I recently used the latest V.D. and mod/filter for converting the wmv videos.
I have installed the latest ffdshow which is the only thing that will make vd. decode wmv files, this part was a pain in the _ _ _. After I finally got the wmv to show the video in wirtuladub, I then converted to avi/xvid. If I had chosen avi/dix the quality would have been severly degraded . So I thought if the quality would remain the same going xvid then thats what I would use, also my tv dvd player can play both xvid and divx.
After I played the finished xvid video, I noticed it was playing much faster using any of my 5 video players. The thing I can not understand is that file info says -original wmv video = 25 frames per second, and converted xvid file says also = 25 frames per second ,but when you view both videos you can see that the xvid is running faster. My biggest worry is if I re-encode the xvid to play slower ,then It may start skipping/deleting frames and then it will look really awful. Does anyone know if they have had this problem too ?
and what you do to fix this problem ?
ffdshow is a pain in the _ _ _ with all its different options.
Another problem I am having with the latest ffdshow is that if I try too use any other video converters or editors, with ffdshow, then both ffdshow and the editor/converter programs crash and freeze.
So why does only virtualdub run with the latest ffdshow ? anyone else who had this problem ? |
