[Wilbert]

Milan is working on avs support for ffmpeg (mencoder will follow later):

that's pretty cool, but he didn't mention *nix. is avisynth tied up with windows? (except for the dshow stuff)

[bond]

avisynth is heavily based on vfw afaik (thats why ffmpeg doesnt support it till now)

still i cant get it to work, i always get a failure in avisynth_c.dll :(

@bond: try this version of avisynth_c:
http://kevin.atkinson.dhs.org/avisynth_c/avisynth_c-stdcall.zip
or this one:
http://kevin.atkinson.dhs.org/avisynth_c/avisynth_c-stdcall-def.zip
One of them worked for me, I don't remember which, but I tend to believe is the first one

both crash here: the first one like the original avs one, and the second one reports something like "ffmpeg.exe is linked to missing export-avisynth_c.dll:avs_create_script_environment@4." :(

I got the same problem with this library. I think that this isn't related directly to library, but maybe to other reason. I'm runing w2k sp3. What OS you have? And under what OS this works for sure?

[marcellus]

That's strange. When I tried this version of ffmpeg I got the same error message as you but I put in system32 every version of avisynth_c.dll that I could find here:
http://kevin.atkinson.dhs.org/avisynth_c/
and finally worked with one. I don't know what could you do more (assuming you already have installed the latest avisynth alpha binary).:confused:

[bond]

i have winme (yeah i know :D )

@ bond & asmodeus :It seems you were posting when I was writing my previous post...

Requires SSE2 atm, but I'm sure that will change very soon. Too bad I don't have time to test it the coming days :(

[bond]

any news on this? will make .avs support its way to the official ffmpeg code (at least for windows)?
