VirtualDubMod and Matroska Files

[ONeill]

Hello,

i want to extract the Videoinformation out of my mkv file to an avi. I installed the lazyman mkv codec pack, furthermore i installed powerdvd for the mpeg codec and ffdshow for some other codecs.

If i try to load my mkv file with virtualdubmod, the programms loads the file, but at the end some errors appear.

The message box says something that a vfw driver should be installed and something with directshow.

What do i have to do/install?

Sorry that i haven't got the exact error messages. If nobody recognizes this error, i will post the error this evening.

Thanks for help

If it says something about finding the ÿÿÿÿ codec and forward references, don't bother, it can't be loaded into vdm. You can only load vfw-mode mkvs.

If it asks for codec h264 or avc1, then you have to enable h.264 decoding in ffdshow's VFW panel. It can be found in the start menu, or listed as one of virtualdub's video compressors.

Hello,

my mistake. I added the job to the job control and didn't recognized it :P

But if i try to save an error occurs that the algorithm for this videofile is not know

EDIT:

I now extracted the video file from the mkv file. It is an .h264 File. Can i put this file, containing this codec, into an avi file together with an .ac3 file?

You have to use avc2avi (http://mirror05.x264.nl/Sharktooth/x264/utils/avc2avi_r594.7z) to create AVI from h.264 file.

You have to use avc2avi (http://mirror05.x264.nl/Sharktooth/x264/utils/avc2avi_r594.7z) to create AVI from h.264 file.

Then use AVI-Mux GUI (http://www.alexander-noe.com/video/amg/) to add the AC3 audio to the AVI made with avc2avi.
