Convert H264 to AVI (PicVideo codec)

[dandaka]

Hi, everybody!

I'm trying to convert video from hi-res FLV (downloaded from YouTube) to AVI (PicVideo). No results for 2 days. I'm stuck and exhausted, I've tried many solutions and workarounds. Hope you guys could help me with your replies.

Most of all I try to convert my video with Virtual Dub. I have no personal preference about this program, but I've managed how to convert VOB (DVD MPEG-2) to AVI with PicVideo codec with VD. I thought it would be same easy, but it is not

This is video, that I want to open with Virtual Dub:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/798960/temp/Audi%20A1%202010%20White%20%5Bwww.keepvid.com%5D.264.avi

This is info about file (generated by MediaInfo):

(First is FLV source, second is my working file

My next steps:

1. Open .FLV with Virtual Dub. Not working.
2. Installed FLVInputDriver.vdplugin and MPEG264.vdplugin. Not working http://clip2net.com/clip/m22849/1288739996-clip-12kb.png
3. Installed FLVExtract to get video stream from FLV. Try to open .H264 with VD. Not working http://clip2net.com/clip/m22849/1288740143-clip-12kb.png
4. I've used avc2avi_r594+gui1.2 to convert .h264 to .avi. Try to open .AVI with VD. It opens and plays correctly first time. But when I stop on keyframe, it gives me shitty picture. I get same picture when I try to encode with my PicVideo codec. http://clip2net.com/clip/m22849/1288739867-clip-181kb.jpg
5. Tried to use Super. Interface is so hard, I decided to find something more simple.
6. Tried to use winff-1.3.1. This is really funny software, since it has GUI, but for encoding/decoding options you have to study command line! Holy shit, too hard to understand
7. Installed ffdshow_beta7_rev3154_20091209. No changes, still same problems.
8. ffdshow settings:

(I've tried to change between libavcodec and ffmpeg-mt, no changes)
9. Installed AviSynth. Used script
AVISource("C:\d\perf\youtube\2011 Audi A1 [www.keepvid.com].264.avi")
Got very weird error: http://clip2net.com/clip/m22849/1288740660-clip-12kb.png
10. Tried to open that AVI with VD + DirectShow Input driver
(I have to note, that it doesn't show any files, and you have to find in forums, that you need to type "*.*" to see files. FML!)
Got this nice error: http://clip2net.com/clip/m22849/1288740724-clip-13kb.png

That is the end of my story. Not a happy end I have a gig this Saturday, and I need these f*cking files to simply open in Resolume! I don't want to jerk with this codecs and bunch of crappy software.

Please help me, guys, I'm really stuck in it.

Use ffmpegsource2, avisynth with the original flv file

http://code.google.com/p/ffmpegsource/

e.g.

vid=FFVideoSource("video.flv")
aud=FFAudioSource("video.flv")
AudioDub(vid,aud)

open the .avs in vdub
