Hey everyone > . < I've been using Virtualdub for years now and this is the first time this happened. I was using virtualdub a week ago and it was totally fine then I tried to do a simple encoding today and both video panes are grey. No matter where I put the marker, it wouldn't show me any previews.
And the only way I found to see a preview is by going through the logo filter. But that becomes hard when I have a big file that I want to cut. I can't see where to mark it :\
Can anyone help me?
P.S I used a simple avi file and even tried to use old video files that i encoded with virtualdub :\ still not working. I even tried to download other versions and delete the current one. No results :\
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays!

What compression?
For example, if you've fiddled with system codecs, or maybe some software you installed recently - you might not be able to decode it properly = grey screen
Please answer the question -
I mean what type of video compression on the INPUT video.
For example, if it's xvid, and if you no longer have xvid installed on your system or it's corrupted = grey pane
If you cannot open xvid files, try re-installing xvid codec -
Try turning off directx support: Options -> Preferences -> Display -> Use DirectX... Then restart.

@poisondeathray - i don't know what the compression is on the input video but it goes to any video that I import in there, it won't have previews. And I still have xvid too since I just used it in formatfactory :\
@jagabo - oops sorry, misread your post > . < trying now -
That doesn't necessarily indicate anything, because format factory uses ffmpeg and libxvid for xvid . It doesn't rely on system installed codecs (VFW or Directshow)
vdub uses xvidvfw.dll (it's a different system)
With the file loaded in vdub, use file=>file information
Or just answer the original question using mediainfo ... -
Probably unrelated, because that refers to AC3 audio , and your audio is MP3

hmm ="= i seriously don't know what happened :\ is it safe to say that whats causing this are codecs? i can just try and uninstall some codecs that i dont need and maybe it'll help?

I was myself also puzzled when my virtualdub panes turned to grey.
None the tips I found in this page could fix the problem.'except this last one #24, maybe...)
After a few days with a disabled virtualdub (which I use a lot) I eventually found that 'Input Video Pane' and 'Output Video Pane' in 'View' menu, were just....SWITCHED OFF.........
I guess this could have also fixed the problem 'kamepi_chan' experienced when he posted this thread....
