help getting started

[boliver10]

I can't get ANYTHING to work using avisynth in FFDShow for decoding movies.

I read the long intro to ffdshow including avisynth and downloaded the software package here:

But I can't get ANYTHING to work.

No matter what I put in the Avisynth window in FFDShow, it can't understand any of the function names like MT or LimitedSharpenFaster. i.e. I get an error on the movie screen saying it foesn't understand "MT".

I have all of the dll's in the plugin folder for MT and LimitedSharpenFaster and I moved the MT version of avisynth to system32 folder.

What else do I need to do????

(note I am using Vista 64 but am using a 32 bit movie playing program: Media Classic Home Cinema so I would think the regular 32 bit filter path should work)

OK, I figured this out... Avisynth can't find plugins in Vista 64.

No matter what I did with registry entries, moving the plugins file, nothing worked except to individually import and loadplugin for each and everything in the plugins folder.

If someone has a better solution. Please let me know.

Do you have all the requisite plugins?
Are ALL of the filters in your chain 32-bit?
Did you remember to check "Add ffshow video source" in the Avisynth section of the ffdshow video decoder?
