Hi manolito, thanks again for the valuable inputs.

Good, a final build should address cosmetic issue as well

You are right, but it was a necessary change, there was a bug in HL colors management. I can add to the History.txt change log section a note to do a complete uninstall before installing 2.8.9.

I'm aware of this limitation with Win10. Unfortunately I have not found yet a more recent alternative to quartz.dll library. Still searching.

True, something definitively out of my control. BTW there is already a warning message if a AVC/AAC file is added and if MS filters are the default filters. Hope it is enough to remind users to switch to LAVs.

Sometimes A2D interprets such MediaInfo output as 0 channels. The workaround is to play the source file with a DS based player and check the LAV audio status tab which reports the number of channels which LAV sees. Then the user can manually change the number of audio input channels in A2D.

Likely the routine I use to detect AviSynth script properties could come in handy as "backup plan" when Mediainfo 18.05 is messing with audio channels. I will give it a try. Could slow down the file properties reading section.

This means that A2DSource.avsi is not executed correctly, so the external player will either not work at all, or there will be no audio. Including the Lib folder in the Path does not fix it.

Truly, I cannot reproduce the issue: I have tried with WMPlayer and Tiny Player as external player and the script is rendered properly, both video and audio. The script (AviSynthP.avs, stored in the Temp folder) is exactly the script used during A2D conversion processes, with a simple resizing command at the end to output the correct AR. If the preview is failing, the conversion should fail as well...
Or, maybe, I did not get the issue.
