1st) when you installed avi2dvd do you accepted to install avisynth ? [in the installation you might have selected CANCEL]
To see if you have installed it press start->programs->avisynth 2.5 ...

G'day folk

I had the same problem after installing the latest version of AVI2DVD and got the error message. I downloaded and installed the codecs and ended up with the same result - even after rebooting (just in case). Further suggestions on getting the program to work would be appreciated.

Regards

Installing a different codec appears to fix the problem - go to http://www.koepi.org/xvid.shtml, download and install the file and everything works fine - takes a long time though.
