Vidcoder Won't Open BR with VC1 Codec

[wulf109]

Vidcoder is a good program that I use often,but it refuses to open any BR that uses VCI instead of avc codec.

Damn. 3000 posts and you post like a newbie.

Do you have problems with only interlaced VC-1 or only progressive VC-1 or both interlaced and progressive VC-1? Interlaced VC-1 is known to be a problem for a lot of easy encode programs.


What's your desired output?


Come on, man. I've seen your posts here and you know what you are doing. Stop acting like you just got here and give us enough info to go on if you want help.

The movie I trying to backup as an mkv file is Superman. According to BDinfo it's 1080i VC1.

OK. Yes, it's well known that 1080i VC-1 is a real bitch to get converted. Since you have finally provided enough to go on, I will have to leave it to others to help as I have only tried to encode interlaced VC-1 through BD-RB and it's hit or miss, mostly miss, with it trying to do it.


Maybe you can open the file in AviSynth and feed it into MeGui if no one has any better ideas.

As VidCoder uses HandBrake, does Handbrake open the video?
If it does, the problem could be with VidCoder in which case ask on the VidCoder forum: https://vidcoder.codeplex.com/discussions
If it doesn't open the video, ask on the HandBrake forum: https://forum.handbrake.fr/viewforum.php?f=11

You can use uncropmkv if you don't want menus and authoring as blu-ray,also install ffdshow and configure it for vc-1 codec then try vidcoder again if you just want mkv or mp4.

I just use RipBot for BD>MKV conversions. No problems with VC-1 or Superman so far. I only use VidCoder/Handbrake for DVD>MKV conversions.
