I want to process MTS (MPEG Transport Stream) files from an AVCHD camcorder in AviSynth. Displaying with AviSource() says that the file couldn't be opened, displaying with DirectShowSource() says that the format is not supported.

I found no information about MTS on the AviSynth wiki. The list of source filters has nothing on MTS or TS. I found a thread about MTS and VirtualDub but I would prefer dealing only with the source file instead of converting to another format.

Can AviSynth handle MTS files?

Use cross-platform wrapper library FFmpegSource (around FFmpeg) — particularly, its filter FFmpegSource2() (instead of built-in AviSource() or DirectShowSource()).

See AviSynth Wiki about it.

  • I think I was able to use the plugin (with LoadPlugin("/path/to/ffms2/x86/ffms2.dll")), and Media Player says Windows Media Player is unable to open the file. It's possible that Media Player does not support this type of file or that you need a codec that is not installed. [Close] [Help online]. A file 00009.MTS.ffindex appeared next to the source. With the x64 path, I get an error from AviSynth, error 0xc1. Shall I update my question or is it a separate question? Dec 22, 2019 at 20:25
  • Why not give a separate question? It's better than have 2 question in one.
