Hello guys. I have a lossless Huffyuv file that i'm trying to open with avisource, but whenever I try doing that, I get a "Couldn't locate a decompresser...)" for my lossless huffy file.

I have ffdshow installed, and it plays back without faults in media players that uses ffdshow, but why won't it work for me using avisource? :o
I've been at this for months, but the only alternative I was able to find was with ffmpegsource, directshowsource, and dss. With ffmpegsource, it doesn't open files larger than 1 gig, so that most of the time is not an option. With directshowsource, the seeking is horrible, and sometimes, the framecount is misleading; and with dss, well, it's supposed to be frame-accurate from what I heard, but I always found an extra frame, so that's not an option either. I also tried manually entering the fourcc for ffdshow and huffyuv for avisource, and it still won't open, lol.
I do have the huffyuv v2.1 codec installed (or something like that). Looks like that only encodes though. :rolleyes:

Because you have a DirectShow filter for HuffYUV, but not a Video for Windows decoder for it. Enable HuffYUV decoding in the FFDShow Video for Windows settings.

I'm sorry, but tell me you aren't talking about this:

Because it's been at libavcodec for forever. That's the only dialog I see for Huffyuv decoding anywhere.
