I downloaded a snowboarding video and added some music to it using Virtual Dub. I tried to play it in my Phillips DVD player, but all I got was the sound and message: Video Resolution Not Supported
I did a little research and found out that I can't play anything in my Phillips that has a resolution higher than 720x480 NTSC.
This is how I made my video.
I downloaded a youtube video using Youtube Video Downloader.
Then using VirtualDub, I opened the video file. At the top I clicked "Video," then "Full Compression Mode," then "Compression," then "XviD MPEG-4 Codec."
Next I clicked "Audio," and then "Audio from another file," (which allowed me to open the Journey audio file from my computer).
I then deleted some of the clips in the video, so as to fit with the music.
Then I clicked "Save as Avi."
Note: I know nothing about "configuring/configuration" on these programs.
I burned the avi. file to a disc. I played the disc in my phillips dvd player, and got only sound (no video). A message appeared: Video Resolution Not Supported
Can someone help me?
I don't know how to re-encode or re-create.
I'm good at taking instruction  |

When you open a video in VirtualDub, you can go to File > File information... to verify the "Frame size".
If the width is larger than 720 pixels, it will not play via the Philips DVD player.
In that case, you can use the "Resize" filter in VirtualDub, via Video > Filters > Add > Resize > OK.
In the "Resize"-filter settings, select
- New Size > Absolute > 720 x 404 (should keep the 16:9 ratio)
- Aspect Ratio > Disabled
- Filter mode > Lanczos
- Framing options > Do not letterbox or crop
- Codec friendly resizing > Do not adjust
OK
In the Video-menu, select Full processing mode, and then via Compression... select the Xvid codec
In the Audio-menu, select Full processing mode, and then via Compression... select MP3 codec
At preference when saving to a new videofile, select File > Save old format AVI... (= AVI 1.0 format).
Myself I also have a Philips DVD player/recorder, and I did find out that the AVI 2.0 format sometimes does not want to play.

If you have an USB connection in your flat LCD or LED TV, then you can put the video file on an USB memorystick and plug it in.
That is far more easy than writing files to a DVD, and also has the advantage that you can supersede/bridge the 720 pixels width limit. |

Abrazo, I could kiss you (on cheek - friendly). I just wanna cry, I'm so happy!
I followed your instructions and the video now PLAYS in my DVD player.
Yes, I'm happy, happy, happy!
You have answered my question PERFECTLY with very clear instructions for a "video put-together idiot" such as I .... lol
I am saving your post on notepad on my computer for future reference when I need to resize a video.
God bless you for taking the time to help,
Big Hugs,
Barb |

Two more little questions:
I have a video in which I would like a few little clips/parts in the video to go slow-motion. For example, a snowboarder skiing off a cliff - the part where the snowboarder is flying through the air, I would like to make slow-motion. Is that possible with VirtualDub?
Also, can I use Virtual Dub to take a lot of small clips/videos and combine them together to make one long video? |

1) At my opinion you will first have to isolate the part of video where you want to change the frame rate from, by cutting off the parts you do not need, and a File > Save as AVI...
To change the frame rate of that isolated part:
Please use the Video > Frame rate... dialogbox.
At "source rate adjustment", set the speed at which you like to play that part of the video, via "Change frame rate to:".
At "frame rate conversion", re-set the original speed of the video via "Convert to fps:".
2) To join multiple videos:
Just open the first video and then, via File > Append AVI segment... open the second video, and so on.
If the several pieces of video have equal names and a sequence number, like video_001, video_002, video_003, you can check the "Autodetect additional segments by filename"-option in the "Append AVI segment"-dialogbox, and they will load automatically.
Remark: you just have to take care that the several pieces of video have the same resolution, frame rate, video codec, ...
The most easy way to achieve this, is by first (re)creating them one by one with equal settings in VirtualDub and "Full processing".
Afterwards you should be able to join them with "Direct stream copy".
Once you have the final video, you can put the music on it. |

Once again, I say THANK YOU!
You really know your stuff!...and you have the gift of explaining instructions clearly enough that an idiot like me (Okay, amateur) can understand easily.
I will remember you every time I watch any of the videos I make, because I know it wouldn't have been possible without your help. I'm 52 and still have a long time to live; so you will be remembered for a LONG TIME, by me
Thank you again and God Bless You!
