Excuse me, i have a question about how to install this. I assumed we are supposed to place the .vdplugin file into the virtualdub plugins32 folder, right? But where do i put the .cpp and .def files that are left in the archive? Thanks.

Yes, those are the source code files. Anyway, the download link is dead. Luckily, people uploaded the plugin to temp hosts.

But is it supposed to work with v1.9.9?

I get this error message:
QUOTE
Unable to locate a video codec to decompress the video codec 'avc1' (unknown).

1) Your error message does not have anything to do with MP4 Input Plugin. It is related to codecs.

2) I would suggest total switching to DirectShow Import Driver for all file types serviced by the third-party plugins earlier, except for MPEG2 Input Plugin.

I use DirectShow Import Driver very sucessfully for .mp4, .mov, flv, .ts, .mts, .m2ts files.
I uninstalled the corresponding old plugins, and I feel quite happy about all that.

Just remember to type extensions you need in DirectShow Import Driver's dialog properly - otherwise the driver won't grab the graph:

mp4
mov
flv
ts

and so on.
No dots, no "stars" (ie NOT like "*.mp4").

You're a bit late posting to this one, it's 4 years old ;-)

For decoding non-avi files you use an input plugin from http://forums.virtualdub.org/index.php?act...=ST&f=7&t=19488

There are specific ones like the Quicktime plugin that's for mp4 and mov
And there are also general purpose ones
-> FFMpeg plugin
-> DirectShow plugin

The specific ones can normally let you do direct stream copying if you need it, but need VFW and ACM codecs
DirectShow - no direct stream copying, needs DirectShow codecs
FFMpeg - no direct stream copying - needs no codecs at all

To use them you download the correct file - usually it's a .zip that you have to extract the contents from
(You must use the same version as virtualdub, 32bit plugins for 32bit virtualdub and 64bit plugins for 64bit virtualdub)
Then put the file(s) into virtualdub's plugins32 (32bit) or plugins64 (64bit) folder
Start virtualdub
Use the open video file dialog on the file menu
Select the file you want to open, but before clicking OK, change the 'files of type' dropdown to the plugin you want to use, then click OK

FFMpeg plugin is the one that's probably your best bet, and on it's downloads page at sourceforge there's even an installer for people unfamiliar with .zip archives

That's probably the original fcchandlers site then - there are mirrors of that also on the page, and in my sig

The bitness of the OS doesn't matter (apart from 32bit OS can't use 64bit programs)
32bit virtualdubs use the 32bit plugins and filters, and they go inside virtualdubs 'plugins32' folder (or 'plugins' for older virtualdubs)
64bit virtualdubs use the 64bit plugins and filters, and they go inside virtualdubs 'plugins64' folder (or 'plugins' for older virtualdubs)

To open files with a specific input plugin
File menu->open video file
Select file in dialog
Change 'files of type' dropdown to the plugin you want
(Check 'ask for extended options after this dialog' if you want to see the plugins options dialog before the video is loaded)
Click 'open'

dloneranger, I downloaded the last version of VirtualDub, added all needful plugins and codec WMV9 VCM, but he doesn't appear in compession section, when I add a wmv file, it says that "Missing codec", but older version of VirtualDub (1.5.4.1) has it and it works, I don't understand why... if there I can't add wmv and other plugins, can you tell, what I'm doing wrong?

That might not have the right codecs in for the wmv file - you need the right codec and also the same bit'ness as the version of virtualdub you're using (32bit codecs for 32bit programs etc)
Virtualdub's file information dialog should give a code for the codec used, or
MediaInfo can tell you what codecs etc a file uses http://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo/Download/Windows

I just use the ffmpeg plugin one for everything though as it generally "just works"
wmv's in particular can be created in a way that causes trouble, with no seek indexing etc
AsfBin can reindex these though http://www.radioactivepages.com/asfbin.aspx

Forgot to say that I've downloaded x64 version of VirtualDub, cause I have a x64 system
I know what codecs I need for VirtualDub, I'm familiar with that

Sorry, but maybe you haven't fully understood me, I don't need to create wmv's, I'm interested to convert from wmv (format and codec), mp4 (format) with H264 (codec) and others (don't like them for agressive using of CPU and are unreadable by most home DVD players) to avi (format) with XviD (codec)

Can you tell, what plugin I must use for webm format support by VirtualDub? I mean that he might see webm files, cause now he doesn't see them...

If I understand correctly AsfBin is a separate program, is not implemented in VirtualDub?

Also, I want to ask, for files with Windows Media Video 7/8 codecs I need another plugin in VirtualDub, Windows Media Video 9 codec support wouldn't handle them?

64 bit OS can run 64 bit programs and 32 bit programs

wmv9vcm is 32 bit, so won't work in 64 bit programs

FFMpeg plugin

Correct, it's a wmv fixer for troublesome files

for files with Windows Media Video...

so why the developers wouldn't make codecs and plugins for both version 32 bit and 64 bit, if it's the same program? or why developers of VirtualDub wouldn't make usable in 64 bit program codecs and plugins that was already made? then wouldn't be need to make codecs and plugins for every version (32 bit and 64 bit) of programs

hope it's the right FFMpeg plugin link for VirtualDub what you mean, if not, please, give the right link, initially I confused it with ffdshow

can you tell, where did dissapear Streams section from menu in last version of VirtualDub? I want to use Video comments section, maybe you know, when in AviInfo it's wrote Created by: VirtualDubMod... the last version of VirtualDub don't write there anything

by the way, how to resolve this problem?:

user posted image

this is detailed info of the file:

but don't tell me that is missing some codec, cause I'm already converted a file with the same parameters, I've already installed DivX WMA Audio Compressor and in audio compression section have Lame MP3 and MPEG Layer-3 codecs for convert

Brilliant idea
Now figure out how to do it, and let microsoft know, you'll make loads of money

QUOTE

Virtualdub has NEVER had a streams menu
VirtualdubMOD did, but that was a modified version of virtualdub made by someone else, who stopped supporting it

QUOTE

File menu->set text information

QUOTE

That's an error in your source file, it's damaged and the codec can't decode it -that divx one is a particularly lame/old/hacked version of microsofts one
Chop that bit out, use a different plugin/codec that may ignore the error, or select a different error mode from the audio menu

The link for the FFMPeg virtualdub plugin (not ffmpeg the program) is in my sig, look down a bit from here and it's right there
Also available from the long list of plugins here-> Links to Virtualdub Filters and Input Plugins

where do I know, the developers must know, they created it
for ex. some programs are made universally for both 32 bit and 64 bit systems

why microsoft must know about this?

QUOTE

more precisely, please, there are lot of lines, where concretely to write?

QUOTE

MediaCoder decoded it successfully, but I don't like the quality what result after decoding, so I prefer VirtualDub

QUOTE

for ex. what different codec? I don't know what codec for decoding it used now

QUOTE
select a different error mode from the audio menu

I tried, no effect
