ExactDeDup Usage

I have AVISynth+ 2.58 and VirtualDub 1.9.11.

I am trying to remove duplicate frames from a video suffering from a lot of jerkiness and stuttering. I wrote the following AVS script:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth+\plugins\ExactDedup.dll")
AVISource("C:\01.avi")
ExactDedup(clip="C:\01.avi", firstpass=true, dupinfo="dupinfo.txt", times="times.txt", maxdupcount=20, keeplastframe=false)

The clip loads up in VirtualDub just fine, but I know that in order to use ExactDeDup appropriately, you have to run it through a first pass with the boolean expression "firstpass = true".

That is supposed to create a "Dupinfo.txt" file that you use on the second pass with "Firstpass=false" that will finally remove the duplicate frames.

The problem is every time I play the clip through, Virtualdub plows away like it is doing something, but I don't see any "Dupinfo.txt" file. I even tried saving the actual video file hoping for something, but to no avail.

Is the program (AVISynth or VirtualDub) saving the "Dupinfo.txt" in some random location? I figured it would just save it in the same directory that the AVS/Source Clip was in.
