VirtualDub2

[LigH]

Not in VirtualDub2; it does not contain a fully configurable native HEVC (x265) codec.

Indeed... You'll need to install one of the x265vfw versions if you require access to DAR options

[LigH]

I would recommend configuring a x265.exe as external encoder instead. HEVC does not belong into VfW.

Thankyou for your help!
I'll do as you proposed.

You may try to fix corrupted video: http://www.risingresearch.com/en/dvr/

I will have to try that but unless I buy a Windows 10 or above computer, I am still need to figure out how to make mp4s.

[jpsdr]

I was talking about the XP build version of my plugins, not VDUB2.

Sorry about that. Anyway I think the only reason Virtualdub2 worked on my computer for a time is due tot he codecs I used. I may need to manipulate the registry or something to "reformat" the program. It seems like Virtualdub2 will only work on Windows 10 or if I used codecs like XVID or something.

Edit: I discovered that I had to change the input driver from :Caching Input Driver" to "Audio/video interleave input driver (internal)" to successfully to convert a video on XP. I also discovered some options on both input drivers but I do not know which is ideal for XP.

From this [GAP] thread,
https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=183052

Maybe suggest trying the batch script with that error producing clip,
BAT(same thread) = https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...05#post1948505

See if ffmpeg gives any further info in error message for the missing frame,
perhaps it can even auto conceal the error. (producing legal output clip)
EDIT:
OR smaller bat script. Output UT_Video, AVI.

SomethingOrOther.bat

setlocal

REM Where to Find ffmpeg
set FFMPEG="C:\BIN\ffmpeg.exe"

REM Where to get input file, No terminating Backslash, "." = current directory
set INDIR="."


REM Where to place output file, No terminating Backslash.
set OUTDIR="D:"


FOR %%A IN (*.wmv *.mpg *.avi *.flv *.mov *.mp4 *.m4v *.RAM *.RM *.mkv *.TS *.ogv *264 *.webm *.m2v *.VOB) DO (
  %FFMPEG% -i "%INDIR%\%%A" -vcodec utvideo -acodec pcm_s16le "%OUTDIR%\%%~nxA.AVI"

)

Pause

Output AVI to to D: drive. Input types in BLUE (can try adding more at end of list, eg " *.abc", SPACE separatedf from other extensions).

Create CONVERT Folder. Copy bat and source clips into that folder.
Ensure FFMPEG line points to your ffmpeg binary.
Run the bat.
(The Bat dont like SPACES nor weird foreign chars in filenames)

Do you need to make the output directory the same as the FFMPEG folder? I tried this and it could not go on without an output directory.

[StainlessS]

OK GAP, posted script was not quite right but worked for me [I aint no command line expert, in fact I hate it ]

This seems to be quite bullet proof, and seems to cope OK with SPACES and even Japanese/Chinese hieroglyphics in the file names.
(which earlier scripts did not do well with)


Folder structure

BATCH_CONVERTER\                            # Containing directory, move it anywhere.
    FFMPEG\                                 # Directory Contains FFMPEG.EXE # EDIT: Plus any required ffmpeg dll's if ffmpeg.exe is not statically linked version, ie requires some ffmpeg dll files.
    INPUT\                                  # Dir, files to be converted
    OUTPUT\                                 # Dir, Converted results
    Convert_Input_To_UtVideo_Output.BAT     # Batch File

Convert_Input_To_UtVideo_Output.BAT

setlocal

REM Where to Find ffmpeg
set FFMPEG=".\FFMPEG\ffmpeg.exe"

FOR /R ".\INPUT" %%A IN (*.wmv *.mpg *.avi *.flv *.mov *.mp4 *.m4v *.RAM *.RM *.mkv *.TS *.ogv *.264 *.webm *.m2v *.VOB) DO (
  %FFMPEG% -i "%%A" -vcodec utvideo -acodec pcm_s16le ".\OUTPUT\%%~nA.AVI"
)

Pause

Can create your own as above, or download 7z compressed file of about 35MB [including ffmpeg.exe] from UTILITY/Batch_Converter.7z
from StainlessS@MediaFire below this post in my sig. [in the UTILITY folder]

or direct link here:- https://www.mediafire.com/file/boxq9...VERTER.7z/file

I think you could point output to anywhere else by replacing BLUE '.\OUTPUT' above with FULL DRIVE & PATH (no filename nor extension EDIT: Output folder MUST Exist)

If you already have path to ffmpeg.exe set in your system environment PATH Variable, then can change above %FFMPEG% to just FFMPEG.EXE and it should work without needing
the FFMPEG\ffmpeg.exe in zip.
eg,

setlocal

FOR /R ".\INPUT" %%A IN (*.wmv *.mpg *.avi *.flv *.mov *.mp4 *.m4v *.RAM *.RM *.mkv *.TS *.ogv *.264 *.webm *.m2v *.VOB) DO (
  Ffmpeg.Exe -i "%%A" -vcodec utvideo -acodec pcm_s16le ".\OUTPUT\%%~nA.AVI"
)

Pause

and then dont need the FFMPEG folder or zip included ffmpeg.exe.

EDIT: Reino 32 bit XP [works anywhere] compatible ffmpeg:- https://rwijnsma.home.xs4all.nl/files/ffmpeg/?C=M
I suggest STATIC linked [no dll's] version.
