I have a avi that is compressed with the latest package from FFDshow using HuffyUV (FFMPEG Lossless HuffyUV)

The results from GSPOT is this:

Codec: FFVH
Name: FFmpeg Lossless HuffYUV (open source)

Now i want to pipe this into mplayer2 and according to the AviSynth Q&A Faq on loading data

AviSource("myavi.avi")

but this does results in could not find an appropriate decompressor

after some digging I found someone that said The HuffyUV AVI is NOT openable by AVISource() and that I have to use FFVideoSource, and load the plugin

LoadCPlugin("D:\ffms-2.17-cplugin\ffms2.dll")
FFVideoSource("myavi.avi")

Still, this does not work. How can i load an AVI into AVISynth? (By the way, this FFVideoSource DOES work with VirtualDub, but how does it not work with mplayer2?)

EDIT: I added ConvertToYUY2() at the end and now it loads into mplayer2 as well. Is there a FAQ explaining why Mplayer2 requires YUY2 and VirtualDub does not?

Start > AllPrograms > ffdshow > VfW Configuration > tab "Decoder" > tab "Codecs"

-> make sure that "Huffyuv" is set to "libavcodec", then AviSource() should work.
