I tried to open a WMV file in VirtualDub-MPEG2. Decoder is ffdshow VFW.
The file opens, but there are strange colors on the right border of the video :angry:

Playback in MPC (ffdshow) or WMP is 100% okay!

Look here:

Any suggestions ???

FourCC is MP43

// edit 2

I use latest ffdshow (daily build).
Can somebody suggest a better VFW codec for that type of video?

If you don't have the original Microsoft codec that it's based on, change the FOURCC to DIV3 or DIV4 and install the DivX v.3.11alpha codec...

Does M$ provide a codec for decoding WMV ??? Remember: We need a VFW codec for VDub. The DShow filters (for example the ones that come with WMPlayer) won't work in that case.

How do I change the FourCC of a WMV/ASF file ??? And what sense does it make to enter a "wrong" FourCC ??? I don't think the DivX codec will be able to decompress WMV video...

Okay, I successfully changed the FourCC with the Hex-Editor. Now VDub uses the DivX codec for decoding. But now I see a black screen and no video at all. Seems like DivX is unable to decompress that type of video...
