Hey guys, so I have a problem:
I am using Virtual Dub and have installed the K-lite mega pack codec. (found here: http://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm)
I am using this to try and compress large files that I've made through FRAPS. The problem is is that when I go to Video -> Compression, the codecs aren't listed (I believe it should be x264fvw or something?)
I am running Windows 7, 64-bit OS, I've tried uninstalling and redownloading both vdub and the codec pack.
Any idea what's going on? |

For encoding to AVI in VirtualDub, you will need "video for windows" compatible codecs.
Take care to install 32-bits versions of these codecs when you have installed VirtualDub 32-bit.
Even so for 64-bits versions, must be equal.
You can find the x264vfw codec here:
> http://sourceforge.net/projects/x264vfw/files/
After installation you should find it in VirtualDub's Video > Compression... dialogbox.
Look into this thread for a print screen of common settings (thanks to dloneranger):

Thanks for the response. I installed that codec from the link you gave me, but I'm still not seeing it.

screen shot of my vdub after the install is complete: http://i.imgur.com/oh6OCJm.jpg
I have the 64 bit vdub because I run a 64 bit OS (win 7). Would going down to the 32 bit one help me? I'm not incredibly knowledgeable about this stuff. |

Yep, 32bit programs can only use 32bit codecs, 64bit programs can only use 64bit programs
So it should all work as long as you get the same version of both
Note: there are more codecs, filters and plugins available in 32bit versions only - and they'll run fine on a 64 bit OS

Well I was downloading the 64 bit codec with the 64 bit vdub, on a 64 bit OS. I didn't think there would be any problems, but as those screen shots show, I'm still not seeing anything. Any idea why this might be happening? I'm pretty lost. |

Sorry, but your screenshot don't show the 64bit version of x264vfw - the 64bit one is x264vfw64
Here's the link for both versions http://sourceforge.net/projects/x264vfw/files/

I'm getting this very same issue. I'm on Windows 8.1 64-bit and I've installed both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the VfW codec and of VirtualDub, but I get nothing showing up in either of them.
Other codecs seem to work - I've gotten the LAME MP3 codec to come up just fine and I'm getting the ffdshow encoder coming up (although bizarrely it's only got four or five entries, I distinctly remember it having x264 options in the past too).
But I don't get why it wouldn't work, I've always used VDub with the VfW H264 encoder and it works great on all my other machines. I thought maybe it's a Windows 8 thing, but the OP on this thread seems to have had precisely this issue with Win7.
Anyone have any ideas? |

ffdshow had most of it's encoders removed as they were iffy and they didn't want to keep supporting them
x264vfw works fine on win7, 8 , 8.1
I can't think of any codecs that have issues, even the old ones installed fine for me if run as administrator
Maybe you have a blank entry in your registry?

On 64 bit windows you'd have to check
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32]
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32]
