VirtualDub Plugins

[gazza67]

I have video that I want to DeShake (the movie is from a DLSR canon 500d). I have used the deshaker plugin for virtualdub before and it did a good job.

Gspot says the video is .MOV (quicktime)
Codec = avc1 Name = h.264
Codec status is undetermined.

I cant seem to get a combination of plugins that will open the file, decode and deshake it under virtualdub.

Would anyone be able to tell me the specif plugins I would need to accomplish this? (is it possible?)

Cheers

I believe there is a quicktime plugin for virtualdub, although I would repackage the video and audio into an MP4 container, then use a simple avisynth script to allow vdub to work with the file.

DirectShowSource("pathtovideo/video.mp4")

would be enough

You can get a set of input plugins for VirtualDub here:
https://www.videohelp.com/download/VirtualdubPluginPack.zip

This includes both a Quicktime and a DirectShow source plugin, which are suitable candidates for your file.
Using the DirectShow plugin is equivalent (and hence an alternative) to using a script with DirectShowSource.

I find the default setting of the Quicktime plugin often doesn't work. Try switching to the different Video Decoder Modes using the Extended Options dialog.

OK, I have downloaded https://www.videohelp.com/download/VirtualdubPluginPack.zip and unpack into the appropriate directory.

I try to open the video in question and same result - black screen.

I try to select the extended options in the open file dialog but no dialog appears after opening. (If I select extended options on an AVI that I know works in virtualdub then the dialog comes up as expected). Does anyone know why this might be the case - can others get the extended options dialog to work on MOV files?

This video plays in VLC so I know that the file does contain video, I just cant convince virtualdub to let me see the video.

I just managed to load an SX1 mov file into V.Dub using an AviSynth script as follows :

sx1_test.avs

FFMpegSource2("C:\Users\me\Downloads\86619157_orig_SX1.mov",atrack=-1)
DelayAudio(1.0)

(The audio delay compensates for the 30 frames mess-up that deshaking introduces)

To get the FFMpegSource2 command working, install the package from code.google.com/p/ffmpegsource/

I try to select the extended options in the open file dialog but no dialog appears after opening.

Try forcing the Quicktime reader in the "Files of Type" pulldown of the Open Video File dialog.
