Ffmpeg, VirtualDub alternative

After not having any success with the Timing settings
http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/vide...html#post45242 and despite having 0 dropped/inserted frames and having slow/fast pitch sound (Sync audio to video) or audio synchronization issues (other 2 options, combination of the below two checkboxes), I've tried ffmpeg for the video capture. It's a command line program (cli) so it's a very lightweight and can do many things, with capturing video one of them. Download the program from here https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ select your Windows architecture 32 or 64 bit and click Download Build below the options. I suggest that you make a new folder to have the program there and have it available just by opening the command line. I suggest making a new "tools" folder in C: drive and then "bin" inside tools, where you put the program. After having the folder structure C:\tools\bin, from the zip file you downloaded above, extract only the 3 exe files from folder bin inside the zip file to the above directory. You must then add that folder to the PATH variable, check how to do it here https://www.architectryan.com/2018/0...on-windows-10/ and add C:\tools\bin to it. Now you can open a command line window, type ffmpeg simply and the program will be available. First you need to get your capture card's device name. Open a command line window and type Code:
ffmpeg -list_devices true -f dshow -i dummy Code:
[dshow @ 0000018af4c9d980] DirectShow video devices (some may be both video and audio devices) The capture command is like this Code:
ffmpeg -f dshow -rtbufsize 1G -show_video_device_dialog true -show_video_crossbar_connection_dialog true -i video="ATI TV Wonder 600 USB 2.0":audio="ATI TV Wonder 600 USB 2.0" -t 02:00:00 -video_size 720x576 -framerate 25 -pixel_format yuyv422 -c:v huffyuv -c:a flac "D:\vhs_captures\capture.mkv" Code:
ffmpeg -list_options true -f dshow -i video="ATI TV Wonder 600 USB 2.0" Code:
[dshow @ 00000149a786d980] DirectShow video device options (from video devices) Code:
-video_size 720x480 -framerate 29.97 Upon entering the command, you will see the familiar Video=>Capture filter dialog from VirtualDub where you need to select your region, PAL_B if you are on PAL region or NTSC_M if you are on NTSC http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/atta...ep1pal-ntscjpg and then the dialog (Video => Crossbar in VirtualDub) where you select which connection do you use to capture, Composite or S-Video http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/atta...2connectionjpg after that the capture will start http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/atta...tep3capturejpg the resulting file is HuffYUV lossless video and FLAC lossless audio (to reduce the size over uncompressed audio), packaged in matroska MKV. If you don't like the MKV and want the VirtualDub like AVI, just change the extension on the capture command to avi. If you don't like the FLAC audio, change the flac in the command line to copy and ffmpeg will simply copy the uncompressed audio to the file like VirtualDub does without compressing it to FLAC. To actually see the picture to set up the VCR for the capture, I suggest https://www.videohelp.com/software/AmaRecTV that doesn't have the Overlay/Preview problems that VirtualDub may have on Windows 10. |
