Here a brief explanation is given of how to use the input plugin system to open some file formats that VirtualDub doesn't handle natively.
WMV, M2TS/MTS, MP4 and Matroska (and potentially many other types) via DirectShow
Requirements:
DirectShow input driver (place this in .\VirtualDub\plugins\)
Haali Media Splitter (for MP4, M2TS/MTS and Matroska)
ffdshow-tryouts (for MP4, M2TS/MTS and Matroska)
All you have to do is simply open the file in VirtualDub like you normally would. In case your file doesn't show up, select 'All files (*.*)' from the file type list and after selecting your file, select 'DirectShow input driver' from the file types list.

I'm leaving this topic open for a while so people can ask questions, write suggestions or give their own advice how to open a file with a certain plugin. Eventually it is going to be reposted and locked though.

I believe so.
Note: One needs to enable the handling of Transport Streams while installing the splitter. |

I'm using your method. I have installed everything you mentioned, and didn't change anything from the default settings. It still gives me an error.

It looks like you're trying to use VirtualDubMod, which does not support input plugins.
'Latest' version of VDM is based on VirtualDub 1.5.10 (december 2003!) - input plugins support has been added to VD since 1.7.2 version (may 2007).
Use current version of VirtualDub.

I've run into two problems with this.
The first is when I try to play the file, it gives me this error:
"No audio decompressor could be found to decompress the source audio format. Source format tag: fffe"
I solved this problem by going to "Audio" and selecting "No audio". If I remember correctly from the other thread, this problem still being worked on. I don't actually need the audio anyway.
But the other problem is that the files now play erratically. I think it has something to do with the default 30 fps limit. Watching the slider at the bottom, it says it's playing by 4 or 5 frame increments, when in fact it's displaying normally, but at half speed with the additional jump here and there. I tried playing around with the compression plug-ins, but none seem to have the right effect. Does anyone know how to fix this? |

If that is you error I'm not sure if you are using the DirectShow driver.
Do you see anything when opening the file, and then going to file > file information?
It could also be that the audio has more than 2 channels and VirtualDub doesn't handle this AFAIK. You would have to downmix yourself in the DirectShow filter.

That's correct.
In principle you can open any file you can open via DirectShow.

It can, but you can also try ffchandler's MPEG2 plugin for that.

Just want to confirm that I should install all three of the items mentioned in the first post.
Is there anything else that needs to be configured or should the default setting work? |

What would be nice would be a box that you could tick or untick to automatically open all files with the directshow plugin or use vfw codecs. It's a real pain having to select the directshow plugin in the dropdown list for every single file that you want to open when we could just drag and drop if we had this option. Would sure speed up the process when you're working in a folder full of unsupported files. |
