Codecs, decoders, etc

[auroauro]

Hi,

I am completely new to DV, I read the DV to DVD tutorial and the DV decoders thread, my question is this:

If I use the Avisynth script recommended in the DV to DVD guide without installing any decoder wich decoder would Avisynth use ?

If I encode the AVI direclty in CCE what decoder would CCE use ?

Thanks in advance for your help, regards;

Rafael

If you don't have any decoder installed, the DV video cannot be decoded. Fortunately Windows comes with an on-board DirectShow decoder filter, so if you use AviSynth's DirectShowSource, you'll get the video decoded. AviSource needs a VfW (= Video for Windows) codec installed, though.
