AVS preview won't load

[lostsnowboardvideos]

Hi Selur, I can't get AVS preview to load any time I input an AVI file to encode. I use avisource for avi input but the file crashes.

If the preview does not work, neither will the encoding.

seems, like a bug with QTGMC 'very slow' when processing YUY2 content.
When using LWLibavVideoSource with YUV422P8 it works fine.
I will look into it.

Since I don't want to spend hours figuring out where the problem in QTGMC.avsi is, I adjusted Hybrid to not use YUY2 with QTGMC, which will tell Hybrid to add:

ConvertToYv16(interlaced=true)

to the code, which fixes the problem.
(a better solution, might be to fix QTGMC.avsi, but that can be done by someone else)

Ps.: Why are you using Avisynth at all? None of the filters you use is only available in Avisynth.
