Sometimes I come across a video file with "outrageous" dimensions.
Right now I have a YT mp4 download with 1080x720 dims.
I cannot preview/playback such files in ViDub on my XP laptops -
not when loaded directly into ViDub nor when loaded via avs - whether or resized.
CPU usage goes to 100% and locks up the playback.
This means I cannot preview & edit out the video before (re)dubbing.
I spent quite some time this weekend searching the web for avs preview options.
There are several apps/utils dedicated to avs editing/previewing.
Some won't preview/playback this file.
Some (avsP-mod / MeGUI) will preview the this file - but with no audio & only one frame at a time.
(TmpegEnc & MPC-HC have the same avs preview/playback problem as ViDub.)
AvantiGUI 066 with the latest FFmpeg build listed @ videohelp.com
will actually preview/playback this file.
(This mp4 file has a variable frame rate, so I use ConverFPS=True in the avs script,
but have to remove that setting for proper A-GUI playback!)
The "problem" now is that the A-GUI shows the current timestamp but not frame count.
I could still do pre-dub editing based on A-GUI timestamp info,
but wonder if there might be (or already is) some way
to set ViDub to use FFmeg for preview/playback?
... or some other work-around / solution to this issue? |

| QUOTE (Abrazo @ May 28 2012, 12:55 PM) | 4) Maybe the resources of your Window XP computer (CPU and/or memory)
are not sufficient to play this kind of "outrageous" content
Do you see much difference in performance when respectively
using the DirectShow, QuickTime or FFMpeg plugins? |
Well, as I stated/posted previously/above,
| QUOTE | AvantiGUI 066 with the latest FFmpeg build listed @ videohelp.com
will actually preview/playback this file. |
so it seems that my XP systems are capable of playing
videos files with outrageous dimension -
with the RIGHT software ...
Anyway, I was/am asking if opening such files into ViDub with the FFmpegID,
would then make ViDub use FFmpeg for playback ... like AvantGUI? |

| QUOTE (Abrazo @ May 29 2012, 08:01 PM) | But what I proposed was to only leave the FFInputdriver
(and thus also remove the DirectShow inputdriver).
FFInputdriver can open *.MOV, *.MP4, *.FLV, *.AVI (DIVX, ...),
and also MPEG2, VOB, ...Did you even try it ? |
No I did not (yet) try it.
This "discussion" has its roots in the kbps vs bps issue.
It does not seem to me a necessary thing to do; i.e.,
remove everything except FFmpegID.
I have to use utilities like MediaInfo to retrieve certain info about videos
(that ViDub does not specify - see other/relevant thread),
so I retrieve (when necessary) the kbps data from said utilities.
It still seems to me that it would be a nice feature
to be able to specify a parameter in the contextmenu commandline
that would specify an inputdriver (DSID, FFmpegID ...)
| QUOTE (Abrazo @ May 29 2012, 08:01 PM) | So in the proposed circumstance:
In Windows Explorer, right click on a videofile,
choose "Open with" and go to your VirtualDub.exe. |
You think I do not kow how to use the XP contextmenu?
