.mkv and VirtualDubMod

Postby TetsuyaDL » Fri Aug 29, 2008 9:34 pm

I'm trying to open an .mkv file in VirtualDubMod. If I try to open the original file, I get the error message:

"Only handle [S_Text/] subs for the moment"

I looked through the archive and found someone suggested using mkvmerge GUI. I tried muxing both with one audio track, and no audio tracks, but VirtualDubMod gives me several errors when I try to open this:

MKV: A frame of stream 1 (at 1402484 ms) had only a foward reference (maybe broken file)

MKV: Video frames seems to be weirdly ordered.

Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'yyyy' (unknown)

Am I not using mkvmerge GUI correctly? Is it an outdated program?

How are you opening it in VirtualDub? Are you using an AviSynth script? That's what you should do, if you aren't. Vdub doesn't like Matroska too much.

Try using FFMPEGSource found <a href="http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=127037">here</a>. I've had no problem importing MKV files into VDub using this. Even h.264 MKVs.

I am the same problem, so instead of creating a new thread I already search about this problem, I've reinstalled all the codecs, right now I have CCCP, Avisynth, and I put the ffmpegsource at the plugin folder of avisynth but VirtualDub Mod still gives me the same error =/

someone can help me ?

you need to make an avisynth script to load your .mkv into vdubmod
(putting ffmpegsource into avisynth's plugins folder is only part of the solution)

Code: Select all
ffmpegsource("[path to your file].mkv")

What if your source mkv file has 2 languages of subtitles in your mkv file? How would you go about removing them and to just get the video when you convert into a proper editing codec?

Another Question: Isn't AMVApp like 5 or 6 years old?? Isn't there anything else that's more updated and works better with Vista to use? (All the errors that comes up makes it unbearable to work with.)

@JazzyDJ: Are you using AviSynth to open your MKV file in Vdub? I've never had a subtitle stream open on Vdub before. (I use AviSynth.) Without AviSynth I assume you can go to the "Streams" pull down menu and then go to the Stream List and disable subtitle streams there. Vdub alone doesn't handle MKV files well on XP or Vista, though, so maybe that's where your errors are coming from?

If you use FFmpegSource to load it, then there is no 'removing' necessary, as it doesn't load subtitles. With DirectShowSource, you have to disable subtitle rendering completely either through VSFilter or Haali's Media Splitter (unless you want to go through the hassle of remuxing the whole file without them there).

Depends on which AMVapp you're referring to. The beta version is only about 2 or 3 years old, I think. And AMVapp will have errors during the installation tests, but from everyone else's reports it works fine on Vista.

But I just update each program myself, which would eliminate any sort of Vista incompatibility weirdness (since you'd be using the newest versions; and by now, most of those apps have solid Vista support). If you need the collection of AviSynth plugins it comes with, you can probably extract them from the installer with 7zip.

That's odd. I've never once had DirectShowSource open a subtitle stream, even if Haali is set to display it. Have all versions of DirectShowSource been that way?
