Thank you for the info!
Solution 1 (QT plugin/fcchandler and AACacm codec) works fine, I can open the mp4 directly in VD (without using mp4cam2avi)
Solution 2 (FFMpeg Input Plugin) seems to open the file, displays the first frame, but when playing it comes up with an "error while seeking file"
Anyway the first solution is good for me! |

Good to hear that.
Myself I did a few tests with the FFInputDriver.vdplugin (dated 23/01/2014) and do not have any problem when opening 1280x720p MP4-files,
with H264 video-encoding and AAC audio-encoding (verified via File > File Information... > "FFMPeg Information"-dialogbox).
Regards.

I have for many years used the "tateu-plugin" without any problems for opening .mp4 files.
Am I outdated doing that?
The "tateu-plugin" requires that Quicktime is installed.

Will I gain anything using other plugins?

For opening MP4 files in VirtualDub, you have different options:
- tateu's QuickTime plugin that uses the Apple QuickTime framework
- fccHandler's QuickTime plugin that uses Video For Windows codecs and AAC ACM audio-codec
- DirectShow plugin that uses DirectShow video- and audio-decoders
- FFMpeg plugin that uses its own decoders (*.dll's)
There are so many ways to reach Rome, so who is going to tell you what is the best one ?
Most chances to have good video- and audio-quality, and to have a reasonable performance, is to use (most) recent versions.
The choice for a plugin will depend on the operating system that you are using and what video- and audio codecs (or decoders) are installed.

For x264 I find this one faster and better than the rest with Virtualdub
- fccHandler's QuickTime plugin that uses Video For Windows codecs and AAC ACM audio-codec
I have never used this one to know if better, same or worse than the above
- tateu's QuickTime plugin that uses the Apple QuickTime framework
Future for x265 in mp4 container will likely need then to use the slow next best. Maybe fccHandler could reappear to make some new plugins and updates his other plugins 
- FFMpeg plugin that uses its own decoders (*.dll's)
OT: I like think fccHandler is still with us on this coil. He is just unavailable atm (incarcerated, compulsory military service or similar). I do hope when he returns that everything is ok to visit here again as he did previously |

Tag "0162" should be WMA v9 pro audio encoding.
I think there is no "ACM"-decoder available for this format.
So, you will have to make that VirtualDub can use the "DirectShow"-decoders for WMV and WMA on your computer.
Via Microsoft Windows Media Player > Help > About Windows Media Player... > Technical Support Information,
a web page will show up with - among a lot of other information - a list of "Audio Codecs".
In the "Format" column you can see which audio-tags are supported by which module.
You shall find the 0162 at "WMAudio decoder DMO" (which is a DirectShow decoder).
Similar information for video-tags is available in "Video Codecs", below the list of audio codecs.
So, to use the DirectShow decoders in VirtualDub, you will have to download and install the DirectShow input plugin for VirtualDub.
More information about this, is available in the following topic: http://forums.virtualdub.org/index.php?act...=ST&f=7&t=15093
EDIT
As an alternative solution you can also install the FFMpeg input plugin "v816" for VirtualDub:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/virtualdub...peginputplugin/
Eventhough I am not sure if it supports the 0162 WMA audio-format.
Please do not try with v814 or v815 because these versions can make that VirtualDub crashes when opening WMV. |
