Jun 13, 2017  VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. DirectShow codecs, such as those used by Windows Media Payer, are not suitable. Only 'Direct Stream Copy' is available for this video. Download x264vfw for free. X264vfw is the VfW (Video for Windows) version of well known x264 encoder + ffh264 decoder (from FFmpeg/Libav project). Codec; x264vfw; x264vfw Brought to you by: masternobody.

Method 3: Convert MP4 to VirtualDub supported AVI Another way to edit MP4 in VirtualDub is to convert it to AVI so that you can import the media into the application.

I installed VirtualDub recently (32bit) on 64bit Windows 10 machine. I decided to use 32bit version in term of using DeLogo filter, which is 32bit. I have already installed VLC Media Player in order to be able to play various video formats and I've already installed FFDShow codecs with VFW built-in tech. Settings for XviD and DivX are to use libavcodec and these codecs are also 32bit installation (well, should be, they're installed in Program Files (x86) folder). But VirtualDub can't seem to find these codecs and when I try to import a video, it says it couldn't locate XviD decoder. Everything important is installed, what could I miss?

Libav contains an Mpeg-4 codec, but not the Xvid or Divx codec specifically. I'd suggest installing the actual Xvid codec for encoding/decoding the Divx/Xvid format. Once installed, vdub should find it just fine. https://www.xvid.com

First the video files was mp4 then i converted them to avi files.Now that they are avi files when i try to open a video file in virtualdub i'm getting this error:

Couldn't locat decompressor for format h264 (unknown) virtualdub requires video for windows vfw compaitable decompress ..etc

What i did so far ?

Install ffdshow in configuration i changed not to disable h264 and all others in decoder.

I installed divx

Avr gcc compiler. The 'Register Summary' on page 334 of this datasheet would be helpful to find the Register's detailed page. If you have any doubts, feel free to contact me.

You need to install the h.264 VFW codec here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/x264vfw/Just close VirtualDub beforehand, and pick the default options in the installer. Worked like a charm for me.

Virtualdub Codec Pack

AFAIK the file being MP4 or AVI is unimportant, it's just a change of 'container', ie. what's inside both files is a h.264 encoded video channel.

I used the VirtualDub FFmpeg Input Driver Plugin, Direct sourcforge page

1. Download
2. Copy files to the plugins folders in the virtualdub directory
3. Restarted virtualdub

Vfw Compatible Codec For Virtualdub

and no matter what you do currently x264vfw (either as standalone as mentioned by ghis, or via ffdshow's vfw config (decoder options)) doesn't work well with interlaced h264, it doubles the framerate and then it's not really usable esp. if you just wanna cut video in 'direct stream copy mode'.

Virtualdub Mkv

a bug that probably won't be fixed.
