FFmpegsource plugin, Premiere CS3, and me

Postby Panda122004 » Thu Feb 25, 2010 1:32 am

So I downloaded AMVapp 3.0, I downloaded the FFmpegsource plugin to work with mkv files in Adobe Premiere CS3 (and that Premiere Avisynth import plugin at http://videoeditorskit.sourceforge.net, ) and placed it in the plugin folder like so: bam. I continuously got this error when trying to import my avs file into premiere, like this.

I tried every combination of "code" (whatever the official term is) that I could find to rectify this error, but to no avail. My latest attempt:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\ffms2.dll")
FFMPEGSource("D:\Samantha\My Documents\Anime\Kara no Kyoukai\Kara no Kyoukai 04.mkv")

I've surfed the web and a-m-v.org for a few hours already. Some say put the plugin in a separate folder and try it from there. Didn't work for me. Some say delete a certain plugin in the plugin folder, didn't work. Don't know, I'm at a loss =/...I really want to use this plugin, considering its said to be the best for working with mkv. Directsource wouldn't even import into the program, as well as crashing it and my computer in the process XP...

If you got ffms2.dll, then the function name should probably be FFMPEGSource2, not FFMPEGSource. See if that works.

x2 Scintilla, but if you want to load just the video, you can call it as FFVideoSource instead.

Renaming the function FFMPEGSource2 didn't work, but calling it FFVideoSource did, thanks mirkosp ;).

You put ffms2.dll (and the rest of the package; you might want to rename the doc folder to ffms2_doc, though) in C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins, not in a subfolder. This is to make sure it autoloads and you don't have to use LoadPlugin. If it is in a subfolder, then you have to use LoadPlugin, because only the main C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins directory is set to autoload, and it's not recursive.

FFmpegSource2 won't work if the .avsi that came in the package isn't in the same directory as the .dll file.

This is what I get for not actually checking out the OP's screenshot for that part. :oops:
