I apologize in advance if this is deemed a repeat post. However I am absolutely stumped by this error message I receive everytime I try and run the HV20pulldown.exe application:

avisynth open failure: MPEG2Source: couldn't open file (C:captured\HomeSample-0001_.avs, line 1)

This happens with every file I try... I've scoured the web for answers, tried installing different plugins for avisynth, etc for most of the day. Is there a magical update or download that I must do in order to make this work? Thanks in advance... I wouldn't even be here without all of your help, just need a little bit more wisdom!

I actually just got it to work- seems I had forgotten to copy the DGdecode.dll to my AVI Synth Plugin Directory. Find that file and copy it over (don't move it, just copy it) and maybe that will work for you?

Ian, I noticed that your file path stated C:captured\HomeSample-0001_.avs

I wonder if that needs to be C:\captured\HomeSample-0001_.avs with the \ following c:. Otherwise it might infer a relative path which might be why AVISynth cannot open the file.

Can you open the AVS file in VDub itself manually and see if you get any extended error information?
