Virtualdub http://www.virtualdub.org/download.html or even a windows binary of ffplay part of a Windows ffmpeg install available here, http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ as long as it was compiled with avs support.

Or you can process .avs scripts with Avs2yuv http://akuvian.org/src/avisynth/avs2yuv/ and Avs2pipemod http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=160383&page=6 on the CLI serving to Windows binaries of x264 http://x264.nl/ or ffmpeg etc, both avs2yuv & avs2pipemod also allow possibility of 10 & 16bit data out of Avisynth to x264 10bit build and Imagemagick 16bit image formats, http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...59#post1386559, but one step at a time. :-)

Excellent advice. I will sit down after the dog walk and work my way through that. I spent an hour or so lookking around the we but found nothing so you advice is very welcome.

I am new to Linux (Mint 13/Mate), and not very experienced in the world of video editing so it all seems very confusing.

I will let you know how I get on.
