WMV to Avi convert. quick pls

[Reen@]

Excuse me everyone,

I have a urgent question to ask you people. I am searching for a good converting program that is 100% reliable, does only converts 50% of the video and leaves no logo or testscript behind.
I want, no NEED to convert a WMV file to AVI so I can use it in VirtualDub. Furthermore I do not like to get results that take my whole diskspace in.

The wmvfile is just a 15.000kb file and does not need to get a huge 10GB.

I hope you people can help me out quickly, because I am in a rush actually.

Write an AviSynth script like this:

Code: Select all

DirectShowSource("whatever.wmv")

That should open it in VirtualDubMod and you can convert it in there.[/code]

Just that?

And then upload into filters?

Where's my head, ofcourse it cannot go into filters. Sorry for that XD

How do I get AVS files into VirtualDub?

[Reen@]

Why is there no edit button???

I rephrase my question: (again)

What do I do with the AVS file so that a WMV can be uploaded into VirtualDub?

Ok, shoot me when I rephrase again

you drag and drop

a lot of this is covered in this guide

I kind of get this error when loading the file, then Vdub creates an defealt.avs.

Did I do something wrong? I used this code for the file (just this one)

Code: Select all

DirectShowSource("dichterbij_150[2].wmv")

Secondly, the tutorial about Avisynth says the AVS files can be played in WMP. Mine does not.

[Reen@]

Oh yes, the error says " Cannot determine file type of "C:Program Files\WMR11\dichterbij_150[2]--default.avs" "

[Reen@]

To add something;

When I uplaod one avi file, I get another error about "VBR Audio detected"
Therefore it introduces up to 327ms of skew for the video stream.

Can I repair this in any way? Or do I need to redo the avifile in a video editing program?

you need to include the full path of the video that you're trying import.

there are 2 parts to the file path (both are circled in red)

so let's say that I want to use clip26.avi
I'd do this

Code: Select all

directshowsource("C:\Documents and Settings\Use\My Documents\My Videos\clip26.avi")

you'll notice that the first part is in the explorer bar at the top, and the rest of the file path is: \filename.something

the audio skew is because someone forced variable bitrate audio into the avi stream (the avi container is oly supposed ot have cbr audio instead of vbr)
you could demux, and re-encode your audio as cbr using besweet and then re-mux...but I wouldn't do that unless you need that audio and need it to be synced
