Cannot install HuffYUV on Windows 64-bit Vista or Win 7 [solved]

[aleste81]

This [SOLVED] post is partly wrong, you don't need the whole syswow64 + run as admin stuff

+ On Windows x32, just download HUFFYUV x32 and right-click the inf file and Install (and use VirtualDub x32)
+ On Windows x64, just download HUFFYUV x64 and right-click the inf file and Install (and use VirtualDub x64)

you need the hack ONLY to use HUFFYUV x32 on Windows x64 !!!

Ugh, still doesn't show up under compression in Virtual Dub.

[listen]

What worked for in Windows 7 64-bit was using the instructions i post 3, but switching to the 64-bit huffyuv codec and installing it in system32 using CMD with admin rights.

The command looked like this:
1. Browsed to c:\windows\system32\
2. Typed in: runddll32.exe setupapi.dll InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 0 c:\huffyuv64\huffyuv.inf

My huffyuv 64-bit .dll and .inf was located in a folder called huffyuv64 on my c-drive. Suddenly huffy showed up i Vdub. Time to capture =)

Hope this can help someone out there.

I'd just like to thank the last three posters.

Sometimes the instructions don't always work 100% the same from person to person. So thanks for sharing your added failings and successes. We'll try to incorporate some if/then/and/but type statements into the third posts that discusses the available methods.

Much of this is just due to the variations of Windows, as well as variations in how it can be set up.

Thanks, Microsoft!

You may need to install as admin on some system :

C:\Windows\system32> rundll32.exe setupapi.dll InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 0 C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\huffyuv64\huffyuv.inf

That's what most people want to do, since fully 64-bit workflows are hard to come by. Especially if you want to use Avisynth plugins.

Tested and working with Windows 10 RC

Couldn't get to work on full copy of Windows 10, but I figured it out by accident - I dragged and dropped into the SysWOW64 folder manually and it worked.

I did new windows 7 64bit installation, Trying to install HuffYUV, the installation returned no errors but HuffYUV still don't show up on VDUB, I had it working before just don't know why this time, It must have been something really stupid that I have overlooked.

Look at my post above - it works with 7, 8, and 10 - tested.

[latreche34]

The file is copied and checked it's there otherwise I would have gotten an error message, still not listed in vertdub yet.

Ok there goes the stupid thing, My vertdub is 64bit version, so installed HuffYUV64 and it showed up in vertdub just like that.

I recently installed Huffyuv on my new Skylake desktop build, and had no problems. I followed the guide early on in this post.

VirtualDub has a 64-bit build now? I wasn't aware. Still using 32-bit here.

[latreche34]

I've had Vertdub 64 bit for quit awhile now, don't remember exactly when, But I don't think there ais ny difference in performance.

I understand this is an old thread, but I just wanted to clarify that there was a recent tutorial that covered installing HuffYUV 32 bit on a 64 bit PC.

You would pretty much follow everything that the 3rd post stated but would this time use the following command:
rundll32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSectio n DefaultInstall 0 C:\huffyuv-2.1.1\huffyuv.inf

Note that you would replace the "C:\huffyuv-2.1.1" with wherever you placed it.

You should also replace "huffyuv-2.1.1" with whatever huffyuv filename you have. I just used this filename due to the fact that I installed it off of another (reliable) website).

** Experienced users can unzip/unrar it anywhere they want, but be sure to notice your path when installing it in Step 4 of the above instructions!

This should read "step 3", I think.
