Loading Both .FLV and .MP4 files in AviSynth

[Cunhambebe]

Hi there,
I'm sorrry for being a newbie and if this has already been discussed around here. I would like to load **.flv and **.mp4 files in AviSynth, but I still don't know how. In fact I've searched the forums and found this:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=122599

...and also a bunch of topics on Gabest's flvsplitter.

Would any of you like to help me find a simple and straighforward answer to what I'm looking for? I still don't know if I have to download Gabest's flvsplitter and Neuron's filter. That'd be great to learn how to do this "convertion" > mp4/flv> AviSynth> MPEG2 or MPEG4 (part 2).
Thanks in advance.

Use FFmpegSource().

Yup! You can find it here (http://ivtc.org/new/FFmpegSource-1.18.rar).

Thanks to both of you. I'll try it. What about those other ones?
Thanks in advance.

Neuron's filter is only for .264 and .ts files. Gabest's only works with DirectShowSource, but if you can load the file into windows media player, you can load it with DSS (usually). DSS is generally a second-choice option for when you have no other way to load it, it's so flaky.

Thanks so much for replying, foxyshadis. I've always had trouble trying to use DirectShowSource. Just a thought here...

AviSynth FAQ:
disadvantages of DirectShowSource:

* It's less reliable than AviSource and specific video/audio input plugins.
* Seeking problems.

Anyway, thanks so much for your explanation. I wish I had more free time to learn AviSynth - but I'm progressing a lot lately.

Cheers,
Mark :)
