I have been using Avisynth 2.5.5 for a while under Win98SE, but have problems with using WavSource (avisynth complains it can't open files) and have never been able to get DirectShowSource to work (avisynth complains the function doesn't exist) unless I install a plugin. A few of the other internal functions also do strange things and require workarounds.

I don't have any plugins under the standard plugin directory, but have them all installed under a different directory so I can manually include only the ones I need. I also completely uninstall Avisynth before upgrading to a newer version and reboot the system.

I was hoping that Avisynth 2.56a might address these issues, however it does exactly the same thing as 2.55.

Does anyone have an explanation as to why these 2 supposed internal functions won't work on my system?

Under Windows 9x there is an internal ACM limit to the length of the full pathname for a .WAV file, it is about 40 to 50 chars. M$ doesn't love W9x or ACM any more.

DirectShowSource.dll is a plugin. Put it in you plugin directory or explicitly load it.

Thanks for the tips: I can see what's going wrong now.

Confusing that the DirectShowSource function is a plugin.
