I've got Windows2000Pro and DirectX-7 and capture software and DVD player software. Until now, I was running Avisynth 2.0.7 & 2.0.8 fine with my MPEG2 captures. Now, with 2.5.1 beta, and trying Nic's & FDMark's MPEGSource filters, all I get is "cannot play back the video stream: no suitable decompressor could be found".

I've done the search for avisynth.dll and there's only one in the Windows folder and version shows it to be 2.5.1 beta. The script is just MPEGSource("c:/video.mpg"), that's it, for testing (Nic's filter produces it's own video.d2v file). I cannot play the video.avs script in MPLAYER.EXE and TMPGEnc.exe - that where I get the error. I can play video.mpg, but not video.d2v, in MPLAYER and I can play both video.mpg and video.d2v in TMPGEnc.

I really want to get Avisynth 2.5 to work as I really want to try the MSmooth filter (I think it can really help my broadcast captures). I'm out of things to try and searching here doesn't bring up anything else. Help!

You have updated all your plugins to Avisynth 2.5, right?

CU,

Do you have DivX 5.0 or Koepi's "unstable" XviD installed. You need these for decompressing the YV12 for VdubMod.

lamer_de:
Yep. I only have 3 plugins in the plugins folder. MSmooth and the 2 MPEG filters. They're all 2.5.

sh0dan:
Oh. I didn't know about the need for DivX 5 or XviD x. Is that in the docs? I don't have either of these. I'll get'em and try'em.

Good call! I installed DivX (latest version 5.0.3) and no more errors. Thanks!
