Directshowsource and AVC

[Sagekilla]

Hi all, I'm trying to get avisynth to decode an mkv file with x264 encoded video in it using directshowsource. I know I can simply use Neuron's DGAVC + AVCsource plugin, but I'd rather use DirectShowSource. I prefer being able to just use DSS("Video.mkv") instead of using DGAVC to index + AVCsource to open it up. But, I can't seem to figure out what I need to do to get this to work.

Can anyone enlighten me? :)

DirectShowSource will work fine as long as you have a splitter + decoder installed for the file.

You should use ffmpegsource instead, it's much better/faster than directshowsource for decoding avc. :)

Hm, I seem to have gotten FFmpegSource and regular DirectShowSource working fine with my mkv + H.264, but I've run into another problem.

Unless I stick a ConvertToRGB32() at the end of it, I can't open it up to preview in mpc or VDB. Any solutions? I get a "Couldn't locate decompressor for YV12" when I try.

D'oh, yes that.. Thank you Terranigma :) I just reformatted my computer and it's all out of whack codec wise, including this..
