Hello all...
I am running the current version of Virtualdub and windows 8.1...
I also use quicktime pro to assemble a small clip from still Tiff files, I then save this small movie to AVI to deflicker in Virtualdub..... At the weekend VD was recognizing the AVI files and de flickering them, but today I am getting an error saying "Error reading source frame 0:Can't decompress etc????"
I don't know if it's quicktime that the files appear to be corrupt, but I am not doing anything different that I done with the weekends files???
Any help will be appreciated , many thanks Lance. |

The most easy way will be to install the FFMpeg inputdriver plugin for VirtualDub (thanks to dloneranger).
You can find it here (please try with version V0813):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/virtualdub.../?source=navbar
Installation means : unzip FFInputDriver.vdplugin into the plugins32 folder of your VirtualDub installation + unzip the *.dll files into plugins32\ffdlls
After that, start VirtualDub, click File > Open. In the "Open video file"-dialogbox do select the AVI and at "Files of type" do select "FFMPeg supported files". Finally click onto the Open-button.
Once the video is open, you can click File > File Information... to see which video- and audio-decoders have been used.
Eventually, you can still install the "video for windows"-compatible video-codec that is needed to open that same AVI without having to use the FFMpeg inputdriver. |

Maybe compressed in MJPEG ?
Try after checking both "Prefer internal video + audio decoders over installed third party codecs" in VirtualDub, via Options > Preferences > AVI.
See what this gives ...

Please post a MediaInfo report on your problem video.
Also, please post VirtualDub's error log:
* try to open file;
* it fails;
* hit View, Log;
* right-click, Copy;
* paste the log in your reply
(hint: restart VirtualDub just before doing this or the log may be quite long) |

>plugins32\QuickTime64.vdplugin
I think I see the problem... (you need to get the 32 bit plugin)
Also,
> C:\Users\Reed Family\Desktop\music for time-lapse\plugins32
"plugins32" needs to be below VirtualDub's home folder (containing VirtualDub.exe)

Yes, it's called Avisynth
It's not really a plugin, it's a video filter scripting language and a video frameserver. What that means is you can write something like this in your favorite text editor: | CODE | | ImageSource("filename-%03d.tif", start=0, end=999, fps=30.00) |
... save as <something>.avs, and open the text file in VirtualDub as if it was an .AVI.
The example assumes your TIF files are named "filename-000.tif" through "filename-999.tif."
- "%03d" means "three-digit integer in an ascending sequence."
- "start=0, end=999" is the first and last frame number to import.
See http://avisynth.nl/index.php/ImageSource
Once you have successfully imported your images, you have a wealth of video filters available. Google "avisynth deflicker" ...
If you need help (within reason), just ask!

Ah yes, my memory is hazy, but I think I had to do this some time ago (from the wiki page) | QUOTE | | 1.7.8 DevIL.dll can be downloaded here. Just put the DevIL.dll in your system folder (it will overwrite the 1.6.6 DevIL.dll which comes with AviSynth). |
(BTW DevIL is short for "Developer's Image Library") |

Please post your script (you probably forgot to add quotes around the file name & path)

Remove the "filename= ":
ImageSource("filename= C:\Users\Reed Family\Desktop\xsky\xsun-%03d.tif", start=0, end=250, fps=25.00)
This should work:
ImageSource("C:\Users\Reed Family\Desktop\xsky\xsun-%03d.tif", start=0, end=250, fps=25.00)
Test with 1st image only:
ImageSource("C:\Users\Reed Family\Desktop\xsky\xsun-000.tif") |
