Hi. If you have any troubles using DirectShowSource with some specific files,
it doesn`t mean that this is DirectShowSource`s fault. The way how (good or
bad) this source filter works is on 90% depends on installed DirectShow
splitters\filters and their settings. So if FLV doesn`t work properly for you,
it doesn`t mean that everyone will have the same issue (except for those 10%).
Also FLV, as far as I know, is VFR very often. The way how FFmpegSource2 is
used now (in XviD4PSP) can`t handle such files properly, unlike
DirectShowSource.

Sorry for taking so long to reply.
I had no idea VFR FLVs would not work that way.
Here's what I did.
Since I use CCCP, first I disabled FLV decoding in ffdshow VFW settings, then I
downloaded and registered Gabest's FLV Splitter. Now it plays (it didn't even
play before with DSS), but I only get audio and a grey video.
What's the correct setup for this?
I've only tested with YouTube FLVs (AVC).
Off-topic: It's just me or drag and drop stopped working with 5.10.260.0 (or
was it intentional)?

Your Problem is really strange.
I use CCCP and Xvid4PSP 5 too and I've no trouble opening youtube's flv files,
even youtube's webm are supported.
Don't forget that flv is constantly evolving and needs the latest CCCP.
BTW, FLV is just a container like mp4, it can contains either h264 or FLV1
videos, the later one needs the latest CCCP (gabest's FLV splitter is outdated
and won't work).
off-topic: drag and drop works fine for me, if it doesn't for you then it means
that you messed up xvid4psp's settings or the codec's settings.

If FFmpegSource2 works fine with this FLVs - just use it and don't look at
DirectShowSource. Or try recommendation from the comment above.
About Drag&Drop. I didn't change anything related to it and it still works*.
*But there is some problems with D&D, probably I will start a new issue for the
explanations..

Yeah, I tried Gabest's FLV Splitter because with CCCP's default settings, I
couldn't even seek the video after opening, and it can't be my XviD4PSP
settings, because it's a fresh install. I guess I'm gonna have to go with FFMS2
and use FLV Extract when it's VFR.
Off-topic again: false alarm, it seems that Drag & Drop problems with UAC are
known, since I had UAC disabled before re-installing Windows 7, I didn't know
that.

You know, if your flv is an h264 (AVC) video, you can just change the extension
from .flv to .mp4, it should seek fine then.
Of course this won't work if the flv is a FLV1 video file.

Yes, Drag&Drop will not work if UAC is ON (thanks to UIPI). But there is
another problem, sometimes Drag&Drop may stop working for unknown reasons (I
think it is somehow related to garbage collecting after closing\updating the
DirectShow preview), but after restarting XviD4PSP everything will work fine
again.. for some time..
P.S. I don't recommend you to change file extension. XviD4PSP for itself didn't
examine the file to determine the container, it fully trusts to file extension.
Same story may happens with other programms or filters (for example, Haali
Splitter will give you error message for such files).
Also, as far as I know, YouTube didn't use FLV for a long time. Currently they
use MP4 and WebM, and only old videos are FLVs. Are you sure your video is
really FLV and not renamed MP4? This is the only case when renaming it back to
MP4 will be a good idea :). MediaInfo can provide such kind of info as
container format (Format : Flash Video = FLV, Format : MPEG-4 - mp4).

Yes, sorry.
That's why I meant when I was saying renaming, only for AVC/h264 videos.
And I think that youtube still uses flv for SD videos under 480P.

Btw, you should try the latest CCCP beta and see if it works better.
main branch
Fixed a problem with settings not getting removed from registry after the 2011/07/30 stable, should work again.
lav filters branch
LAVSplitter's settings added to settings app's reset and the uninstaller's general removal.
FLVSplitter removed, LAVSplitter handles FLV now.
MPC-HC's and LAVSplitter's defaults changed to match the current CCCP setup.
