[Help] Converting with VDM - "Error Decompressing..&quo

Postby [Mike of the Desert] » Wed Jan 31, 2007 7:33 am

I tried to import an Anime series into VDM to extract a Frame from it, but even this program, that should be the most "Universal" possible, doesn't accept it.. :?

The program open the video, but nothing is shown and at the bottom it's possible to read this Error Line: Error Decompressing Video Frame #: An Unknown Error Has Occured (May be Corrupted Data). (Error code -100).

I don't know what to do, VDM was usually my "Last hope", the Videos I try to Import are at 16:9, Compressed with XVID, any advice? I need your help.. ;(

Thanks a lot for any interest or help you'll give. :)

hmm, are you sure your videos are not corrupt?, or do they show any scrambled pixels in the start?

Yeah, Sure, I watched them trough every single Player I have and they didn't show any type of corruption, neither problems with pixelation.

@Purge

Uhm, I studied a little Avisynth but I'm quite new to this kind of things, what's FrameServing is exactly? How should I do it and how it could possibily resolve my problem? :o

Thanks a lot anyway. :D

Install AviSynth if you already haven't done that.

Open Notepad and type DirectShowSource("C:\PATH\VIDEO.AVI") where PATH is the location of the file and VIDEO.AVI is the file name. Dont forget the quotation marks. Save the file with the extension of .AVS instead of the default .TXT. Example: VIDEO.AVS

Load the AviSynth script you just created into VDubMod.

Thanks. :)
I tried, but using AVISOURCE it just says the same error as before..
Using your suggested DirectShow, it shows an error message saying "Unrecognized Exception!"..

I Honestly don't know what to do next, mh.. :?

you don't actually need to have the address of the source, so long as it's in the same folder as your avs script.
so with the script in the same folder as the source:


directshowsource("put filename with extension here")

I'm sure that someday I'd like to do a video about it, so I was asking. :P
And, as you maybe don't know, Screening a video played on a program usually create some bugs
(because, someway, I think that there's some protection against it) and it's impossible to paste it on Photoshop.

Anyway I'll try what Minion said when I'll install again Avisynth. :) :idea:

Load the AviSynth script you just created into VDubMod.

AviSynth 2.57 actually lets you add a 'AviSynth script' entry under the right-click 'New' menu, so making sure to save with the right extension only applies if you don't create the file first (or if you do create the file first, the only thing to overcome would be force of habit).

Error Decompressing Video Frame #: An Unknown Error Has Occured (May be Corrupted Data). (Error code -100).

Ok, I did some research about this error. I actually downloaded a video uploaded by some user and tested it on my own comp (he reinstalled his windows to fix the error O_o). The video had corrupted keyframe information. All above users are correct to use AVISynth to rebuild the keyframe information, but if you are being unsuccessful then I can give an advice that a times helps me. It is the reason why I asked you to tell me, if the video was showing any pixelation or corruption in media players.

Use TmpGenc or TmpGenc Xpress HD (i use it and i love this tool), and reencode the video using directshow as your encoding source, and you'll eventually get your video in a new format. Probably HuffYUV rocks!! ^^.

You know why would directshow work...right? :oops: :wink:
