The devil? Virtual dub patent problems

[SignedupGuest]

Ok, so here I am innocently wanting to merge 3 of my video files (wmv). Little do I know ******** want to make my life more shittier.

I open up VirutalDub, throw the first file in it and get this 100% bs error message: “Not support Microsoft own us patent #6,041,345 on the ASF file format” etc (more bs)

How do I fix this?

I think I am going to pirate the next office, next os, and everything else Microsoft because of this BS (that and cause DRM is coming).

Canadans hate DRM!

Use an older version. This version supports asf...

asfbin if you just are going to join.

or I think virtualdubmpeg2 supports wmv.

lol... I already tried both your suggestion....

I already have virtualdubmpeg2 and it did not work.

Couldn’t locate decompressor for format 'wmv3' (unknown)

I also tried version 1.3c, Got:

asf: illegal object garment flags 0a etc

edit: as for asfbin, if someone is to lazy to spend time coding up a user friendly screen then they probably didnt spend very long on the program itself.

we can't read your mind...

use asfbin if you just are going to join...it has worked with most of my wmvs....not drm protected though.

windows movie maker?...it will probably reencode everything though....

yeah l0l... I gave it a try... I am not impressed by the interface but it looks like it work...

tnx... Now I just hope the audio is always in sync.

Microsoft is going down the drain. I should start some Linux propaganda...

Use AviSynth with DIRECTSHOWSOURCE:

directshowsource("D:\iraqiinsurgents-takeout.wmv",FPS=15) 

ConvertToYUY2()

Hi All,

Is ASFJoin still available? I have it if it isn't, so drop me a line and I'll pm you a copy.

Also ASFTools. Installing ffdshow or WMV9 VCM should solve the VirtualDubMPEG2 error.

You need VirtualDub v1.2, but it doesn't work very well anyway. You'll do better to use something else.
