hi,
i use virtual dub for a long time on my windows 7 32 bit machine.
now i switched to windows 8.1 with 64 bit. i installed
virtual dub 32
virtual dub 64
virtual dub portable
several single codecs (divx, xvid, ....)
several codec packs (k-lite, ...)

but i can't see any codecs in virtual dubs video compression menu.

does anybody know that problem. maybe win8 registers the codecs in a new way that virtual dub is not capable of?

Maybe you can already check the thread via the hyperlink below.
( dloneranger and myself giving advice on codecs not showing up in Windows 8.1 )

In Windows 7 32-bit, in Windows Registry, I do find several codec information in the following keys:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\drivers.desc]
"DivX.dll"="DivX 6.8.3 Codec"
"xvidvfw.dll"="Xvid MPEG-4 Video Codec"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32]
"vidc.XVID"="xvidvfw.dll"
"vidc.DIVX"="DivX.dll"
"vidc.yv12"="DivX.dll"

( maybe VirtualDub is looking in these particular places to find codec information... do you find these in Windows 8.1 ? )
( myself I do not have Win 8.1 so I can not confirm, but you can try to create these keys if they are missing, and verify if it changes something )

Some feedback is always welcome !
