avisource with mjpg

[renegat_pl]

Hello,

I have got a video (captured by my camera) which I can open via Virtualdub. However avisynth cannot open it.
Avisynth has a problem with opening a video compressed with mjpg coder. For me it is surprising that virtualdub can open it, and avisynth cannot.

I have installed ffdshow codecs, and the mjpg codec is enabled (libavcodec).

So why it can not be loaded by avisynth?

it crashes after:
AviSource("Myfile.avi")

Of course it works with DirectShowSource, but I read that it is better to load a video through AviSource...

Are you sure you have enabled it in the VfW configuration for ffdshow and not just the standard configuration?

Subject is closed, you were right. The whole time I was changing video decoder configuration, not the vfw.... my mistake, thank you.

FYI: VirtualDub has its own internal MJPEG decoder.
