Frameserving with Virtualdub does not work in XP

[shimrod]

I use Virtualdub to frameserve my AVI-file (converted with VFAPIConv) to CCE.

This works in Windows 98.
It doesn't work in Windows XP:
CCE 2.25 crashes, CCE 2.64 says Invalid AVI file.

Anyone who can help?

Wish I could help you with this one - VirtualDub's frameserver works fine for me under WinXP!

Did you run AUXSETUP.EXE in the VirtualDub directory and install everything needed for frameserving?

I'm in the process of converting my 10 year old Married with Children VHS videotapes to digital format. The process is as follows:

VCR --> DVMC-DA1
Average episode takes 22 minutes, which rounds out to a 5 gig DV file.

VirtualDub --> TMPGEnc
Crop, resize, black border, plus a filter in VirtualDub then I frameserver to TMPGEnc. 22 minutes takes about 2:40 of encoding time on my Tbird 1.2 Ghz machine.

The source material isn't that great, due to the fact it is ten years old AND due to the fact I rewatched each episode a whole lotta times

SVCD seemed the best way to go, because I wanted to capture as much information off of the VHS tape and wanted to display it as best as I could.

Each episode goes on a CDR by itself. They're only 30 cents apiece, which is nothing.

Eventually I hope to finish converting the 120 or so episodes I have on tape

Frameserving to TMpegEnc under XP works for me too.

Frameserving to CCEncoder is the problem.

I read in some faq that frameserving with Vdub doesn't work with CCE 2.64, and neither does avisynth

However, vdub to cce 2.50 works under winxp for me
