Cannot open and convert MKV files after deleting DivX.

Postby Jessie-kun » Thu Feb 24, 2011 4:37 pm

Okay, so I've been doing an AMV, and have been using MKV files that I converted to AVI with AvsP and VirtualDubMod. The DivX logo at the bottom right corner of all the footage has been really getting on my nerves. Thinking that having DivX installed had something to do with it, I attempted to get rid of it by deleting DivX all together.
I tried reopening the avisynth scripts in VirtualDubMod to see if the logo would be gone, but they wouldn't open.

Avisynth open failure:
Directshowsource: could not open as video or audio.


I attempted using FFVideosource.

Avisynth open failure:
Script error: There is no function named FFVideosource.


This is even with the plug in installed.

I tried FFMpegsource (and also FFMpegsource2) and got the same problem.

Can anyone help me deal with this?

So after grabbing the right version you want from here.

Code: Select all
LoadPlugin("X:\path\to\ffms2.dll")
ffvideosource("blah.mkv")

Which version am I wanting to download? I downloaded the latest one off of there before I posted here, but it's doing the same thing.

You probably didn't load properly the ffms2.dll or haven't placed it in the correct autoload directory. You should put it in your plugins subdirectory of avisynth 2.5 to be on the safe side.

That's the folder I put it in, but no luck. What should I do to try and load it properly?

Code: Select all
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\ffms2.dll")
ffms2_ffvideosource("your file.mkv")

Would be the safest way to go at it.

It didn't work. It says there's no such command. D:

Ok, at this point I'd say you should just try and reinstall avisynth because it sounds to me like avisynth just does not want to read the dll at all. You clearly did put it in the autoload folder and even manually called it to be sure, so if it's not reading it, I would guess something went wrong during the installation.
