Getting an error trying to play avi file

[ELITEeNergizer]

This is the script I'm using:


FFVideoSource("C:/file.mkv")


I've put http://code.google.com/p/ffmpegsource/downloads/detail?name=ffms-2.16.7z&can=2&q=&sort=-downloadcount

all the content from that archive except the doc directory into C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins



Everything works fine with Version() as my script.


When I try to open the .avi file in windows media player I get:
Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or a required codec might not be installed on your computer.





Also for some reason when I try to visit avisynth.org I can't. When I ping it in cmd I get:

When I try to open the .avi file in windows media player I get: What .avi file? Scripts should be named .avs.

FFVideoSource("C:/file.mkv")

isn' the "/" supposed to be "\"

FFVideoSource("C:\file.mkv")

Forward slashes work fine, at least for AVISource(). I haven't tried FFVideoSource(), but I would wager it's OK also.
