Xvid decompressor for virtualdub5/16/2023 ![]() Virtualdub Xvid Decompressor could not be found.Help transform Hi8? (Unable to detect HCW2 decompressor …?).VirtualDub error says “Unable to find unpacker for xvid format”.Don’t suffer from Windows errors anymore.set it to "idle" and your stuff will still encode normally, but you can use your computer normally the entire time (i ended up just watching anime today while encoding the hall/yabe workshop vid). when you are encoding, i would recommend going into the main virtualdub window (sorry, i forgot the actual name of the menu, but it only shows when you're encoding) and go down to "show status window". resize to 640x480-that is a common internet size, and it will help your video be the correct (4:3) aspect ratio.ģ. another filter you need, besides the deinterlace, is the resize filter. in order to get that neat list of audio codecs (specifically the LAME MP3 one), you need to get the LAME ACM ( ) and install it.Ģ. i would like to make a note-for those of us using NTSC, it's 720x480, 29.97 FPS.Įdit: i need to make a couple of quick points that you didn't include, that i just realized.ġ. i foresee this thread being a huge help to future diabolo video makers. Also check out the MPEG compression with TMPGEnc thread of Sean.Įven i learned something from this thread. I hope you found it usefull, and if you have any problems just let me know! (Sean and others know a lot, probably even more than me about Vdub) There is also a lot more you can find on the internet (tutorials, plugins, filters, codecs, etc), so for other stuff about this, just Google it! Tip: check out for other great filters, like the "area based" deinterlace filter. It's best to leave your computerĪlone when he's encoding (same with exporting as uncompressed avi). ![]() You will find your 1st and 2nd pass in there, click on the first one, and hit the "Start" button to start the encoding proces. After you've done this, go to: File>Job control. Now go and make your settings for the 2nd pass (you'll probably only need to set 1st pass to 2nd pass (or Nth pass) in the encoding mode), and save this under the SAME name as you saved the first pass. Do NOT forget to check the box which says "Don't run this job now add it to job control so I can run it in batch mode". If you chose for multipass encoding you need to do it like this: after making all the settings for the 1st pass, you have to save that: File>Save as AVI. If you don't see this option, you probably need to check the box underneath it, which says "Show all formats".Ħ) Now we're ready to encode. If your uncompressed avi file has the following audio setting: 44.100 Hz, you should choose the 44100 Hz, 128 kbps CBR, Stereo option in the right box (128 kbps is what I usually use, but it's up to you which one to choose: the higher the kbps, the higher the quality, but the higher the filesize). Now click: Audio>Compression and choose the option Lame MP3 or MPEG Layer-3 in the left box. First set your audio to "Full processing mode", in the Audio tab. (check out for more info about deinterlacing)ĥ) Now you have to compress the audio. I suggest you use the deinterlace filter, to blend these 2 'fields' together: Video>Filters>Add>deinterlace>OK>OK>OK. Hit OK, OK.Ĥ) You must have noticed the (annoying) lines in your uncompressed avi file. ![]() You'll have to experiment a bit with this to get the best quality/filesize results. I usually keep 10 mb/minute in mind for my HQ video, so I use something between 8. ![]() The higher the number, the better the quality, but the bigger the filesize. I usually use a setting of around 1000 kbit/s. For an excellent explanation of all the settings you can make with DivX 6 click here. The first pass generates a little text file that is used by the second pass to have a better quality. Multipass-encoding will get you better quality videos, compared to single-pass encoding. Check out and to download the latest codecs.ġ) First of all, go to and dowload the latest version of Virtualdub.Ģ) Open your exported uncompressed avi file in Vdub: File>Open video file.ģ) Encode your avi file with the XviD or DivX codec: Video>Compression and choose the option "XviD MPEG-4 Codec" or "DivX 6.x Codec" in the left box. I will explain to you how to compress your video with DivX / XviD. For the high quality (HQ) version, I use the DivX or XviD codec. You have to keep people with a not so fast connection in mind, so that is why I always make a 2nd medium quality (MQ) smaller filesize version (I like to use the new H.264 codec for that). After doing that, you will have a very big file you want to compress before putting it online (or somewhere on your hard disk). After editing your video (may I suggest Sony Vegas?), you need to export it as uncompressed avi to get the best quality (European settings are: PAL DV, 720x576, 25fps).
