Hi all, i have a AVS file. Inside this file I've typed:

I have installed:
*Avsynth 2.5.8
*FFdshow rev4422_20120409
*MatroskaSplitter
*VirtualDub 1.9.11

I'm not sure what I must do in order to view this mkv file in VirtualDub. I really don't want to compress it to .avi or any other codec because this would be just useless, because of the quality loss within the conversion no matter high high you keep your bitrate, the more you keep encoding a file the more it would be jittered. So if you could suggest something else besides converting the file to .avi then importing it, it would be great.

If you don't want to recompress it, why you're opening into VDub ?

[AiDz0r]

When i meant recompress, i mean like i don't want:
.mkv -> .avi -> virtualdub -> .avi -> converter -> .mkv

It would be better without it, especially when you want clean video.

[AiDz0r]

If you know any other way, i can compress,cut frames like in vdub it would be good. Although I would like to import the .mkv's without compressing, if this is impossible and i have no choice then i will recompress

Solution:

Only Requirements:
*ffmpegsource
*VirtualDub
*Avisynth 2.5.8

1- Download FFmpegSource (http://code.google.com/p/ffmpegsource/) (ffms-2.17.7z)
2- Create a .avs file with notepad and type:


LoadPlugin("C:\LOCATION\ffms2.dll")
ffvideosource("C:\LOCATION\encodethisfile.mkv")
3- Using VirtualDub you can drag and drop the file .avs after you have saved it, and it would work, also you can open the .avs with other encoders that supports avisynth. Like, RipBot.

I don't know what are you doing exactly but if it's solved...good for you.
