Problem Converting with VFAPI to .avi

[Nealhon]

Hi, when I try to convert a .aup file using VFAPI to .avi it won't make a .avi. I load the .aup file in the VFAPI and check the stuff I want then hit convert and it looks like it used to do when it worked but it doesn't make a file anywhere on my HD. I am running Win98SE. Can anyone please explain what is wrong and what needs to be done? Also if this isn't in the right subject will someone please move it? Thanks a lot!

I thought that the converter (vfapi) only converted tmpgenc or dvd2avi files so that nandub or something else could be served to >? maybe I'm wrong.:confused:

I am having the same problem... did you find a solution? I've had this problem before. It also results in avi's not being appended correctly (with multiples in order) in aviutl. I can open the d2v file in aviutl if I select 'register vfapi codec' and encode just fine, but if I try vfapiconv nothing at all happens. I don't remember what I did last time (about a year ago) to fix this problem. I've tried resetting my avi settings, then installing my codecs (3.11 and 5) and running the vfapi setup program and everything and no luck. Did you find a way to fix it?

Obtain and run proxyoff.reg which can be obtained from doom9 I believe in one of the nandub or virtualdub software packs. I have about 10 copies of it in various encoding folders, just not with vfapiconv!

Run this then rerun your setup program and you hopefully will be fine.

I have noticed very similar issue when I was converting .d2v project to pseudo-avi without success.
I was using Vfapi v1.82 under Win XP Pro, v1.76 works fine.

i have a similar problem.
i cant make a pseudo avi from the .d2v file. i had this problem before but proxyoff helped then. not now, vfapi conv not even displays .d2v in files of type...
i had a win install, and all the progs (vfapi, vdub) worked fine before.
any idea? im getting nervous...
thx

I don't know. These problems are very confusing and seems like they are impossible to track down. I just had it AGAIN and I went through the same old process (I've made a batch file now it happens so often).
Here's what I do:

I run proxyoff.reg. Then I run the vfapi setup/install program and reboot. I also make sure I have 'register vfapi pugin' selected for aviutl. After I do that, normally I can convert in vfapiconv, or just open the d2v files in aviutl.

I use gordion knot now for most conversions, so vfapi is going out of my routine, but I still load into aviutl sometimes, and have to do this repeatedly. Check out the latest pack at doom9, it's pretty awesome. I get 1-cd rips of 100-minute movies and they look great full screen (my highlander endgame is incredible). Gknot only requires dvd2avi 1.76 without clipping or resizing or anything (except maybe FILM conversion), so check it out. Basically, anything microsoft sucks ass. ALL microsoft software tries to force you to do what MS wants you to do. I made the mistake of buying a microsoft intellimouse, and just to install the setup program it requires the latest IE versions, which of course I don't use (does anyone who knows anything about system stability?).

Hi,

I've also had this problem, but it's a little bit different over here:

- I run proxyoff.reg
- After that i run the vfapi setup and start it after registering it..
- I open a .aup file and convert it. This works!

BUT as soon as I close VFAPI or just reboot, the next time VFAPI keeps giving me errors, not being able to convert ccorrectly!

How come? :(

This is how it looks like:

I've done format two times in a row to make sure if it wasn't something that went wrong in the install of the OS< but with no result :(

My specs:
PIII 1GhZ
256 MB SDRam
OS: Windows XP

I'm using VFAPI 1.05

Please help :(

BTW: I do click "Register VAPI Plug-In" in AviUtil, but when I return to that menu to check out if it's set on, I don't see any change :confused:
Isn't it supposed to be "vinked"? <--- Dunno if this is a good English word :p...
