working with graphedit

not sure where to put this topic, i thought i would start it in here. can be used for general issues and question about graphedit (ge)

ok, here is my issue with ge. i am trying to connect an avisynth script (video.avs -> ffdshow video decoder) but they won't connect.

1. i set the avs script final color space to yuy2
2. and set the [ffdshow video decoder] filter the following: Propertie\Codecs\AviSynth\Decoder=Avisynth (note, the drop down default is disabled)

but the pins will not connect. in fact, nothing will connect, nor auto-connect when i right-click the output pin.

i was under the impression that graphedit/studio supported avisynth and scripts.

i am trying to create a generic script that i can feed into a graph so that i don't have to re-build a graph with every new video source. it would be much easier if i can just update the script with the new video/audio source. that is what i am trying to do here.

does anyone know what i am doing wrong ?
