MOV 2 AVI?

FYI: Using QT Pro is out. The QT files of the LOTR trailers are locked so you can't resave or export the original file. So no .mov to .avi that way.

One more method:
There is a MOV plug-in at <A HREF=[http://www.doom9.net]>Doom9.net</A> under MPEG 1-2 encoders. Just open it and export AVI.

Bleh, that's what I said to look for - a DirectShow filter. :)
VirtualDub doesn't have any of its transcoder filters "built in" -- it interfaces with the DirectX API. (As it should.)

Anyway: If you do use that kind of setup, be careful about what kind of codec your Quicktime file uses. I have to emphasize: Quicktime is not a closed format. For evidence, I point you to:

http://www.heroinewarrior.com/quicktime.php3

At the same time, Quicktime can be used with proprietary codecs, such as Sorenson. Quicktime files encoded with such systems will not be opened by anything else other than Apple's proprietary software. (Sorenson V1 was recently open-sourced, but who the heck uses that anymore?) If, on the other hand, your Quicktime file is uncompressed or compressed using an "open" method, you'll be fine.

Of course, if all you want is the audio, all this is moot. Go read AD's guide. :) If, however, you ever want to use Quicktime for anything else (for example, what it was designed for), consider this a PSA. :)

as a referance

VirtualDub does not use DirectX or DirectShow

it uses Video for Windows

it can not read anythign unless there is a VfW driver for the codec...

the next version of VDub will suport Directshow...

but 1.4.10 (latest version) is not even close to suporting DirectShow

? There are a few codecs that VirtualDub can read on this system that I don't remember installing VfW drivers for. Unless those came with the installation package, and I didn't see them.

*sigh* - ok, tried AD's guide, but that software in the guide has been updated and doesn't seem to work for the new version.

dBpowerAMP Music Converter - as soon as I open the program, it asks me to open a file.. of which the movie file is not avalible. Greahhh!

baka.... you use the support app, like the guide says.

Guess what kiddies, we are going to use dBpowerAMP Music Converter again but this time we need to download the Auxiliary Input Plugin.


read the guide properly and download the auxilliary input plugin, like I said.
