VirtulDub w/o "No Audio Decompressor..." failure

[wall46]

My 1st Thread here, after I'm fumbling around with the 'new W10'...

\ VDub_WiX.use wall20190910

Running VDub on WiX (Windoze 10(roman pro)


1. VirtualDub-1.10.4.zip download (use x86! IMHO x64 is flawed)
https://www.videohelp.com/software/Virtualdub
2. extract to any location, no install needed, so I have it on D:\VDub
3. D:\VDub\plugins32 should have Quicktime.plugin ~readme, ~History
4. D:\VDub should have Quicktime.ini

You now may *.mp4 load, cut, write *.avi, but not play it.
You will have the nasty "No Audio decompressor..." error if click on [|>]
so let's continue

5. AACACM19.zip from https://www.videohelp.com/software/AAC-ACM-Codec
6. unzip it
7. goto ...\AACACM19\x86
8. run "Install the 32-bit codec.bat" as administrator !!!
NOTAM if you had installed it before, see the readme.. for uninstall!
9. make a VDub.lnk
10. I have VDub script file "all-x.vcf", appended to the .LNK preferences
.LNK destination: D:\VirtualDub.exe /s"all-x.vcf"

I put the LNK to my desktop, so even drag&drop a *.mp4 works.
Use direct stream on video and audio, runs pretty fast!

It cost me several days to find out, found a lot of nonsence experts
advices, nothing helped!

So I disclose my way, Frank Sinatra is a good singer, nor do I

Use Virtualdub2 - still developed and supported, the original has been abandoned

[LigH.de]

VirtualDub2 offers access to several commonly used codecs provided by an ffmpeg plugin. The ffmpeg AAC audio codec is one of them.

THX I will give VD2 a shot
Hope it is as fast as VD1
