Huffyuv is not showing in my virtualdubmpeg2
 

Hi everyone. Perhaps someone could help me out with this:

I unRARed Huffyuv last night. I copied the dll file and pasted it in my VirtualdubMpeg2 folder.

How do I save my video as a huffyuv instead of an uncompressed AVI? I press "file" on virtualdub when it's time to save my video, but I don't see huffyuv as an option.

Any assistance is appreaciated.

Thanks guys

You have to install Huffyuv into Windows, it can't be copied/pasted.

In Windows XP, you right-click on the .inf file, and go to Install.
In Windows Vista or Windows 7, follow the instructions here: http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/vide...l-huffyuv.html

Then you can set compression to Huffyuv under Video > Compression.
Then created a new AVI file with File > Save as AVI

In the DOS box I get the following:

"the system cannot find the file specified".

When I unRared the file, I extracted the dll file into my c drive.

Did I do this correctly? or did I miss something?

Where, specifically?
c:\huffyuv.dll
c:\huffyuv.inf

The DLL and INF have to be together for it to work.

And that right-click thing only works on Windows XP.

If using Windows Vista or Win7, re-read the instructions: http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/vide...l-huffyuv.html
Everything is covered in detail.
A "file not found" error would mean your command is typed wrong.

both DLL and INF files are in my c drive. As in:

c:\huffyuv.dll
c:\huffyuv.inf

Specifically as the instructions state, I press ctrl and shift and enter simultaneously after getting to cmd.

Step 3 in the instructions indicate the following: "If you've done it correctly, then the little black DOS box will say "Administrator: Command Prompt" in the on-screen text. "


Except the DOS black box does not say that. It simply says

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\myname>

Nonetheless, I typed in the command as is, with the exact space, backslash, etc.

Nothing. I get a message telling me I'm a dumbass.

Now what?

Hey! I don't know how, but it's in my Virtualdub now! But before I get too excited, I have the following questions:

1. It's version 2.1.1- CCESP Patch v0.2.2 - Is this fine?

2. Was it worth the trouble? How is this going to make my saved avi any different (since both, uncompressed avi and huffyuv are supposedly lossless)?

Start > Run
While in the "run box", first type cmd, then hold CTRL+SHIFT, then hit Enter (or click OK)

No, your computer will catch fire and melt!

Just kidding, it's fine. :D

It's the same as Huffyuv "regular" version, but patched to not barf when used with Cinemacraft encoder.

It saves space and processes faster than uncompressed. (Faster due to disk I/O.)
In terms of visual quality, vs uncompressed, it's going to look the same.

Whewwww! Thanks. :P
