DirectShowSource(video.mkv) hangs with ffdshow/AvsP

[bokonon]

IT was fine the other week and now whenever i try to preview a h.264 file with DirectShowSource in AvsP the preview window takes forever to seek + frame accuracy is completely screwed up (frame numbers change but preview window stays the same). I'm using ffdshow + haali in DirectShow.

Has anyone ever experienced this? What can i do to find out the cause of this problem?

I had this problem, and it was because I was using an 2.5.8 alpha release of AviSynth. Reverting to 2.5.7 (TSP's MT build) fixed everything for me :)

:thanks:

thanks i just found it

whats the best way to do a clean install? I have uninstalled avisynth. So now i just need instal 2.5.7 and copy the MT dlls to the program files directory?

Almost.

Uninstall AviSynth, install the 2.5.7 release, and then overwrite Avisynth.dll in the windows\system32 directory with the dll provided in the MT package. Also install MT.dll in the program files\avisynth 2.5\plugins folder

Thanks MiSfit, I tried this morning but it seems to have made things worse :(

my script is simple

DirectShowSource("E:\[ enc ]\Performance\15.mkv")

[Blue_MiSfit]

Doh! That looks pretty weird to me. Here's my suggestion.

1) Uninstall avisynth again
2) Manually take everything out of your plugins folder - save any 3rd party fiters
3) Manually delete the whole folder, and any instances of avisynth.dll that you find
4) Install 2.5.7
5) Make the simplest script possible. Version() should suffice

Report back!
