virtual dub prolem

[tweedledee]

I am using DVIO to capture from my Canon dv which works fine. When I try and run it through Virtul Dub to edit, I get the following message. Can you help with this? Also, if I try to CAPTURE with Virtual Dub, it locks on to my WIN 2000 signal and doesn't find to DV camera. Am I missing codecs? and if so, which ones? Thanks

install the main concept dv codec to edit dv movies in v-dub

Well, I didn't actully solve the problem. I worked around it by putting the avi file thru TMPG and converting it to mpeg 1, then editing it. I still can't get Virtual Dub to edit with avi.

You have to install panasonic DV codec.

THANKS A MILLION It works fine. How about my problem with the capture? I just can't get virtual Dub to get my Canon dv capture.

Unfortunatelly, no chance to capture DV from virtualdub.
But there is DVIO : nice, simply and freeware program with possibillity to choose type of DV (1 or 2)

Thanks, but what CAN I capture wth Virtual Dub? and how can I get it to pick up my camera?

i didnt say you could capture using v-dub (to dv) , i said you could edit dv files after installing the mainconcept codec (and the panasonic one works also - though more generation loss) ... v-dub uses vfw , which the above codecs support but not the ms built in one ..
