Configuring FFDShow for AVIsynth usage...

[Dr.Khron]

So, I'm getting the "Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'YV12' (unknown)."

I'm running the CCCP pack with FFDShow.
I get the same message in VirtualDubMod as I do in AvsP.

After reading the various wikis, it seems like I should be able to set FFDShow to decompress YV12... but I can't figure out how to do it. I've fooled around with a bunch of settings and got no where. Help please.

Very bottom of the codecs panel, you want to set raw formats to "all supported". Probably a good idea to do this in both the main and the vfw panels.

AHA! Thank you very much.

I knew it had to be something simple... kicking myself that I didn't find it.

Actually, I'd be very careful about setting the DirectShow panel to handle "all supported" raw formats. That will cause Ffdshow to attach itself to the end of every DirectShow video decoding graph, which will unnecessarily slow down playback and disable DXVA decoding in most cases.

Enabling "all supported" only in the VfW panel is safer. The worst case scenario is that a DirectShow graph might load Ffdshow as a VCM codec when it has no other DShow codec to handle an uncompressed surface.
