Unofficial VirtualDub Support Forums > VirtualDub Filters and Filter Development > Quicktime / Mpeg-4 (mov / Mp4) Plugin Not Working


Posted by: m12462 Jul 31 2014, 07:10 AM
I downloaded the "QuickTime / MPEG-4 (MOV / MP4)" Plugin from the "Pinned: Links to Virtualdub Filters and Input Plugins" section at the top of the page...

The installation process seemed simple enough but when I tried to open my first MP4 in Vdub, I got the following error message:

I loaded the video in question into GSpot for the pertinent info (below). Did I download the wrong plugin for the video I wanted to edit or, if not, is my mistake obvious.

Any assistance would be appreciated. Being able to open MP4's would be extremely help to me.

Thanks!!

That and requires Quicktime to be installed
The MP4 plugin (fcchandlers) is better but requires that you have the right VFW and ACM codecs installed, usually x264vfw and the aac codec in my sig

The FFMPeg plugin can open almost everything without codecs etc, but you can't do 'direct mode' copying
The DirectShow plugin uses any installed DirectShow codecs, but you can't do 'direct mode' copying

Thanks dloneranger! I downloaded the FFMpeg Input Plugin but when I unzipped it, I simply had an "ffmpeg" folder with three sub folders in it...

Can you give a brief explanation on how to actually install this plugin so it will open my mpeg files in Vdub?

Thanks again!

That's the source code in case you wanted to compile it yourself

The plugin's available as a .zip with the 32 and 64 bit versions inside
http://sourceforge.net/projects/virtualdubffmpeginputplugin/files/V0816/VirtualdubFFMpegPlugin_0816.zip/download
If you have 32bit virtualdub, extract the plugins32 folder to virtualdubs location
If you have 64bit virtualdub, extract the plugins64 folder to virtualdubs location
