I've just been trying to transcode a .wmv into an .avi (at a more sensible data rate), but I found the resulting DivX .avi was smeared - only becoming clear at each keyframe (can't remember the exact name for them).

I thought this was a DivX issue so I altered settings etc, but things didn't improve.

I then checked the .wmv as opened within VirtualDub and saw that the smearing was occuring during the decode of the .wmv. However, the .wmv does play correctly in Windows Media Player and VLC.

I'm using v1.7 of the WMV plugin, in versions 1.8.6, 1.8.8 and 1.9.0 of VirtualDub.

Is this a known bug with the plugin, and is there a new version planned?

I was using Fcchandler's Wmv plugin to open the video into VirtualDub, and the K-Lite codec package for watching it through Windows Media Player.

It's Microsoft Windows Media Video 9 or ffdshow Video Codec or some other?

WMV input plugin not decode A/V. It just add support for input ASF container. For decoding A/V need required codecs installed in system (VfW and ACM, but not DirectShow filters).

And what if you use DirectShow input driver?

BTW
K-Lite not contain Windows Media codecs.

Sorry, my mistake - it says Microsoft Windows Media Video 9 (WMV3). How do I use the DirectShow input driver?

Download and unpack to plugins subfolder.
Or download and install VirtualDub Plugins Pack.

When open video file change file types to DirectShow input filter.

Thanks - using the DirectShow input filter, it's decoding properly now.
