How do I resize and crop Quicktime video? + Virtualdubmod questions.

[OM2]

Can someone tell me how I can resize and crop Quicktime video?

I would normally use Virtualdubmod: but my current configuration cant read it.
How can I get it to read Quicktime?

Also:

- Can I use Virtualdubmod to convert video to FLV?
(I just kinda like using it!)

- What other programs are there that allow me to crop video?

Thanks.

To open a mov file in VDub you would need to use AVISynth to frameserve. AVISynth can also do the resizing and cropping (better than VDub).

VDubMod can't output flv, although from recollection ffdshow can output video only flv's.

Many people that use flv files seem to like Super.

You can also try mpeg streamclip for mov editing.

what's frameserve?

i've installed avisynth... and i cant still load a .mov file into vdub.

i tried super... but the flv output was poor compared to riva or sorenson squeeze.
riva seemed to produce the best output.

AviSynth is a script-based frameserver. AviSynth has a Quicktime plug-in called QTSource (separate download - Google is your friend) that can frameserve Quicktime files to apps such as VDub that normally wouldn't accept them. I would also strongly recommend downloading Quicktime Alternative if you don't already have Quicktime 7 installed. It would go like this:

Create a new notepad file and type:

qtinput("movie.file.mov",audio=true)

Substitute "movie.file" with the full path and filename of your clip. Save the notepad file and name it with an .avs extension, not .txt. This simple one-line script might at least open the Quicktime file in VDub for you. Cropping and resizing will be up to you. AviSynth is a powerhouse once you take the time to read about it.
