You'll have to be patient, I'm afraid. If he's still working on it, I'm sure you'll hear about it here. |

@KornX:
Sorry my friend, but I'm not really working on it anymore. The source code and binaries will stay on my site though, for as long as I continue to own the site.
The truth is, I'm rather bored with the whole digital video thing nowadays. It has dominated my life for the past five years or so, but now it's just getting old. The magic has gone away...
I sincerely doubt that I will ever update VirtualDub-MPEG2 again. But the source code will always be there if anyone else wants to pick up the torch.
Best wishes, fccHandler

Here's a build of the latest VirtualDub-MPEG2 without the ASF_VBR_FIX code. It fixes seeking to keyframes. |

I only disabled some experimental code that was supposed to allow accurate seeking through ASF/WMV files with VBR audio (it also changed the way seeking to video frames was done, for what reason I'm not sure, but this is what caused the problems when trying to seek to keyframes). |

ffchandler thanks for this wonderful mod and for the great achievement!
phaeron -> why don't you integrate the mpeg2 reader into the official version? especially now that fcchandler is retiring. If not you probably have a good reason, what is it?
This mod is very very good and useful, it shouldn't die like this. |

Does anybody compile VirtualDub v1.6.17 with mpeg2 import function? On http://fcchandler.home.comcast.net/stable/ there are only the 1.6.15 build.
thanks |

While you are waiting for either an updated VDub-MPEG2 or for Phaeron to emplement MPEG2 support and WMV support, you can always use an Avisynth script to open these files in 1.7.1 |

Maybe someone with coding/proggin skills could pickup the mpeg2 & wmv code from VirtualdubMPEG2 and merge it with the newer codebase.
Millions of users would appreciate it for sure . |

When I choose to import audio ("wav, mp3, ac3"), I only manage to import WAV (otherwise it complains it's not a WAV file). Why is that?
Also, I really would admire the author if he let us also import MP2 audio files. |

The MP3 and AC-3 import functions are very simplistic, and might not always work. In particular...
The detection part will fail if the audio file doesn't begin with a clearly recognizable MP3 or AC-3 audio frame, OR a valid ID3v2 tag leading to a clearly recognizable MP3 frame. It will not search for these elements; they must be present right at the beginning of the file. If not, then my code gives up immediately, and relinquishes the file to VirtualDub's default WAVE loader. This sounds like what is happening to you.
But even if the detection part succeeds, the parsing part will fail if the audio uses a variable bitrate, because the parser assumes that all audio frames will be the same size. In this case, the result will probably be garbage, or a crash.
I haven't spoken much about this in public, because the MP3 and AC-3 import functions were a private experiment of mine, and it was an accident that they were compiled into the public release of VirtualDub-MPEG2 1.6.15. 
| QUOTE | | Also, I really would admire the author if he let us also import MP2 audio files. |
MP2 support probably wouldn't be difficult to add; the code to modify is in AudioSource.cpp. I didn't write in MP2 support myself, I guess because I've never had an ACM MP2 codec installed on my system.
I'd like to improve the audio import functions, but I haven't touched the source code in a LONG time, and I can't promise that I'll get around to it any time soon.

@fccnomorehandler
What a year: 3.8. my Mother died. Reason: Age. 6.30. my girlfriend died. Reason: Brainstroke (would you say so in english too?). Now VD-MPEG2 died. Reason: I'm rather bored with the whole digital video thing nowadays.
It seems to be useless, to argue with the third reason as well as with the first two. It sounds so final! What a pitty!!!!!
Here: http://www.rulernet.de/ (Video-Freaks) you will live forever!!!
As I told you years ago, here in Germany you are a hero! All those timing problems don't apply to our CCIR-Standard (25fps). The skew of 80ms (2 frames) we learned to ignore.
No, my friend, I do not ask you to become unbored with the whole digital video thing :-) No, my friend, I do not ask you to waste power with your PC (I'm a fan of Al Gore)! No, my friend, I do not ask you to make the world a bit better with VD1.7 MPEG2.
No, my friend, I do not ask you to.......... No, I'm down on my knees and I'm crying: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!!!
With love of a video freak Ronie |
