Loading External filters - Cannot read xml filters

[flebber]

I am using avidemux 4407. I am trying to load external filters. Which filters are compatible ? Firstly I created a plugin directory in Avidemux c:/program files/avidemux 2.4/plugins and then added plugins to the directory I then went to preferences and added this directory as the directory to load filters. So then if i go video->filters->external there aren't any filters available.

How do I use external filters correctly ?

Avidemux can only load Avidemux Plugins (what a surprise ^^). This are DLL files, not XML files.
Of course you cannot pick a random DLL and load it as an external filter, it has to be an Avidemux Plugin (like the "externalFilterSample.dll" that ships with Avidemux).
I'm not aware of any web-site that offers Avidemux Plugins yet, but you may develop your on filters...

Ah okay misinterpretation of what external meant :)

PS

Ah and I just found the post http://avidemux.org/admForum/viewtopic.php?id=3528. I can use avsproxy to add the avisynth filters once a script is created so thats cool.

Liked your idea regarding the wrapper like ffdshow for vdub and avisynth filters in avidemux.
