Avisynth open failure???

Post by FlamingMangos » Tue May 07, 2013 11:36 pm

When I try opening the file on Virtual Dub it says Avisynth open failure FFVideoSource: Can't open video.mkv (C:\AMV\Video.avs.avs,line 1)
My script is FFvideosource("video.mkv"). I even have the ffms2.dll file in the plugin folder in avisynth.

There could be a couple of different things that cause this issue, so I'll try to cover everything I can think of, post again if none of these fix your issue. I am assuming you have renamed your video you are trying to convert to "video.mkv" and it is in the folder "C:\AMV" with your avs script.

Possible Issue #1
The first thing I noticed is that you only mention ffms2.dll, but do not mention ffms2.avsi & ffmsindex.exe, which can mean one of two things:
1) You did not copy all 3 files to your plugins folder.
2) You downloaded the latest beta version that did not include those files.

Fix: Download the latest stable version and copy ffms2.avsi & ffmsindex.exe to your plugins directory.

Possible Issue #2
The next thing that could cause this issue is not having the necessary software installed to handle the container.

Fix: Download and install Haali Media Splitter.

Edit: Updated link to the new distribution site at GitHub.

Uhhh... this may be a silly suggestion, but did you load the plugin? It doesn't work if it's just sitting in your plugin folder right, I think...? (it's in another location for me XD)

LoadPlugin("C:\"location location location"\ffms2.dll")

Also, you can press F5 in avisynth to see if it works in avisynth, saves some time.

Everything in the plugins folder will load automatically, if they are not you may need to reinstall AviSynth and/or check to make sure your plugins folder is in the right location. The only time you should need to use "loadplugin()" would be if the dll is in another location.

That means the plugin isn't loading, double check ffms2.dll, ffms2.avsi, ffmsindex.exe are in:

C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins (on a 64bit system and not in a sub folder)
or
C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins (on a 32bit system and not in a sub folder)

The files are in the folder but its still not working. I even tried reinstalling AviSynth but it still does not work. I have ffms2-r725-icl-4 and ffms-2.17-cplugin. I tried copying the files from ffms-2.17-cplugin to the plugin folder and it would say theres no function called FFvideosource but if I tried it with ffms2-r725-icl-4 instead it would say Avisynth open failure FFVideoSource: Can't open video.mkv (C:\AMV\Video.avs.avs,line 1). I'm so confused right now.... Why is it so complicated. Argggg....

I'm trying to follow this https://www.amv101.com/guides/preparing ... ng-mkv-mp4 Part B and I'm sure I downloaded the requirements but still can't seem to get it working.

Make sure you are using the 32bit version of everything.

uh... ".avs.avs" ? srsly?

In all seriousness, though. Post the actual code. It could be something stupid like bad characters in the real file name. I think avisynth doesn't like certain characters.
