Hi everyone again. My problem seems plain easy and since I found no solution here or anywhere in the web I REALLY feel silly. Anyway here it is: I have Virtualdub. I have Panasonic's Mpeg plugin for Premiere. It works fine with Flaskmpeg as per CM's vgood instructions -thanks CM!- so I know the plugin works. BUT I cant make it work with Virtualdub. Virtualdub doesnt see it. Maybe it simply cant work with Virtualdub but I have seen no such restriction in my search. I like Vdub and Panasonic plugin so I will be happy to marry them so they are happy too. Any help?

Have a vnice day!

The Panasonic Pluggin your refereing to is an Adobe Premier Pluggin. Flaskmpeg was written to utilize Premier Pluggins (just about all of them work), unfortunately VirtualDUB was not. However, you should be able to Frameserve out of VD to the Panasonic stand alone encoder though, but not the pluggin.

I was about to delete that OLD tutorial, I didnt think anyone ever uses FlaskMPEG any more. There are way simpler, quicker and better quality ways to make VCD's now, check out the other Tutes, particularly the one using DVD2SVCD.

Thanks Chickenman, this solves my doubt. Actually I dont have any need to burn (S)VCDs out of a DVD, but in exploring my new DVD burner uses and capabilities I want to learn any facet of Mpeg2 to 1 conversion. Under that scope I prefer old (and eventually complicated) ways that as a rule give you a more detailed approach of the procedures so you (the operator) master better the internals and finally learn more.

To me, the real disadvantage of older progs is their slow processing.

Thks again!

Ok, I checked VB with Mpeg support but I still have no Mpeg-1 capability. What I need is Mpeg-1 codec that can be installed in Windows just as yr AC3 decompressor does. I beleive that this way VB will see it. By the way I tried your AC3 decompressor but it gives me a slight out of sync, about 1 second. I might have done any kind of mess anyway because I didnt insist on it, my first concern is the Mpeg-1 codec.

Maybe you have something to guide me? Thanks.

Cheers.

VirtualDub uses the VFW framework for compressing. You therefor can't save out mpeg's or mpeg1 in general. There are however some VFW MPEG2 codecs available.

VirtualDubMPEG2 refers to its ability to open MPEG2 not save it. VirtualDubMod can also open MPEG2 which is what I would suggest using, not that it would help in this case.

Windows comes by default with an MPEG1 decompressor.

For MPEG1, I would suggest using TMPGEnc to encode.

So celtic_druid, what you suggest is opening with virtualdubmpeg2 and frameserving to tmpgenc, panasonic mpeg1 standalone or (my preference) avi2mpeg.

Thanks for the guidelines.

Just occured to me that ffvfw can infact encode MPEG1, not that it really matters.

Frameserve?? Don't recall suggesting that. What is your source file? For frameserving I would recommend AVISynth, however I can't really see why you would need to do it.
