I use an Easy Cap capture card to record and I was using it to record. I looked at how the video came out and didn't like it. So, I wanted to redo it. I go to start recording, but no video was coming on the Virtual Dub screen. Please help me!!! |

Thats not a VirtualDub bug probably, more likely a case of missing codec or input plugin.
See here, or navigate to the List of Input Plugins thread in the Filter Development forum: http://forums.virtualdub.org/index.php?act...=ST&f=7&t=19488
Not familiar with Easycap, but most USB-based capture devices are marketed as being able to record from DVD, hence you are probably needing an MPEG2 decoder which I don't think comes packaged with Virtualdub by default. Failing that its probably H.274 mp4.
There are a variety of input plugins available for Virtualdub, I'd suggest downloading at least a few as once you have a few installed you can select which you want to use when opening a file by using the drop-down box for File Type and selecting which filter you want to use.
In my case, I added the ffmpeg input plugin, and the Direct Show input driver, and these handle most files, but there are specific MPEG2 and MP4 filters as well.
Obviously, some of these may not work without ffdshow installed, which are a compact, highly configurable set of direct show filters that compliment multimedia players such as WMP, MPC-HC, etc.

While I'm at it, MediaPlayerClassic-HomeCinema, in case you're still using MS's WMP which gets increasingly frustrating to use with each version: http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/

The other thing it can be of course if you're trying to directly capture using VD rather than just using it to edit the files from easycap, is that alot of the USB-based devices don't show up as eligible capture devices in Virtualdub I don't think.
You're probably best capping in the program that comes with the device, then re-editing it to look better in Virtualdub using the array of filters for fixing brightness, saturation, contrast,etc that it comes with, or which can be added on.
