VirtualDub cannot parse error?

[AndyLP]

Good day.

I am a new member here.
To be honest, I joined because a link I followed indicated that virtualDub questions have been answered here.


Here goes...

I want to use virtual dub to convert a MOV file that was done with H265 10bit recording.
When I try to load the file I get a Virtualdub Cannot Parse "filename" error.

Do i need to insall some sort of codecs or plugin?

Thanks for help

For video capture, use VirtualDub 99%+ of the time.

But for video conversion, VirtualDub2 tends to be better, as that fork was created with more input/output formats in mind. However, I'm not sure how H.265 reacts. Probably not.

For H.265 > whatever conversion, Hybrid is probably what you want.

Why are you wanting to use VirtualDub here?

Note that VirtualDub2 vs. VirtualDub gets stickier when it comes to the restoration filters. Lots of filters broke in VirtualDub2, and no longer work correctly. (I've notified the dev of these problems, long ago, but nothing was address. I wasn't even acknowledged. This wasn't in an email, either, but the official VH forum post where the dev visits.)

yep.

About 30 minutes after posting my question, I discovered VDub2 !!
Works like a charm.

Thanks for the support!

I need to convert a MOV to an uncompressed Avi or Ser file.

All the other freeware / trialware do not generate files I can use in my astrosoftware (it wont load any of them).

VDub2 did the job.
