I only drag-and-drop.
And open files with "right click - Open With".
Eternally.
mp4, flv, mov, mts, m2t, vob, m4v, qt, ts ...
I NEVER use "File - Open file" dialog.

No problems whatsoever (except with AAC audio, alas).

You wish to check your configuration closely, I suppose.

I had a folder full of H264/AAC FLV files that would not open correctly with fcchandler's FLV plugin. Any FLV created with ffmpeg is not compatible with the FLV plugin. My only options were to either open each one separately with the directshow input driver or convert them all to MKV and use the MKV plugin to open with drag and drop.

If there was a way to to tell Virtualdub to use the directshow driver as default "open with" then I would not have had to convert all the files to MKV to get Virtualdub to open them correctly.

1) Open some file using the DirectShow Input Driver.
2) Go to "File -- File properties".
3) Type additional file extensions in the dialog, like:
flv
m2t
mts
mov
qt
mp4
m4v
...
whatever format extension you have directshow decoders to.

4) Close VirtualDub
5) REMOVE proprietary input plugins for FLV, MP4, QuickTime, other conflicting plugins, if any, from the "Plugins32" folder of VirtualDub.

...I'm sure you'll succeed...

I tried that before except I didn't remove the FLV plugin and it did not work. I uninstalled ffdshow and reinstalled it, removed the FLV plugin and it wouldn't open any FLV. Kept giving me an error (unable to set filename on media detector: hr=80040200). Put the FLV plugin back in and it opened regular FLV again but no 264/AAC FLV (Iwas able to open H264 FLV before with "Open With Directshow". Not sure why I can't now and I've lost thumbnail view for H264 FLV now. I've got ffdshow set to decode H264.

Maybe the new version of ffdshow is screwed up. I'll try an older version.

If you want to use the FLV input plugin you have to enable H.264 in ffdshow VFW interface => Decoder => Codecs
instead if you want to use the DirectShow input plugin you have to enable H.264 in ffdshow video decoder => Codecs

Additional note for DirectShow input plugin: Sometimes open directly doesn't work and you have to explicitely select "DirectShow input driver" in the open dialog and you cannot use drag 'n' drop in this case.

Download ffdshow-tryout from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/
or use the one inside the K-Lite Codec Pack.

PS: Upload one .flv that isn't compatible with the FLV input plugin so I can try.

Are you sure you have directshow FLV SPLITTER in your system?...
I'm afraid, many sorts of files require a SPLITTER, not just "a decoder". Like the Haali one for MP4, MOV, MTS, etc.

I've got FLV Splitter 1.0.0.5 from here:

If you use the FLV input plugin you don't need a splitter, just a VFW decoder (enable it in ffdshow VFW interface)
instead if you use the DirectShow input plugin, the file need to be playable with a DirectShow player like MPC-HC or Windows Media Player.

Something got mucked up in my system. I had everything set up the way it should be but it didn't work (I should say it stopped working because it did work before) so I uninstalled and reinstalled ffdshow, Haaili splitter and reregistered FLVSplitter.ax and everything is working the way it should be working again. I converted a working MKV to FLV with ffmpeg and dragged and dropped it into Virtualdub and it opened up the way it's supposed to. I also used the open with directshow input driver option and it opened just fine.

I had to update my video card drivers also because I was having an overlay problem that I didn't have before. Something screwed my system up pretty good. Might be time for another clean install of XP since none of my backups seem to be perfect either.

I have a large WMV file generated using Windows Live Movie Maker - 97 Mbytes. I want to cut the file size down to be able to include it in one of my websites. I have used VirtualDub in the past but am having a problem with this WMV file. I get an error message - "No audio decompressor could be found to decompress the source audio format - Source format tag: 0162."

I have loaded the VirtualDub plugin folder with the free codec package obtainable at videohelp.com/tools/virtualdub. This codec pack has enabled me to get VirtualDub to at least accept WMV files. I am using the Windows XP operating system.

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Post the MediaInfo log of the wmv file.

Have you tried with the latest version of the FLV plugin? http://fcchandler.home.comcast.net/~fcchan...er/Plugins/FLV/

Installed all codes and plugins as prescribed in the first post.

Now VirtualDub recognizes an mkv file however fails to open it. Instead it says

user posted image

Does anyone understand what options and where I gotta check?

please check your download links in the first post.
Norton stopped me stating one was a known malicious site.
I then stopped.

All links in the first post are good.
Beside that, there isn't any site more malicious than Norton itself biggrin.gif

All links are good. It would also have been nice if your information would have been more specific. It's rather hard to guess which link would be the offender if you don't have Norton installed.

I'm having a problem similar to other who posted on this topic about a year ago. I was wondering if the issue was resolved or explained and that I just haven't found it:

I was able to import a HD m2ts into virtualdub using the technique described at the start of this topic, then used filters to deinterlace the image and get everything looking nice.

However, when I save the new avi, it comes out with an incredibly slow frame rate. I've noticed that in virtualdub's framerate box it describes my clip as being 29.n frames, however, I was led to believe that it was actually 59.n frames. I've tried adjusting the frame rate many different ways, but always end up with an extremely slow frame rate and erratic, jumpy sound.

Can somebody explain to be a possible step I may be missing?

thanks in advance!
