Working with quicktime hd stuff..

[Sp00kyFox]

hi dudes,
well I wanna try some filters on quicktime hd material but I don't know how to open the files with avisynth.
AviSource obviously failed, I also tried DirectShowSource, QTReader and QTSource - no luck with them.
well it wouldn't be a problem for me if I first had to encode it to another format but I don't know how to do that.

any tools or plugins your could suggest?

(kinda confuses me that I have no problem actually playing them but directshowsource failed oO)

DirectShowSource should work. You just have to install all the filters needed, like Haali's Media Splitter or Gabest's mp4 splitter and ffdshow for video and audio.

I'm sorry, forgot to say the container type is mov. actually I'm using the splitter by gabest.
didn't tried haali's splitter though, does it support mov-containers?

just tried haali, nope.. same problem. avisynth tells me "No video stream found."
maybe any additional parameters for directshowsource?

just tried to open it with megui... got the error message:

"DirectShowSource: RenderFile, the filter graph manager won't talk to me"

How about FFmpegSource (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=127037)?

If this MOV contains H.264 and AAC, you can easily remux to MKV with MKVToolNix and then use DirectShowSource, DSS2, FFMS2, or whatever :)

thx dudes for your help.
well it had to be a stupid mistake and it was one, I've forgotten to install the ffdshow-plugin for avisynth... yeah great ^^

DirectShowSource usually works for .mov with QuickTimeAlternative installed. This also provides playback in most players.
