Unofficial VirtualDub Support Forums > Testing / Bug Reports > Audio Only And No Video After Encoding

Posted by: HatMaster Sep 13 2013, 08:44 PM

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 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.

No, on the file menu, theres an entry 'file information'
That dialog shows how virtualdub is decoding the video

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 ?

ffdshow isn't under my current list of video compressors.

Right now, I've got:
-Cinepak Codec by Radius
-Fraps Videos Decompressor
-Intel IYUV Decompressor
-Logitech Video (I420)
-Microsoft RLE
-Microsoft Video 1
-Microsoft Windows Media Video 9
-x264vfw - H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec
-Xvid MPEG-4 Codec

Posted by: dloneranger Sep 16 2013, 03:30 AM

I'd try installing that (latest version from) https://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/files/SVN%20builds%20by%20clsid/generic%20builds/
After installing you'll have the ffdshow VFW configuration entry in your start menu
Then try the steps above

(It's a good 'decode lots of stuff' decoder)

Posted by: Abrazo Sep 16 2013, 05:06 PM

Maybe it is not so intelligent to ask for it, but given the fact that you do not talk about warnings or error messages, and also the fact that the File information dialogbox is showing you that the fraps decompressor is being used, ... the following question:

In VirtualDub's "View" menu, are the "Input video pane" and the "Output video pane" being checked, I mean is there a little "V" before their entries in the menu ?
If not, you will not get a preview at all, even if the right decompressor is installed.

Regards.

Ok, so it turned out that I didn't have the 'Output video pane' option checked off in the View menu. I turned that on and I'm now getting an image in the navigation.

However, I notice that when I press the preview button right next to the stop button, it's only showing a non-moving image with perfectly fine audio. That's not supposed to happen because I've seen how the preview button correctly works on VirtualDub tutorials I've seen on Youtube.

Posted by: Abrazo Sep 17 2013, 08:56 PM

I don't know how familiar you are with VirtualDub...
but normally you have 'two' panes that must be visible.

The left pane is the "Input video pane" and should show the original video
The right pane is the "Output video pane" and should show you a preview of the video after filters have been applied and before encoding has taken place.
Via the View menu:
- these two panes should be checked (= actif) AND
- in "Pane Layout" the option "Both panes" should be selected.

Via the View menu you can also 'swap' these two panes, but if I were you, I shouldn't do that (so leave this option unchecked)

When you click the 'Input playback' button (the one just at the right of the 'Stop' button), the Input pane should show you a moving picture.
If not, then try via the Options menu > Preferences >
- at "Display" : uncheck "Use DirectX for display panes", and/or
- at "3D Acceleration" : uncheck "Enable 3D video filter acceleration (VDXA)"

In the Video menu, you should select "Full processing mode", so you can be sure that also the Output video pane will show you a moving picture.

Verify if all this makes any difference.

QUOTE (Abrazo @ Sep 17 2013, 08:56 PM)

I've made sure the 'Both panes' option under the View menu is checked in addition to the 'Input video pane' and 'Output video pane'.

The Input pane is moving fine and the Output pane is staying still like you said.

Also, I've just tried the ffdshow Video Codec I recently downloaded. That worked, but the resulting file was 13 GBs, which I think is too big for Youtube. The original file I used was 31.9 GBs.

I'm currently testing each encoder a second time after the adjustments I made to see which one will give me a working file that is small enough. The x264vfw - H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec that I've seen a bunch of people recommend is one of the codecs so far not giving me working video.

Posted by: Abrazo Sep 18 2013, 05:57 PM

When using the "Output playback" button (the one at the right of the Input playback button), the images in the Output video pane at the right should also move.

Concerning compression:
Much depends on the resolution of images in the video (for exemple 720x404 or 1600x900) and the quality that you like to keep.
Normally you should need 10 � 30 MB for 1 (one) minute of video (including sound).

An exemple (look for the 'print screen') of settings for the x264vfw encoder is available here (thanks to dloneranger):

I used the exact same config settings you linked me for the x264vfw encoder, and I'm getting an error message saying:

"Cannot start video compression:

An unknown error occurred (may be corrupt data).
(error code -100)"

The x264vfw log says:
x264vfw [error]: x264_param_apply_profile failed.

Posted by: raffriff42 Sep 19 2013, 03:28 AM

"Error -100" usually means an odd resolution. For example, see:

Could you please post a http://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo report on your source file?
(MediaInfo view=text; copy all; paste between [CODE] and [/CODE] in your reply)

And could you please save your VirtualDub settings (File menu, save settings) and paste that in another CODE block?

True. But only Fraps, VirtualDub and x264 can produce RGB videos.
Look - http://i.imgur.com/wOHIKP6.png becomes grayscale after 420 conversion! Ban all 420s

Posted by: dloneranger Sep 24 2013, 06:03 PM

Yes, that's a carefully calculated image that's designed to have the chroma reduced to almost none when converted
In "general" though, most video doesn't have that problem
(1 dot of colour surrounded by 3 dots of monochrome)

You could equally do a yuv that can't be encoded in rgb, but that's not a reason to ban rgb

420's not perfect, but it's a decent compromise for filesize/quality
It was designed for film/video though, and not game captures, so your results may vary
