AVISynth Error DirectShowSource: Timeout waiting for graph to start - .m2ts

[onesikgypo]

Hi,

Im trying to do a few encodes with my m2ts files, and weirdly enough only some of the files are giving me issues with avisynth with the error "DirectShowSource: Timeout waiting for graph to start"

After googling around i found this was most likely a codec issue where ffdshow isnt handling it - and using graphstudio i found that re the video it was going from source -->(Xform in) coreAVC Video Decoder (Xform out) --> DirectVobSub (auto-loading version) (output) --> (VMR input0) Video Renderer

I also found that many people recommended using the win7 preferred ds filter, however, im using win vista x64 and not win7 - so does anyone else know any other workaround apps i coudl possibly use?

Thanks.

use mediainfo on one of the problematic files (view=>text) , copy & paste the text information back here

if your video is h.264/avc , coreavc should be able to handle it, and what you say about graphstudio suggests everything is working fine

another option is to avoid directshow issues and use another source filter like ffmpegsource2 , or dgavcindex (if your content is progressive avc)

Hey,

Like i noted there were other m2ts files in the same disc that opened fine, it was jus these weird few that wouldnt, and yes it was AVC/H.264 (since its bluray video), the mediainfo are practically identicla to the working ones so doubt the solution is int here.

However since the source was a 23.976 progressivek, i just used dgavcindex (completely forgot about that!) and the avs' are loading fine.

Thanks for the help
