  1. Hi,

    I've always used VirtualDub to put .avi files in sync when the audio and video were off. I now have an x64 system (Windows XP Pro x64 os) and downloaded and installed the x64 version. When I tried to open a file using VirtualDub-1.6.16-AMD64, I received this message:

    Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'DX50' (unknown).
    VirtualDub requires a video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress vodeo. DirectShow codecs, such as those used by Windows Media Player, are not suitable."
    I have K-Lite Full installed, xvid, divx full, etc. Do you know what it's looking for?

  2. you might need a 64-bit version of k-lite, etc...

    also make sure the corresponding codec is toggled on in the ffdshow vfw interface (use mediainfo on the video if you don't know which codec)

    Just curious - why not use the 64-bit versions of the latest builds of VirtualDub? 1.8.2 was just released, and I notice it has an x64 build as well as the regular 32-bit version.

    (Of course, I know very little about working with XP/Vista 64, so...)
    If cameras add ten pounds, why would people want to eat them?

  4. VirtualDub 1.8.2 is only for a 32-bit os. I have XP Pro x64. Sorry, I should have given that info in the beginning.

    This doesn't seem to have anything to do with Video Streaming. Moving to Editing.

    You will still get the same message about missing codecs with the newest virtualdub64.you will need 64bit versions of the codecs for virtualdub64 to recognize them.

  7. I have K-Lite Codec Pack Full 4.0.4 Beta 4.0.0 1.3.1 (x64). Hopefully, it'll have all the codecs that I'll need.

  8. And all the headaches that come with K-Lite codec packs.

    http://ffdshow.faireal.net/mirror/XviD At the bottom of the list. I found it in our 'Tools' section.

    EDIT: johns0's version may be newer.

  13. Thanks guys . . . do you have one for DivX and any other major codecs as well? I can't find diddley-squat when I look for things. You should see me looking for a way to install a SiI3726 SATA hub when my computer has SiI3124. It's enough to make you want to jump and stomp on it, but it cost too much.

    make sure the corresponding codec is toggled on in the ffdshow vfw interface (use mediainfo on the video if you don't know which codec)
    I can't find anything that says vfw or medianinfo.

  14. I found a DivX codec for x64 at this site:
    http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3584558/XviD-1.1.2-(Windows_X64___Vista3264_Bits).(Divx__Xvid__Mpeg4_ MOV

    Do you think it looks like a safe site or should I stay away from it? It looks cheesy.

    Is there a codec pack for XP Pro x64? If there is, please post the addy.

  15. Ok Geeks, it took a mini-geek (me) to find it right here at GeeksToGo. The newest DivX codec is v6.8.2.8 (Dec 04, 2007). It says

    Enjoy maximized performance for all multithreaded processors (Intel Core Duo and Core 2 Duo, AMD Athlon 64 X2 and Athlon 64 FX)
    The underlined is the cpu that I have, so I'm very happy about that.

    But I really need an XP Pro x64 codec pack, if anyone knows of one.

    That's Xvid, not Divx. You've already been given a link to a 64 bit build of Xvid.

    Optimized for A64 X2 doesn't mean it's 64 bit. I'm pretty sure there is no 64 bit version of Divx. Go to Divx.com and check.

  17. The first one was, i saw that later on, but the DivX codec that I found at GeeksToGo is leaning towards x64.
    https://www.videohelp.com/tools/DivX_5
    It comes the closest to being a DivX codec than other DivX codecs so it's better than the one I had.

    So I guess there aren't any XP Pro x64 codec packs out there. No one's answered that question.

  18. I'm pretty sure all you need is a 64-bit version of ffdshow and to turn on Divx/XviD in the ffdshow VFW configuration. This should already be in the k-lite 64-bit package. If not, here http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=173941&package_id=199416&release_id=569930

    Note: The VFW configuration is used for vdub, NOT the normal directshow configuration, although it won't hurt to turn both on

    Nobody want to give you info about 64bit klite codecs packs cause they are sheer crap,giving out that info isnt helping.

  20. Note this is the ffdshow VFW configuration (the gold/brown icon, not the red one, although you should toggle that on too)

    You should toggle these to "libavcodec"

  21. I have K-Lite Codec Pack Full 4.0.4 Beta 4.0.0 1.3.1 (x64). I've been through it with a fine tooth comb and saw nothing named VFW.

    ...Then download the ffdshow 64-bit in the link above...

    Here is a recent build 2008.07.21 (today)
    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=173941&package_id=199416&release_id=569930

  23. I have a blue and a red icon, so I'm assuming you mean the blue icon?

    I took a screenshot but I don't see a way to attach a picture here.

    What is toggling?

    What am I supposed to do with the xvid and divx that you circled?[/img]

  24. Ok, here it is

  25. If you don't have a gold/brown colored one (the VFW one like my original screenshot), then you won't be able to do this in vdub

    vdub uses this outdated VFW interface, unfortunately.

    You should be able to get around this problem by using avisynth scripts (since you have the regular 64-bit ffdshow installed). But then you have to learn how to use avisynth to frameserve into vdub (worthwile endeavour IMO)

    I can 100% guarantee that it won't work in vdub directly without the vfw interface enabled

  26. I have to run to pick up my grandson right, no time to spare, but I'll try to use vdub to put an avi in sync when I get back.
    Quote Quote  
  27. vdubx64 worked but the files aren't just out of sync, they're progressively out of sync, so that's that.

    At least I know that if a file is just out of sync, vdub will work because of the new codec(s).

    Thanks for all your help.
