Insert NEW video compression codec

[bozitaai]

Dear All,

In VirtualDubMod, if I want to save the video into AVI format, then select "File --> Save AS .." and press "Change" button. We can select one of video compression codecs in the list. But if I want to insert new codecs into VirtualDubMod, how should I do?

Thank you very much.

I think you mean "install" new video codec,
for example:
x264 Video codec (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=89979), download one of them,
then install(double-click it),
restart VirtualDubMod,
then the x264vfw codec should appear in the codecs list:)

The windows registry stores the information related to the codecs available on our machince. Gspot (http://www.headbands.com/gspot/) will tell you about the file, and the installed codecs on your system, and more... Installing the relavante comp/decomp (codec) software will give you the options in Vdub. See the XVID downloads on the main doom9 page for a quick, likely solution to your search. Often, a properly installed codec is achieved by regsvr32.exe whatever.ax/.dll, or similar command.

Word of advice: DON'T INSTALL A CODEC PACK to satisfy your needs. Be discrete.

What no yv12 decompressor?

Maybe just installing xvid is enough, but you might addvidc.vy12="xvidvfw.dll" to the list. Stupid msyuv.dll lacks that functionality, as far as I can tell at least.

thanks, no new files to add for yv12?

[mrslacker]

I'm not sure I understand the question.

I think you could use huffyuv.dll for that too, according to some websites. I was never able to get huffyuv to do yv12 colorspace conversion though. You'd need it for some editors, to preview avs for certain encoders, and for weird avis/mpegs.

From what I've read, the xvid dlls are purportedly equipped to do the colorspace conversions. Since, you have the VFW xvid dll on your list already, it is presumably available to the system already.
