I understand that one of the known bugs is a problem reading custom AVISynth scripts, but I haven't had any problem with them up until recently. What I'm trying to do is convert a script made up of two scripts, which I had to make because of a weird issue with the entire video source being made up of 2 streams with different aspect ratios. Basically, I had to make individual scripts with all the cropping and whatnot, and then a script with an UnalignedSplice() to attach the previous scripts.

I've had to do this before (which actually kind of confuses me... but I guess that's just my luck), and it worked fine, but now it cranks out a file that I can play in VLC Media Player, but not in iTunes or the Quicktime player. when I try to load it in the QT player, it gives me this error:

Error -2002: a bad public movie atom was found in the movie

But, again, other AVISynth scripts have worked just fine. In fact, I just finished converting one of my DVD series the other day. I've been using the Video Wizard, set to New, TV size, Enhance Quality, and the highest video/audio settings.

Try getting your movies... in two parts... from a legitimate source... and you won't have these P2P problems.

Actually, The DVD for Zeiram 2, which I purchased legally at the Media Blasters booth at a convention this past year, has the problem of the video source's aspect ratio being slightly different in a few places (not to mention the problem of not playing all the way through in VLC, which is what prompted me to rip it in the first place). I had to find the specific frames where the video got stretched out in VirtualDubMod, and had to split the original .avs into separate scripts using Trim(), then import them into a single one.

This was what I was referring to, and I'm slightly offended that you simply made the assumption that my source was an illegal download from a Peer-to-Peer service. Now, if you have a better answer than that, let's hear it.

After more searching, I've found that a "bad public movie atom" comes from a corrupt conversion - rather than any sort of issue with video source or AVISynth - and, subsequently, I need to replace my RAM.
