Problem with CoreAVC and GraphEdit

[placebo3681]

Looking for a little direction and am hoping to find it here. I have an h.264 media file that I wanted to encode. I created a graph that looks like H.264 file -> Sonic HD Demux -> CoreAVC decoder -> Video Renderer and then proceeded to play the file within GraphEdit. Played fine no issues. Saved the graph (after deleting the video renderer filter) and then referenced it in an Avisynth script -> DirectShowSource ("C:\video1.grf, audio=false, fps=23.976). I then ran it in WM11 to make sure it could play and I get this error -> DirectShowSource: Timeout waiting for graph to start (something to that effect). Tried playing around with the script but to no avail. I then tried using the Sonic Cineplayer Decoder 4.3 instead of CoreAVC. This time a blank screen came up (like the video was about to start) but WM11 crashed immediately. I tried searching on this error but couldn't find anything relevant. Is the codec bad? Something wrong with WM11? It played fine in GraphEdit. All I did different was take the video renderer out. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

Anyone? Something to get me going?

To use DirectShowSource, you have to remove the video renderer from the end of the graph.

I did that, as I stated. I only used it to make sure the graph worked properly. After that I removed it and saved it.

There are known issues with CoreAVC and Avisynth. We are all waiting for a fixed version.

Alright no problem. What about the Sonic Decoder? Any particular reason why that wouldn't work?

It works for me. But I don't have your source file.
