Virtual Dub no audio decompressor found

[shokan22]

I downloaded AC3ACM and have three files in the 64 folder:

AC3ACM.acm
AC3ACM64.inf
Install the 64-bit codec.bat

Clicking on the "install" .bat file produces this message:

An error ocurred while copying the AC3ACM.acm. Cannot copy file to destination directory.

I want videos to play in Virtual Dub with sound. How do I do this? Should I be using the x86, not the 64?

edit: the x86 bat install produces same message.

Try install codec by right click on AC3ACM64.inf file and select Install

[shokan22]

Try install codec by right click on AC3ACM64.inf file and select Install

Tried that...for a millisecond, I saw a box appear then immediately disappear. Opened a Matroska video in Virtual Dub. Same audio decompressor not found message.

edit: .avi files do play with sound now in Virtual Dub, not Matroska (.mkv).

[roma_turok]

Do you have Matroska plugin by fccHandler for VirtualDub?

[shokan22]

Matroska.vdplugin in plugins32 always has been there

Right click on the bat file and select Run As Administrator.

What MediaInfo report about type of sound have in MKV file?

[shokan22]

What MediaInfo report about type of sound have in MKV file?

Virtual Dub Error

(red x symbol) No audio decompressor could be found to decompress the source audio format (source format tag:00ff)

That's the message that appears. Don't know what You mean about Media Info Report.

[roma_turok]

MediaInfo is program that can tell what type of sound have in MKV file

[jagabo]

I believe tag 00ff is AAC.

[shokan22]

Here it is.

What purpose you want open mkv file in VirtualDub?

[shokan22]

I want to open an .mkv file in Virtual Dub and play it with sound.

[roma_turok]

I want to open an .mkv file in Virtual Dub and play it with sound.

Do you want to edit/convert Mkv file or just play?

Ok
So download this file: http://www.free-codecs.com/download_soft.php?d=6282&s=826&r=
right click on AACACM64.inf file and select Install

If you want convert to mp4 or mkv
better use Handbrake

Have already done that. But, I did it again just now (install the ACM download) . Any mkv file will not play with sound. Same "no decompressor ..." message.

[roma_turok]

Did you try run bat file run as administrator ?
Do you have windows 7 64 bit?

[shokan22]

Did you try run bat file run as administrator ?

Yes and yes. Same message trying to play any mkv file.

[roma_turok]

Do you have in Programs and Features list, AAC codec installed?:

[shokan22]

Yes I do.

try restart computer

try open with virtualdub 64bit: https://www.videohelp.com/download/VirtualDub-1.10.4-AMD64.zip

[shokan22]

try restart computer

try open with virtualdub 64bit: https://www.videohelp.com/download/VirtualDub-1.10.4-AMD64.zip

Restarted, same problem.

Downloaded 64. In the VirtualDub-1.10.4-AMD64 folder you see the plugins I copy pasted from the old VD 32 bit plugins folder. Right click on any. mkv file, open with, VirtualDub-1.10.4-AMD64 folder click on either one of the VD exes and I get:

VirtualDub Error
The file 'F:\Destination Flavour Japan. Mkv is of an.unknown or unsupported file type.

You need to use all 32 bit components with 32 bit VirtualDub. You need to use all 64 bit components with 64 bit VirtualDub.

Forget using 64 bit VirtualDub. It's not as stable and not as many filters are available in 64 bit versions. Use 32 bit VirtualDub and 32 bit filters.

[roma_turok]

Copy Matroska.vdplugin file from plugins32 folder of 32bit VirtualDub
to VirtualDub 64bit plugins32 folder
and try again

Ok. Then, all my original questions remain. Open Matroska file, click play, "no decompressor... ".

[shokan22]

Copy Matroska.vdplugin file from plugins32 folder of 32bit VirtualDub
to VirtualDub 64bit plugins32 folder
and try again

Nope, tried that. Unsupported file type.

[roma_turok]

So try install AAC 32bit codec version, check Programs and Features that this installed
and open mkv in VirtualDub 32bit
