<a href="http://avs-plus.net">AviSynth+ r1718 or higher</a> for 32-bit and 64-bit builds.

<div class="info">
<p>There is currently a regression in AviSynth+&rsquo;s <code>capi.h</code> header as of
October 2016, which interferes with the ability for builds of FFmpeg to use
MSVC-built binaries of AviSynth. Until this is resolved, you can make sure
a known good version is installed by checking out a version from before
the regression occurred:
</p>
<p><code>git clone -b MT git://github.com/AviSynth/AviSynthPlus.git <br>
cd AviSynthPlus <br>
git checkout -b oldheader b4f292b4dbfad149697fb65c6a037bb3810813f9 <br>

<p>AviSynth and AvxSynth are loaded dynamically.  Distributors can build FFmpeg
with <code>--enable-avisynth</code>, and the binaries will work regardless of the
end user having AviSynth or AvxSynth installed - they&rsquo;ll only need to be
installed to use AviSynth scripts (obviously).

<p>The dispatcher is open source and can be downloaded from
<a href="https://github.com/lu-zero/mfx_dispatch.git">https://github.com/lu-zero/mfx_dispatch.git</a>. FFmpeg needs to be configured
with the <code>--enable-libmfx</code> option and <code>pkg-config</code> needs to be able to
