FFDShow+Wine

[Oline 61]

I need to use DirectShowSource or AVISource to get some MPEG4 AVI's into AVISynth. I installed ffdshow without really doing anything special and neither directshow or VFW works. What do I need to do to get it working?

I didn't use dshow part of ffdshow, but I have the vfw part working as dscribed in this post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=755176#post755176) and the next one.

Best regards

It shows up in the Compression window of VirtualDub, but it doesn't do any decoding. The fourCC of my videos is XVID. Virtualdub says it cannot find a decopressor for XVID.

Just install XviD (it works with wine). That I think would take care of it.

Please find the ffdshow vfw decoder configurator and configure the XVID fourcc to be handled by libavcodec.
I don't know which is the executable name, I'm not in that computer now, but in that system (gentoo linux with KDE 3.3) the ffdshow instalation has created a menu entry with that configurator.

Sorry about my English and sorry if I can't be more helpful now. Maybe in a few hours I can install it in my new system.

Thanks, installing XVID or telling FFDShow to decode XVID both work.
