H264 AVI Source

[Typhoon859]

What AVISynth code do I need to encode an H264 video? AVISource doesn't seem to work. I probably need to include some decoding DLL which I wouldn't know about... I tried the MKV directly and then tried the AVI I ripped from the MKV. Neither work. What must be done?

DirectShowSource("filename.mkv")
should do the trick.

DirectShowSource() will only work if suitable DirectShow-based splitters and decoders are installed on the system.

I'd give FFMpegSource() a try:

Anyway, the preferred way to access H.264 streams now is DGAVCIndex, but it doesn't support MKV files yet:

Thanks guys.

EDIT: DirectShowSource seems to work just fine.
