If this is mentioned in the FAQ please link me to it, for I must have overlooked. I have been using avisynth for years now for many different reasons. I happened upon a new computer and installed avisynth 2.56.

I have created a d2v project using dgindex 1.4.5 and am trying to load it into an avisynth script. I have simplified my script for debugging purposes.

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\DGDecode.dll")
MPEG2Source(".\file.d2v")

this avs is in the same folder as file.d2v Whenever I load it into mplayer2 all i get is an error finding the codec. I have never had this problem before. I tried using dvd2avi 1.76+ and mpeg2dec3 but i have the same problem. When opening in VirtualDub i get an error saying "Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'YV12' (unkown) Any ideas?

You need to install a YV12 Decoder. Installing latest XviD / DivX or the Helix YV12 Decoder should fix it.

That did it, i guess I never realized that i installed Xvid before ever using doing this previously. Thanks a lot!
