Can VirtualDub do Mov, Mpeg, Mp4, ASF, WMV, FLV...?

[Moitah]

it will open vp6 flv, but all i get is black screen (of correct dimensions) and audio, no errors, any clues?
I should probably just make it show an error if it can't find the right decompressor. Anyway, you need a VFW decompressor that can decode the 'VP6F' FourCC. The only one that I'm aware of is the one in ffdshow-tryouts. It might not be enabled by default so you will have to look in the VFW configuration.

tnx, but still no go, same results.
-virtualdub1.7.6 + ffdhow tryout - i have enabled decoding for everything that was found to smell like flv or vp6
-file info in virtualdub doesnt return anything
-have installed flv-splitter

(it's not that i wont survive without flv decoding in virtualdub, it's just anoying to let the computer to win ;))

VP6F switch-on in ffdshow VfW wrapper configuration?
ffdshow video encoder configuration > Decoder > Codecs

Not DirectShow - ffdshow video decoder configuration.

-file info in virtualdub doesnt return anything
Yes, unfortunately can't use File Information for FLV's at this moment.

-have installed flv-splitter
Unnecessary, if You use VirtualDub and input plugin.

And if not have VfW decoder, yes - You see black screen without any message.

[smok3]

Placio74, care to share your ffdshow config? (*.reg)

[mgh]

seems that the qt plugin allows loading mp4 with h264 main profile.

I finally finished a new version of my FLV input plugin :D. It requires at least VirtualDub 1.8 because it uses the new VBR audio support. I added code to insert drop frames to help maintain constant framerate; this actually works great for the majority of variable framerate files I've seen (i.e. originally constant framerate but the encoder skipped some duplicate frames; it's not designed or tested for videos with mixed framerates). I also implemented the File Information window. Enjoy!

I'm check some FLV's in both versions - without this problem.

Give me link to this video or upload file, example on http://kotuha.com.

[Moitah]

@Placio74: Thanks for posting the new version here, I almost forgot about this thread :D.

@Taurus: Which OS are you running? I think that error is because the new version uses _wfopen to open the file, which allows it to handle unicode filenames, but I guess doesn't work in Windows 9x.

[Taurus]

Yeah, I forgot to mention the OS was Win98 on a short test.
So unicode should be the pulprit.
And of course, on my XP machine it works.
Sorry for cluttering this thread.
And I hope maybe someday Win98 support is back :)

[Placio74]

Hmm... and if You install Unicode Layer for Windows 95/98/ME (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=73BA7BD7-ED06-4F0D-80A4-2A7EEAEE17E2&displaylang=en)?

[Taurus]

It's already installed a long time ago.

[trodas]

Well, looks like something more usefull in the terms of FLV video is finally there, thank you! :devil:

Now I just have a simple problem - the VirtualDub is complaining that "Unable to locate a video codec to decompress the video track." ... And to this moment I thought that my ffdshow tryout revision 1625 from Nov 18 2007 should do the job. Or do I need to configure it somehow, or...?

I should mention that FLV play well for me in BSplayer/MediaPlayerClassic and VLC player (and probably others too) and the options for FLV are enabled and even the FLV splitter is installed, from the guide there:
http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/how_to_play_flv_files.cfm

[Placio74]

VirtualDub + FLV input plugin
Require ffdshow VfW wrapper.

ffdshow VfW > ffdshow video encoder configuration > Decoder > Codecs > FLV1 = libavcodec / VP6F = libavcodec

how hard/impossible would it be to 'por't ffmpegsource to virtualdub?

MPEG-2 plugin by fccHandler, Version 2.6 (2008-05-17)
http://fcchandler.home.comcast.net/Plugins/MPEG2/

Version 2.6 (May 17, 2008)

* I've decided to remove the "ignore sequence boundaries" checkbox and make ignoring sequence end codes the default behavior. (This is actually what VirtualDub-MPEG2 does.)


Version 2.5 (May 16, 2008)

* I've added some robustness in the way broken sequences are handled. Hopefully this will eliminate the need to ever use the "ignore sequence boundaries" checkbox.


Version 2.4 (April 4, 2008)

* Fixed a bug in which the first frame of a single-frame MPEG was not shown.

* Fixed an off-by-one rounding error in the reported skew of File Information.


Version 2.3 (March 22, 2008)

* Fixed a bug in AC-3 parsing which caused some stereo AC-3 streams to be reported as having 3 channels.


WMV plugin by fccHandler, Version 1.5 (2007-05-16)
http://fcchandler.home.comcast.net/Plugins/WMV/

Version 1.5 (May 16, 2008)

* I recently discovered that support for WMA (audio only) files was broken. It is fixed now.


FLV Input Plugin by Moitah, Version 1.1.0 (2008-05-07)
http://www.moitah.net/download/latest/FLV_Input_Driver.zip

An input plugin for VirtualDub (1.8.0 or newer required) that allows it to open FLV files. H.263 and VP6 video are supported. MP3 and PCM audio are supported.

To install it, unzip FLVInputDriver.vdplugin to your VirtualDub\plugins folder. Make sure ffdshow-tryouts is installed, open "VFW configuration" (not "Video decoder configuration" which is for DirectShow decoding) from its Start menu group, go to the Decoder tab, Codecs section, and make sure FLV1 and VP6F are set to libavcodec.

To convert FLV to AVI without any editing or filtering, load a FLV in VirtualDub, make sure "Direct Stream Copy" is selected in both the Video and Audio menus, and choose "Save as AVI" from the File menu.


QuickTime Input Filter by tateu, Version 0.2.0.0
http://www.tateu.net/software/dl.php?f=qtvd_bin
http://www.tateu.net/software/dl.php?f=qtvd_src

Some of the changes/fixes:
A) Fixed a bug or three (and probably added 4 or 5 new ones).
B) Audio decoding now works.
C) Implemented the "Ask for Extended Options Dialog" (this controls the options contained in "Quicktime.ini").
D) When a movie is opened in YV12 or YUY2 mode, decoding to RGB32 is also available (this should make the preview for most, if not all, video filters work). Although, this almost didn't need to be done. I noticed there was a nice addition to VirtualDub v1.7.6 that allows video filter preview windows to open YV12/YUY2 video...thanks.
E) Creates 320x240, 30fps blank video for an audio only file (aac, etc.).

:thanks: for the update, Lord Mulder
Heavens, nice plugins! Maybe it's time I switch entirelly from VirtualdubMod :p

MPEG-2 plugin by fccHandler, Version 2.7 (2008-06-21)
http://fcchandler.home.comcast.net/Plugins/MPEG2/

Version 2.7 (June 21, 2008)

* Fixed some problems with chroma planes in 4:2:2 Profile decoding.

* Removed the "choose an audio stream" popup, because VirtualDub 1.8.1 now supports multiple audio streams in its GUI.


WMV plugin by fccHandler, Version 1.5 (2008-05-16)

I also implemented the File Information window. Enjoy!

[0.3.0]
I implemented TimeToPositionVBR/PositionToTimeVBR based on the audio tag timestamps. It seems to work pretty well, maybe I'll just leave it like this, but I'm not sure yet. Also, PCM audio might work with this version, but I don't have a FLV file to test it with (only have one .flv with PCM but there's no video stream). The synch in most files is pretty good now. I did spot one file that was quite a bit off but it isn't a problem with the audio, rather because the framerate of the video was variable.

[0.2.0]
... it supports MP3 audio (the vast majority of FLV files) but the synch will probably be messed up until I can code it properly.

[0.1.0]
There is no audio support yet but I will be working on it tonight. It uses the FourCC "FLV1" for H.263 and "VP6F" for VP6, so you need a decoder to handle those. ffdshow-tryouts contains both, be sure to enable them in the VFW configuration.

I have to assume your version of ffdshow is really archaic...

http://www.tateu.net/software/dl.php?f=qtvd_src

Some of the changes/fixes:
A) Fixed a bug or three (and probably added 4 or 5 new ones).
B) Audio decoding now works.
C) Implemented the "Ask for Extended Options Dialog" (this controls the options contained in "Quicktime.ini").
D) When a movie is opened in YV12 or YUY2 mode, decoding to RGB32 is also available (this should make the preview for most, if not all, video filters work). Although, this almost didn't need to be done. I noticed there was a nice addition to VirtualDub v1.7.6 that allows video filter preview windows to open YV12/YUY2 video...thanks.
E) Creates 320x240, 30fps blank video for an audio only file (aac, etc.).

Thx!

WMV plugin by fccHandler, Version 1.6 (2008-06-30)

I see buffer problem is fixed. Thx for developer!
2006-06-30? lol. Today is 2008-07-09 :)

But one old problem is stay. Few wmv files after converting wmv to avi, the result file audio/video sync is bad. This problem stay (without wmv plugin) if I open wmv with avs (DirectShowSource).

Can You upload some sample files (example on http://kotuha.com)?

Hi!

Thx, but my first language is not english. My "problematic" wmv files language is hungarian, and I think u don't see A/V sync errors in converted files...

Maybe, but i'm think still possible find specific points to check A/V sync.

BTW
What's Your Avisynth script?
Example...
DirectShowSource("d:\file_name.wmv",fps=25, convertfps=true)
FPS value is example - need to check before used MediaInfo or Windows Media ASF View.

Hi, yes, with or without convertfps paramter, the result is bad (A/V sync error). FPS value is important, I know ;)

My (one) problematic file data (http://images.netbag.hu/20080709/15150497878.png)

If I play this file with player apps, A/V sync certainly good.

Some news update ;)


VirtualDub 1.8.3, Build 29896 (2008-07-20)
http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/

Build 29896 (1.8.3, stable): [July 20, 2008]

* regressions fixed
- Fixed issue where main window failed to appear on first start on some systems.


Build 29883 (1.8.2, stable): [July 19, 2008]

* features added
- JobControl: Job control dialog now shows machine name and PID.
- Filters: Added mOutputFrame field to VDXFilterStateInfo for reliable frame rate change operations.
* bugs fixed
- The window maximized state is also saved in addition to position/size.
- Reopening a video file that has multiple audio streams no longer loses secondary streams.
- Scene detection now works again when RGB565 or a YCbCr format is selected as the input format.
- Input preview didn't start in the correct place if a frame rate changing filter was present.
- The picture format tokens (p/P) in the timestamp UI options sometimes started from 1 instead of 0 due to rounding errors.
- Fixed stall at frame 0 when attempting to render with a VBR audio stream that has an extremely low data rate.
- Filters: Fixed field order swapping in bob doubler.
- JobControl: Fixed distributed list sync errors due to mixing up revision numbers when switching job files.
- Capture: Process and thread priority are now restored after capture rather than being unilaterally reset to normal/normal.
* regressions fixed
- Fixed audio desyncs with frame rate conversion.
- Type-1 DV audio works again.
- The video.SetRange() command works in unadjusted source milliseconds again.
- Fixed read errors with AVI files that have frames out of order in the index. (Note: This is rare, and often actually a sign of a corrupt index.)
- Filters: Filter sampling didn't work correctly if there was a conversion required at the start of the filter.
- Capture: Fixed crash in screencap driver with OpenGL capture disabled.


MPEG-2 plugin by fccHandler, Version 2.8 (2008-07-13)
http://fcchandler.home.comcast.net/Plugins/MPEG2/

Version 2.8 (July 13, 2008)

* Fixed a fatal error when decoding MPEG-2 Audio Layer II.

Version 2.7 (June 21, 2008)

* Fixed some problems with chroma planes in 4:2:2 Profile decoding.

* Removed the "choose an audio stream" popup, because VirtualDub 1.8.1 now supports multiple audio streams in its GUI.


WMV plugin by fccHandler, Version 1.7 (2008-07-11)
http://fcchandler.home.comcast.net/Plugins/WMV/

Version 1.7 (July 11, 2008)

* Fixed a problem which happens when a WMV has a preroll value greater than the earliest time stamp value. The symptom was a large group of "D" frames (duplicates) at the beginning and some broken frames immediately after that.

Version 1.6 (June 30, 2008)

* The error "Dub/IO-Video error: buffer too small (80044074)" would sometimes appear when saving an AVI file. That is fixed now.

Version 1.5 (May 16, 2008)

* I recently discovered that support for WMA (audio only) files was broken. It is fixed now.


FLV Input Plugin by Moitah, Version 1.1.0 (2008-05-07)
http://www.moitah.net/download/latest/FLV_Input_Driver.zip

[1.1.0]
It adds an extended options dialog where you can disable VFR->CFR padding, set it to automatic (default), or specify a target framerate.
It should work in Windows 9x again (_wfopen, oops) but still supports Unicode filenames in NT (forgot to mention I added that in 1.0.0).
Also, in addition to the maximum synch error, the median and average synch error is now displayed.

[1.0.0]
I finally finished a new version of my FLV input plugin . It requires at least VirtualDub 1.8 because it uses the new VBR audio support. I added code to insert drop frames to help maintain constant framerate; this actually works great for the majority of variable framerate files I've seen (i.e. originally constant framerate but the encoder skipped some duplicate frames; it's not designed or tested for videos with mixed framerates). I also implemented the File Information window. Enjoy!

[0.3.0]
I implemented TimeToPositionVBR/PositionToTimeVBR based on the audio tag timestamps. It seems to work pretty well, maybe I'll just leave it like this, but I'm not sure yet. Also, PCM audio might work with this version, but I don't have a FLV file to test it with (only have one .flv with PCM but there's no video stream). The synch in most files is pretty good now. I did spot one file that was quite a bit off but it isn't a problem with the audio, rather because the framerate of the video was variable.

[0.2.0]
... it supports MP3 audio (the vast majority of FLV files) but the synch will probably be messed up until I can code it properly.

[0.1.0]
There is no audio support yet but I will be working on it tonight. It uses the FourCC "FLV1" for H.263 and "VP6F" for VP6, so you need a decoder to handle those. ffdshow-tryouts contains both, be sure to enable them in the VFW configuration.

Thx, I try this (VDub/wmw plugin latest), but my A/V sync problem is stay.

[Mounir]

Hi everybody, i need some smart guy to help me on a issue i have encountered.

I have virtualdub, mod & mpeg2 installed.Also, ffdshow-20051129 & I got Windows Xp sp2.

I wanna open a wmv or flv with vdub but i keep getting an error "access violation".O tried with all of them.


I made an avsynth script with the following line:
directshowsource("X:\path\myvideo.wmv",fps=25)


And then i get that error "access violation"

Someone enlighten me please.

Also, is FLV_Input_Driver.zip so important to open flv's? Where am i supposed to install all the files?

I have registered gabest FLvSplitter .

[Placio74]

ffdshow-20051129 - too old - install latest ffdshow tryouts build.

FLvSplitter - with ffdshow, necessary to play FLV's by DirectShow (then can used Avisynth script (DirectShowSource))

FLV input plugin (for VD) not require FLV Splitter - only ffdshow VfW (with active support for FLV1 and VP6F).

What's installed Avisynth version?

BTW
Not forget add ConvertFPS to Avisynth script.

Unpack FLV_Input_Driver.zip to /VirtualDub/plugins/ (or /VirtualDub/plugins32/).

Hmm...access violation - i'm don't know.

[Mounir]

AviSynth 2.5 that's what i have

Well i have followed your instructions : i have installed a "recent" version of ffdshow( ffdshow-20040828.exe (2004) that's all i found on soundforge & installed FLV input plugin.

I've retried with virtualmpeg2 & I still got the "access violation" problem)
"Avisynth open failure:
Evaluate: system exception - Access violation

[C\Documents and Settings\....\myvideo.avs , line 1

script used:

DirectShowSource("myvideo.wmv", fps=30)
also:
DirectShowSource("myvideo.flv", fps=30)

Ps:

only ffdshow VfW (with active support for FLV1 and VP6F).

I don't find VP6 in the codecs list FLV1 only, maybe it's the core of the issue. Though, i have found "VP31"

[Placio74]

Avisynth 2.5.6, 2.5.7 or latest 2.5.8 alpha?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/avisynth2/

ffdshow tryouts!
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/

And of course use latest VirtualDub.
http://www.virtualdub.org/

[Mounir]

Ok i have installed the ffdshow tryout (july 2008) but i still get the "access violation" error

:/

I normally use an Avisynth script to load non-AVI files into VirtualDub, but I decided to try these VDub input plugins to save a step and load such files directly.

However I cannot get the QuickTime plugin (0.2.0.0) to work at all. No matter what combination of settings I use (in QuickTime.ini or the extended dialog), if I try to open a .mov file, VirtualDub just dies without even a crash report.

I have tried with various .mov's (including Apple's sample.mov), and on different versions of VirtualDub (1.7.7, 1.8.5 and 1.8.6) - the result is always the same. The other plugins such as WMV, MPEG2 and FLV work fine.

I can successfully read mov files via the Avisynth QTSource plugin, but I'd like to get the VDub plugin working too.

Since no-one else has reported problems, I suspect my set-up is at fault, but where?
Is a specific version of QuickTime required? I have QT 6.5.1 running on Windows XP.

I just gave that Plugin a try and I tried to load the Sample.mov from QuickTime folder. I only get a "green" picture and VirtualDub will crash (with crash dialog) on seeking :o

This is with QuickTime v7.5.5 ...

Confirmed (for QT 6.5.1).

This is with QuickTime v7.5.5 ...
I don't have this issue (latest QT installed).
One thing...
Used MoviesTask (instead default Decomp Sequence) for Sorenson 1 and 3 (+ few other).

Decomp Sequence improperly decodes Sorenson 1 and 3 (+ few other).

Other...
Auto select sometime does not work well for AVC - default ICM decomp not always selected.
In most time ICM decomp works for AVC, but possible exceptions (when better use other mode, example MoviesTask).

If VfW codecs is installed, then used instead QT (example ffdshow VfW), but... then possible improperly decodes.


Check File Information in VD, what's used decode mode...


Usually works well ICM decomp for H.264/AVC (with some exceptions) and MoviesTask for other.

[Gavino]

It seems odd that nobody has reported problems with the QT input plugin until now. Has something changed recently or have these problems always been there?
