I did a quick search, but did'nt find out how to do this. How do I import/export mov files? I'm interested in running deshaker. I some comments on ffdshow, but that does'nt seem to support mov.

Thanks!

With this you should be able to 'open' MOV-files with VirtualDub (after that you can edit, re-encode and save them as AVI-files):

1) Install VirtualDub (installing means : extracting the files to for exemple C:\Program files\VirtualDub\*.*)
> version 1.9.11 stable > http://sourceforge.net/projects/virtualdub...ad?source=files
or
> version 1.10.3-test11 > http://www.virtualdub.org/beta/VirtualDub-...10.3-test11.zip

2) Install QuickTime plugin for VirtualDub (installing instructions : see second part below)
> http://gral.y0.pl/~fcchandler/

3) Install ffdshow-tryouts (installing means double-click the 'ffdshow_rev4494_20121128_clsid.exe' file)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/

4) Install AAC ACM (installing means extracting the files and double-click the 32- or 64-bit *.bat file //or// right click the *.inf and install)
> http://gral.y0.pl/~fcchandler/

5) Start > "VFW (Video for Windows) configuration" (= ffdshow configuration) and
in the Decoder-tab, at Codecs : do 'enable' "MP4V" and/or "QuickTime video"
Menu shortcut = C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe "C:\Windows\system32\ff_vfw.dll",configureVFW

Start VirtualDub and open a MOV-file.

Thanks a million.

I downloaded the files you suggested. I can see the .vdplugins. I can also see the ffdshow directory.

How do I install the plugins? I did'nt see anything on the virtualdub site or on the fccchandler site.

Installing plugins (like QuickTime) for VirtualDub:
- open the QuickTime.ZIP file
- extract the QuickTime.vdplugin file to the "plugins32" subfolder of your VirtualDub installation
(so it could be C:\Program Files\VirtualDub\plugins32\quicktime.vdplugin)

Extra info:
Mostly, when opening a ZIPPED plugin-file for Virtualdub, you will find a 32-bit and a 64-bit version of the *.vdplugin.
You should install the version that corresponds to the xx-bit version of VirtualDub that you installed.
VirtualDub 64-bit will have a "plugins64" folder.
(so it could be C:\Program Files\VirtualDub\plugins64\quicktime64.vdplugin)

Thanks.

I copied the quicktime plugin. I can now open the file, although I can't see the video. It says "missing plugin avc1". I did'nt see it on chandler's page.

I tried running the aacm "Install the 64-bit codec.bat" file. I think it ran through, since it did'nt throw any errors.

Continue to take care on what 32/64-bit versions you install. This is also valid for ffdshow-installation ! (should correspond to the xx-bit of VirtualDub)

MOV, similar to FLV and AVI, is a container format with audio and video into it. The audio and the video can be encoded with certain 'codecs'.
In fact, what the QuickTime plugin is doing, is split (virtually) the MOV-file into an audio and a video part.
For decoding the audio it needs (mostly) the AAC ACM codec, for decoding the video it needs ffdshow's 'video for windows' part.
In the decoder settings of this last one, the codec that has been used (in the specific MOV-file that you open) must be enabled.

AVC1-codec can be enabled via the "VFW Configuration" menu of ffdshow:
> click the Decoder-tab
> in the left column : click Codecs
> at the right, at the first line "H.264/AVC" : click on 'disabled' and change it to 'libavcodec'.

Extra info:
If you should wonder the 'Video decoder configuration' and 'Audio decoder configuration' menu-items of ffdshow :
these are to be used with the DirectShow plugin that is also available for VirtualDub.

But, I should advise, do not go too fast, and first experiment a little bit with what you already have.
