MPEG2 decoder

[marcorocchini]

Hi

in attach I have a .avi mpeg2 file, but I can not find any suitable decoder to read it in virtualdub and on windows, but I need load it on virtualdub. VTag=Mpg2

I'm on windows xp 32 bit, please where I can find a codec for it?

Thank you

Tried the mpeg2 plugin ?

If it fails try then remux the avi to a mpg file with for example ffmpeg,

ffmpeg -i video.avi -acodec copy -vcodec copy newvideo.mpg

and open the mpg in virtualdub.

ffdshow VfW interface.

thanks, now I have continued here https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/359578-Virtualdub-as-frameserver?p=2274637#post2274637

hoewver using ffdshow in virtualdub it open my mpeg2 video file wrong: because it use mpeg1 decoder in place of mpeg2. It's strange because the vtag into the .avi files is correctly mpeg2 and original files are mpeg2 hd file

I have transcode with: ffmpeg -i c0020.mxf -vcodec copy -an output.avi

so output.avi have to be a mpeg2... mediainfo says:

Using -vcodec copy it have certainly a mpeg2... how is possible it have to be a mpeg1 file?

Maybe is ffdshow load the wrong decoder

Using mpeg1 image are pixelated, jerky video, 1° first frame blak, bad result
