FFVideoSource

[sirt]

Hi,

I would like to point out something strange. I have no problem to import mkv streams with FFVideoSource but I do have to help somebody to make it work, and for an unknown reason it never works. I told him to add FFMS2.dll & FFMS2.avsi into his Avisynth plugin folder but it still doesn't work when importing on VirtualDub which claims "there is no function named FFVideoSource" ; what the hell is needed to make that plugin work ?

Make sure he downloaded the correct version. Some of them are "C-Plug-Ins" which have to be loaded manually with "LoadCPlugin()" and don't load automatically from the Plug-In folder.

We tried something like this :

Import("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\FFMS2.avsi" )
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\FFMS2.dll" )
FFVideoSource("C:\video.mkv",cache=false)
crop(0,0,0,0)

I don't understand why because in my case I don't need to load any plugin to make it work. Is something else needed ? I old him to download that http://ffmpegsource.googlecode.com/files/ffms-2.17-cplugin.7z and demux it into "plugins" folder.

Read my post again.

I read it. How could I know which one is the appropriate version ? Moreover, as you see both avsi and dll are loaded.

You know which is the appropriate version because the thing you're linking to explicitly has cplugin in the filename, and the one that the site tells you to get if you don't know which one you want (and you don't, so you picked wrong) doesn't say anything.
