Every time I try to encode a 40 - minute video made from FRAPS, I'm getting a file that is audio only with no video.
PC Details~ Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo Ram: 4 GB Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit Graphics Card: GTX 650
I already tried reinstalling the x264vfw - H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec. All the other encoders seem to have the same problem.
I already tried updated my video drivers.
Also, I've noticed that when I used a 15 second test video made from FRAPS, THAT worked but my 40 minute video didn't. Please someone tell me what I am missing. |

I would suggest getting the standard K-Lite codec pack. |

I vaguely remember doing that before, but I'll try reinstalling it. |

When you open the FRAPS video in VirtualDub, can you navigate through it (all the way from the beginning to the end) without problem ?
When video and audio encoders are set in VirtualDub and you preview via the Output playback button, does it play correctly in the Output pane (at the right) ?
Do you combine 32-bit VirtualDub with 32-bit encoders OR 64-bit VirtualDub with 64-bit encoders ? (Even so for inputdriver-plugins and filters.) NOT mixed, because that does not work.
During the compression process you can check the "Show decompressed video" checkbox (in the Status dialogbox) to see what the final result will be. |

Okay, I forgot to mention that there is also no video when navigating through VirtualDub. The file works perfectly fine in .VLC player.
Now I tried downloading both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of VirtualDub and both of them are missing video when navigating.
And just to make sure, I'm supposed to choose x264 encoder in the VIDEO - Compression options, and then go to FILE - Save as AVI, right? |

So there is a problem to read the fraps video in the first place.
If you are not able to view it in VirtualDub, you will not be able to encode it.
I think you will have the greatest chance to open it by installing the DirectShow inputdriver plugin for VirtualDub.
You can find it here: > http://forums.virtualdub.org/index.php?act...=ST&f=7&t=15093
Installing means unzip the DShowInputDriver.vdplugin into the plugins32 subfolder of your VirtualDub installation.
After that, when in the "Open video file" dialogbox of VirtualDub, first click once on the fraps file, then at "Files of type" do select "DirectShow input driver" and finally click on Open.
Once you can correctly open a videofile in VirtualDub so that you can see the images and hear the sound when you play it, then you should be able to re-encode it with the available codecs that you can find in Video > Compression... and Audio > Compression... |

> no video when navigating through VirtualDub You are not decoding Fraps videos correctly. Either reinstall K-Lite (which runs Codec Tweak Tool in repair mode), or run Tweak in repair mode manually. Also reinstall Fraps on the editing machine. |

I installed DirectShow inputdriver plugin for VirtualDub. Tried it, and it didn't work.
I reinstalled the K-Lite Codec Pack and made a new test video in my newly reinstalled FRAPS program. Video still isn't showing and I'm only getting audio. |

Are talking about the window that pops up after I click Video - Compression? |

No, on the file menu, theres an entry 'file information' That dialog shows how virtualdub is decoding the video You could copy out the text, or post a screenshot somewhere and add a link here

Not sure if that codec pack has ffdshow But if it has you could try this to see if that works ok
In the ffdshow vfw config page, on the decoder tab, scroll down to fraps and change it from disabled to libavcodec Ok the config dialog to close it Start virtualdub In the preferences dialog, go to the avi tab, and tick 'use video stream fcchandler in codec search' Pick 'open video file' on the file menu Select the video you're trying to load Tick the 'ask for extended options after this dialog' checkbox Click the open button
In the next dialog that appears Tick the 'force video codec handler FOURCC code to' In the box to the right of that enter FFDS Click ok
Check the file information dialog The decompressor should be ffdshow video codec (fps1) If it is, do you now get a picture when you move through the video ?
