AviSynth was first released in May 2000.
Yes, that means AviSynth
predates the .Org - albeit only by a few months. Not that AviSynth 0.1 would be anywhere near remotely as usable as we know today, but still...
The general point I was trying to make, at least, is that before you use a filter, know A) what it does, and if relevant, B) how it works under the hood. A) is what determines the situations you feel it necessary to use said filters, and B) ensures that you know it'll work before you try to use it (although some of the task of getting filters to work
is trial-and-error, but the Source plugins are mostly straightforward about how they access files, so knowing how they do that will let you know if it'll work before you happen to waste your time...or you'll know how to set things up on the system so said Source filters
will work, as is the case for AVISource and DirectShowSource).
