Thread: Video codecs question

Hello everyone!

Since many years ago I have been using CCCP and Win7DSFilterTweaker(since I'm using Win7 64bit) for all my video playback needs.

Right now I have a need to edit video files (Xvid/h264 mainly) in VirtualDub. I've downloaded the latest 64bit version of VD and obviously it won't let me open files for edit since I need the "VFW" codecs for that. I tried installing (and nothing else in the pack) and it didn't work + it overtook playback from my CCCP pack grrrrr.



I don't want this mess in my system, I also have the AVS Video Converter in my system to convert certain formats I need and in my last OS installation I messed up the codecs that the AVS couldn't convert anymore.

QUESTION: Besides having CCCP for playback and AVS for converting video formats, what do I need to install to be able to edit video files in VirtualDub (Xvid/h264)? Hopefully something very minimalist that would only enable that and would not interfere with CCCP/AVS.



Thanks!

I believe you right click the file and open with virtualdub!!

Well it doesn't work, it says I need a VFW codec. That's actually I created this thread ;)

Take a look at this link

Ah thanks Larry, but I didnt try it :(

I figured out my problem.. it seems the 32bit version of VirtualDub works perfectly with CCCP only. Even the the VDub website recommends using 32bit always (even if you have a 64bit OS and 64bit CPU). Oh well.. :)
