Copy the files from inside the AviSynth plugins zip file to the Avisynth plugins directory window you just opened. Note that you can't copy the directory you unzipped in; you have to copy the files <i>inside</i> the directory you unzipped into the AviSynth plugins directory. This is because AviSynth won't recognize the plugins if they are inside a directory inside the AviSynth plugins directory.
 If AviSynth complains that the MSVCR71.dll file is missing, you can download it at http://www.dll-files.com/. Place it in your "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\" directory.

 You will need to install [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57023 Avisynth 2.5.7] or later in order for the script to work. You also need to download the [[Media:statidheader.png|StatID header]] and place it in the same folder as your avisynth script, or make sure the paths are correct in the script.
