I'm trying to use the VirtualDub WMV plugin (2.0) on VDub 1.9. I followed the instructions and put the plugin in the plugin folder, but anytime I import a WMV file, I get a black screen. If I export the file, it's all black, and just says missing codec. Help is greatly appreciated as this has been bugging me for ages.  |

You need to grab the ffdshow codec (http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/download.php) and go into the vfw configuration for it and set the wmv and vc-1 options from disabled to libavcodec. |

That helped me to see the video, but now I'm having trouble with the audio: "No audio decompressor could be found to decompress the source audio format (source format tag: 0161)"
What settings do I need in order to get the audio, too? |

I think that was the wrong one, try this one: http://www.videohelp.com/tools/DivX_WMA_Audio |

Well if that's the problem, then poop. |

So 32-bit VirtualDub on a 64-bit machine can't convert a WMV file with audio? Just making sure.
Windows Live Movie Maker produces output with WMA v2, per GSpot, so it's not an ancient hack. Some other converters can get from WMA to mp3, and I'm still hoping. |

32-bit VDub can, 64-bit VDub can't convert the audio but it can convert the video and direct stream copy the audio.
"Windows Live Movie Maker produces output with WMA v2"
Well...yes...because it's an MS product and thus has official codecs. They don't have an official codec available that uses ACM and ffdshow doesn't support it (at least not in the 64-bit version, not sure about 32-bit), the only ACM codec that I'm aware of that gives support for it is a 32-bit hack that wasn't open-sourced. |

Too bad. Most wmv files I've encountered have wma v2 audio, and if I understand you there's no audio decoder for that format in either 32-bit or 64-bit available to VirtualDub. |

You don't, 32-bit VDub CAN handle WMA v2 with a third-party codec. There just hasn't been a 64-bit version of the codec made (to my knowledge), and since the codec wasn't open-sourced anyone looking to port it would need to reverse-engineer the whole thing. So as long as you stick with 32-bit VDub (and there's no real reason not to) you'll be fine. |

I appreciate your help.
The problem is 0x0161 is two separate codecs. One is an ancient divx-related hack, and nothing on the web before, say, 2008/2009 is useful because they refer to getting this hack to play. The other is a newer Microsoft encoder, and that's the one VirtualDub refuses to recognize.
To obtain a file with the problem, just run any video through Windows Live Movie Maker. It'll play and the video will be handled in VirtualDub, but the sound is unrecognized.
I thought that the problem might be I'm using Shark007's codecs for Windows 7 and 64-bit, but reconfiguring and removing them doesn't help. I have the AC3 filter recommended above installed separately.
If you can play a wmv (with wma v2) movie with sound in VirtualDub, does File Information say what codec it's using?
Thanks for your patience, too. |
