DirectShowSource() help needed

[thegame]

Hi guys,
I am wondering what NEEDS to be on the PC to get this avisynth command to work,3 days ago I was able to use this command to open .ts files,now I am trying to use it on .h264 files,well while trying to get it to work on .h264,now it wont work on either file now,but PowerDVD stills opens and runs both(.ts and .h264) just fine,I just cant get avisynth script to work.

the error I get is this:

DirecShowSource: Could not open as video or audio.

Video Returned: "DirectshowSource: Unable to determine the duration of the video."

Audio Returned: "DirectShowSource: Renderfile,The Filter graph manager won't talk to me."

thanks for any and all help

Tons of threads about that subject, thegame. Do a search on Directshowsource h264 TS and wade through it.

Can you open up graphedit and import this file, take a screenshot and show us whats happening in your codec chain ?

Video Returned: "DirectshowSource: Unable to determine the duration of the video."You have an crappy splitter, use the new 2.5.7 DSS option framecount=<number> to beat it into submission.

PS what do you mean, by "use the new 2.5.7 DSS option framecount=<number> to beat it into submission."
how do I do this?

[thegame]

this is the error i get when I try to manually add this filter in with Graphedit.

"filters cannot agree on a connection" means that it's the wrong type of filter, like pushing audio to a renderer (as an example), and sometimes it's very hard to manually figure out what filters need to go together. But what filter is it? PowerDVD splitter?

The framecount is used in DSS like: Directshowsource("file",framecount=394272)
may need fps as well.

here are the filters,the one that is not linked(Cyberlink Demux(PDVD7),I need linked in between Howard.h264 and the Cyberlink h264\avc decoder (PDVD7),I attached the Graphedit image of the whole thing.
thanks again
