Now click on the "Configure" button to bring up the "x264 configuration" dialog box. Check the "Force keyframes every _ frames" set its value to 15 (as in the input video, in my case). This will bring up the "Select video compression" dialog.įrom the list, select "x264 8 bit - H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec". Now under "Video", click on the "Change" button (next to the "Compression:" field). An oversight on the programmer's end I think.Īs for the "Save as type:" parameter, set it to "MP4 +faststart (*.mp4)".

Otherwise, the input file will be overwritten, which will then result in an error. So, remember to give your save file a different and unique name. The "File name:" parameter in this dialog box defaults to the input file name. Saving Post-processed VideosĪfter post-processing, to save the video file, hit the F7 button to bring up the "Save File" dialog. Not bad considering that I only have a 2GB RAM, Pentium Dual Core 2.7 GHz computer and I could get my video processing done in a reasonable amount of time. Yes - after a lull of 2 years, I have rekindled my love affair with VirtualDub, albeit with one of its younger siblings VirtualDub2. So I assume that what I have done must be correct. My uploaded VirtualDub2 post-process videos were accepted by Dreamstime, no rejections based on technicalities. I use the parameters in the video files that were produced by my cameras as a guide. It took me quite awhile to figure out the parameters and the steps to save my video files in the H.264 format in the MP4 container in VirtualDub2. That's completely wrong.How I wish that saving my edited video files in VirtualDub2 is as simple as clicking on a single button or option like in Avidemux. So I need to find a JPEG video codec for WMP12 if I can't find such a JPEG codec, then I will have to accepted loss of video quality due to the decompress/re-compress cycle, and that is something I try to avoid. The point is that as long as WMP12 cannot decode JPEG compression, a lossless conversion from JPEG-PCM/MOV to JPEG-PCM/AVI won't work in WMP12. Thanks in advance, j PS: Lossless conversion of old videos and movies (with already a lower quality), or getting the appropriate (old) codecs for playing those old videos on more recent platforms looks like a very daunting challenge. Would there be any JPEG codec around for WMP12 that can really handle JPEG/AVI video files. 1) What is the most widely (internationally) accepted, most widely compatible with any video player, and most 'open' video file format? Is that.MP4, or could the.MOV format -although proprietary, I believe- be a better pick, or is there still another video file format out there which could be more future-proof/robust? 2) About the video compression, is H.264 the most widely used/accepted compression, or is there already another compression algorithm showing signs of being better future-proof? 3) The same question as previous but this time for the audio compression which is the most standardized and the best audio compression with the least potential for making trouble in a few years time from now (by having become obsolete)? 4) Wat is the 'best' converter according to your experience/opinion.

So I'm now considering converting my old JPEG.MOV video files to another file format, and maybe to another (video and audio) compression algorithm (codec) too, if the latter is possible with freely available converters.
