Could I jump into this thread as I am having difficulty figuring out the ffmpegsource myself? I don't easily understand these things but I have managed to grasp avisynth just enough for my purposes.
I would like to either open mkv files directly in Premiere Pro or at least in Vdubmod. I found that I could use directshowsource but the lag is horrible and it seems ffmpegsource is recommended so I hoped to try that. I have downloaded the files as doom9 directed in
this post. I couldn't find a readme file or clear installation guide without seeing a book of technical stuff so I've been gleaming what I could find out from forum posts. I'm growing quite frustrated having wasted most of my evening on this with no luck.
I'm not quite sure what all of the files downloaded are for. I paid more attention to the ffms2-r292 download and went to drop the ffms2.dll, FFMS2.avsi, and just in case the ffmsindex.exe in my avisynth plugins folder. Don't know what the .exe file was for as nothing opens if I click on it. Low and behold it I already had ffms2.dll files in my plugins folder... but they seemed a bit different so I moved the existing ones out of the way to replace with the ones just downloaded.
Anything else I can do to get it to work? I'm using the following code.
- Code: Select all
FFVideoSource("E:/Anime/Kurei-nai/Kurenai - 01.mkv")
I basically get, in either Vdub or premiere....
Avisynth error:
FFVideoSource: Can't open "E:/Anime/Kurei-nai/Kurenai - 01.mkv"
- Code: Select all
DirectShowSource("E:/Anime/Kure-nai/Kurenai - 01.mkv")
works so I know the problem must lie withe ffmpegsource
