AVIsource() & AvsP under Vista

[miamicanes]

I had a weak moment this afternoon, and grudgingly decided to upgrade to Vista in lieu of reinstalling XP for the umpteenth time. A few hundred dollars & shiny Aero-ready DX10 videocard (GeForce 8500GS) later it's mostly running, but I can't get AviSynth to work with AvsP, and I'm not sure whether it's a "Vista thing" or a "I forgot to install something I installed weeks ago and forgot about afterward" thing.

So far, I've installed the Panasonic and Canopus DV codecs & rebooted, to no avail. If I try using AviSource, it reports that "AviSource: Could not open video stream in any supported format". If I try DirectShowSource instead, it loads the first frame, then hangs until I kill it.

Any ideas?

Vista doesn't install some VFW codecs properly, especially if they rely on you installing from a .inf file. Is that the case here?

I'm running Vista and have no problem using AviSource or DirectShowSource with avisynth scripts (AvsP or otherwise). So I'm inclined to think it's "I forgot to install something I installed weeks ago and forgot about afterward". I use CCCP for my codecs.

Which version of Avisynth are you using? I installed the beta version, but I'm wondering whether it (or a dll it relies upon) might have issues that an older build doesn't...

Can you play DirectShowSource scripts in your Vista ?

Using WMP11 ?

Well, it ended up being a problem with the beta version. I installed the 2.5.7 release, and it seems to be working fine now.

Yes, although I usually use MPC I just tried WMP11 and it worked fine.

I'm using 2.5.7 compiled with the added MT support. I haven't tried 2.6 if that is what you mean by beta.

Where'd you get it from? I didn't see any mention of a multithreaded version at avisynth.org... I assume someone else downloaded the source and tweaked it?

Two threads down. ;)
