Avisynth not opening H264 Files

[Mastamind]

Welp, I've spent a while pulling my hair out on this one- I performed a system restore on my computer, installed the newest AMVapp, everything like I had before.. When I try to use avisynth to open an H264-encoded file, it gives me an error. I've tried several containers- MKV, MP4, etc, and different scripts (directshowsource, ffmpegsource, ffmpegsource2, ffvideosource..), and avisynth either crashes, tells me it can't open the specified file, or gives me this:



Any help to solve this is greatly appreciated.. Thanks in advance.

You need to include the file's extension too. So for that video it would be:

Code: Select all

ffmpegsource2("C:\Users\richard\Downloads\AtomX&Nessephanie-OurInnocence-720p(x264).mp4")

Also, as a note, if you don't need the audio, you can just use

Code: Select all

ffvideosource("C:\Users\richard\Downloads\AtomX&Nessephanie-OurInnocence-720p(x264).mp4")

as code. You don't need anything extra to use it, it's already in the dll.

Derp'd. I didn't write the extension there, but it gave me that error when I did specify it was mp4.
And, well, in that time, I installed the newest versions of Haali's media splitter, x264, and ffdshow, and it's.. Working. Thanks anyway.

hey actually my avisynth doesn't do that too and i'm kinda stuck... any mkvs even with mp4 in it work tho
im using ffms2 with command ffvideosource i have newest haali & cccp
vdub throws at me :File Does not have video stream.
No matter what mp4 i give in script.:<

[mirkosp]

I'm not sure I understand: mkv files work, but mp4 files don't? In that case, just remux the mp4 to mkv first. Otherwise I'll need more info I guess.

Yep, maybe it's indexing problem?

my 64 bit version has the same error btw .

newest vdub (but that doesn't matter)

What information would help?

[mirkosp]

Use everything 32bit or everything 64bit (tip, I'd discourage avs64 for the time being, so make it an everything 32bit). After that, make sure you manually index the video by dragging it on ffmsindex.exe (bigger files can crash if loaded directly before ffms2 makes the cache) and then try to open the ffvideosource("bla.mkv") script. Can't think of much else for the time being...

k, it didn't help, my friend with same problem has a 32 bit setup btw but i will try to clean it up.

just chceked but avisinth(2.5.8)/ffms2 are newest too :<.

i got for experiment r494 ffms2 released 4 days ago
and it doesnt throw anything but there's green screen only in vdub

[mirkosp]

Green screen in the preview shouldn't worry you, it does happen to some people. Try actually transcoding to utvideo and see if that works. Also, do check if it is fine in avspmod.

[Mol]

yep changing ffms helped ,btw does the documentaion means internal function audiodub?

because my friends needs audio too and vdub seems to not to catch it
(or avspmod?)
