Thanks for help on this rather basic question. I was able to seperate the video i am working on into JPEG individual frames and edit now i need to re assemble it back into AVI format. I have all of the frames i know that as i checked. Can some kind person tell me how to return the files to AVI format? i could not find out how to do it from the controls. I did find how to decmpile the audio but need to know how to re connect that back too if possible Or i can remux it once i re convert back to MKV format.
Anyway help on this will be much appreciated as i would like to see my editing results. Thanks in advance. |

Arrange all the files in a single folder.
Have the files names Name.000.jpg, Name.001.jpg, Name.002.jpg, ..., Name.999.jpg
Just open the first file, Name.000.jpg, and all the rest will load automatically, then just config a codec and save an .AVI |

ah ok, it is working now...
i didnt realize to look for the JPEG segmented image selection on the file type.
can you give me any help on how to deal with preserving the original audio ? is there a way to export that at the same time as the individual frames? or do you export it as RAW audio and then re connect it when making the AVI restoration?
thanks, i am a lot closer now. |

When your original videofile is open (an AVI, or MKV, ...), then via File > Save WAV... you can extract the audio-track.
The format of this audio track depends of what settings are active in the Audio-menu: Compression, Conversion, ..., Direct Stream Copy / Full Processing
When choosing "Direct Stream Copy" (in case of an AVI file), audio will be extracted in its original form like it is in the AVI.
When your new video is reassembled, you can add the original track back into the AVI, via Audio, Audio from other file...
Again, the settings in the Audio menu for Compression, Conversion, ... will define the way it will be recorded in the new AVI...
You can set the Video menu to Direct Stream Copy. |

Abrazu thanks soooooo much! that was exactly what i needed to know I did find some of that on my own but you connected it all for me.
My final important question is how to set compression ...when i made a test AVI it stopped at 1/2 way due to a naming error i had sadly used...and it was 10 GB  so i see i need to set compression to get a reasonable size. Can you tell me please that one last important step?
my mistake was i used a number in the "name" for the files, as in AA1 so when it got to 19999 it could not advance to 20000...so i will have to create some BAT files to rename things once i figure out exactly what the naming will have to be ...sigh.
well i would rather be dumb all at once.
since this project has taken months already and i hand edited over 4000 frames, i will hopefully be able to save my work with re naming as it looks like the reassembly is going fine, and nice quality too. Virtual Dub is a virtual miracle worker....once the operator figures out how to use it. [B][/B] |

Please read "INSTALLATION of Audio- and Video CODECS for VirtualDub" in this thread:
> http://forums.virtualdub.org/index.php?act...=ST&f=6&t=21444
I would advise you to use the x264vfw videocodec and the Fraunhofer MP3 audiocodec (but of course you are free to choose for yourself).
For reducing the size of the resulting AVI, you know, you will have to compress the "Video" AND the "Audio".
Each of these two has it's own menu in VirtualDub.
To be able to choose Compression..., you must first select "Full processing mode".
After that, you can go to click Compression...
for settings for "x264vfw" codec, please look at the print screen in this thread:
> http://forums.virtualdub.org/index.php?act...1157&hl=x264vfw
for settings for "MPEG Layer-3"
> select a bitrate of for exemple 128kBit/s, 44.100Hz (or 48.000Hz), Stereo.
When sound does not need to be of very good quality, you can choose for a lower bitrate, when it is more important you choose for higher... |
