View Full Version : Cannot mux .wmv audio and video into new .WMV file

I was encoding with ffdshow's WMV9 Advanced Profile encoding. If I save the stream directly to .asf (an option included in the general tab), the resulting file has no sound. I want to mux some .wmv sound to my .asf output file, but windows media stream editor claims that "The requested video codec is not installed on this system."

What the heck is going on?! The stream was created with ffdshow's Windows Media Advanced Profile setting, but will not work in Stream Editor. What is going on?

I just need to get the darn video and audio into a .wmv!

Once I have tried to do it with Graphedit but Windows Media Multiplexer and ASF Reader need uncompressed video...
You don't need to use ffdshow in order to encode WMV3.ffdshow doesn't use an internal WMV3 encoder.You won't gain anything in speed or quality.It just wraps the original directshow WMV3 codecs from Microsoft via ff_wmv9.dll.
You could use Nic's WMEncoder from http://nic.dnsalias.com/WMNicEnc/WMNicEnc.zip.It imports avisynth scripts and outputs to wmv.If you need to use ffdshow's video filters you could add them to your script with ffavisynth.
But I also think there is an output option in ffshow that outputs frames to external file.(not to avi)
Good luck!
