10 bit files

[BrokenWaves]

So i'm trying to open this mkv file in virtualdub but it gives me

"Avisynth open failure: FFvideosource: No suitable output format found"

i dont have anything in my script other than this

Code: Select all

FFVideoSource("F:\Mawaru_Penguindrum\[Coalgirls]_Mawaru_Penguindrum_05_(1280x720_Blu-ray_FLAC)_[A42BAA6B].mkv")

never had this problem with mkvs before. i'm assuming its because its a 10 bit file so any ideas on how to fix this?

Lolbloatgirls. Consider buying the BDs if you can, though I do understand that import is not a feasible choice for everybody (I would not be this lenient had it been licensed).

As for ffms2, just update it to the latest version. But I would recommend using other sources, original BDs foremost.

im assuming you mean from here?

i just downloaded ffms-2.16.7z. extracted and copied the .avsi and .dll file to my avisynth plugins folder(thats how you install/update it right?)

then i tried opening the file again, still gives me the no suitable output format found error.

That's how you do it, yes. Very strange, though, it should work by default.
Try calling things like

Code: Select all

ffvideosource("lolbloatgirls.mkv", colorspace = "YV12")

PS: Do overwrite ffmsindex.exe as well.

The ffmsindex.exe isn't used when you're using the avisynth plugin. The colorspace = "YV12" is probably what did it.

Is there even any point in packaging ffmsindex with the avs plugin? The only people who would actually use it would know where to get it and how to use it anyway. Maybe in the next package just pull it from the archive.

It's actually pretty much a necessity with bigger files, so it's cool to be able to tell people "drag and drop your file over that exe that came with the dll" instead of having them go all the way.
