I am trying since some time to load a Quicktime ProRes422HQ Video into Virtual Dub... unfortunately I was not successful.


I tryed with QT Import Plugin... it did not help
I tryed to convert the QT File into a uncompressede AVI ...no Chance, no success
I use streamclip to Export to different lossles AVI's ...no success


How can I do this Task? The playback of the QT File in my Windows Machine QT Player works fine. Also it loads into streamclip and plays fine.

I am thankful for any help.

Do you mean the Avisynth plugin or is there a VDub plugin for that? I just tried with the QTSource plugin for Avisynth and it works with a 422 mov clip.

Edit: FFVideoSource (ffms2) also seems to work.

The Virtualdub FFMpeg Input Plugin (http://forums.virtualdub.org/index.php?act=ST&f=2&t=22269&st=0#entry95795) supports 10 bit 422 ProRes; I'm pretty sure (EDIT confirmed) 444 is supported also.

EDIT VirtualDub 1.10.4 required! (thanks papcom)

thank you for your answers.

I use Virtual Dub 1.9.11 NOT Avisynth !

I try to open a ProRes422HQ MOV- File and I receive an "missing codec apcn" error. The files does not open.

Now I have installed the Virtualdub FFMpeg Input Plugin (V0816) as described in the given thread, but with no success. I cannot open the QT Mov File!
Perhaps I do not understand the install procedure? I copied the Plugin into the plugins32 Folder and I also copied the DLL Folder into the plugins32 Folder of virtual Dub.

After that, I clicked File > Open Video File. ...But in the "Open video file"-dialogbox I cannot select any "AVI" and have no "Files of type" to select !? ...............I just have "all types" displayed, or I can choose MPEG, or Image Sequence, or Animated Gif etc... as one knows it from Virtual Dub.

Where is the misunderstanding? I am looking for a possibility to open Quicktime Mov ProRes422HQ Files directely in Virtual DUb.

In my virtual dub there are two plugin Folder, one is named "plugins" the other is named "plugins32". As I have a 32 Bit Windows7 System I choose the "plugins32" Folder for the FFMpeg plugin ...is this correct? ( I am wonderinng because I have some plugins which are in the Folder named "plugins" ...and not in the Folder plugins32 ?

OK - It seems that I have found the solution:

I must use Virtual Dub 1.10.4 (actual stable version). When I install the ffmpeginput plugin in this Version, then it works and I can open my ProRes422 files.

Thank You @raffriff42 for the hint.
