avisynth not working with mpc

[martino]

When I make an AVS file, either using AviSource or DirectShowSource as input and open it with MPC it gives me:
Y:\clip.avs::Avisynth video #1

But when I open it with VDub it works. The source is a DIVX video. I do have fffdshow set to use libavcodec to decode both DIVX and XVID.

Turn raw video decoding on in ffdshow's directshow (maybe vfw) mode, or just install xvid.

[martino]

Thanks, though after installing divx and uninstalling it started working. Is it "safe"(or good?) to have raw video decoding turned on in ffdshow?

Won't hurt anything, just lets you play formats that you otherwise couldn't. Unless you find it getting added into the graph of everything, which it shouldn't (unless you want its processing capabilities).
