VirtualDub 1.5.0 with MPEG-2 and AC3 support

For anyone interested, the source code is here: (AC3 decoding is disabled in the source.)

Got it yesterday - still works like a charm. I'm seriously considering switching to NTFS so I could rip one big VOB. [Hint, hint, nudge, nudge, wink, wink.] :D

VirtualDub 1.5.1 binaries with fccHandler's MPEG-2 upgrade are out. Works nicely with the 1.5.0 upgrade code, with no changes needed. This time I include the P4 binaries, too. Hope you find it useful... PS: Sorry about not posting the link to the new sources in my last update. That's fixed now. DeXT

Just noticed... Audio and video are desynced when I open my test VOBs ("The Fellowship of the Rings" trailers). I can open it via AVISynth script (plus Decomb and everything) and it'll be synched with external WAV just fine. Opening VOBs directly in fccHandler's mod with external WAVs doesn't help either. I'm getting black boxes on the green MPAA warning when I play the input/output but if I use [Left]/[Right] keys to browse through the frames there are no errors in decoding. It takes up 100% of my ThunderBird @ 1,3 GHz when previewing input if I don't enable DirectDraw acceleration (and if I do enable it, it takes up "only" 70%). Is that normal?

Can someone or dext mirror the site? It is temporarily inaccessible, heh...:scared:

Yes, changing framerate helps but not completely - 23,55 seems to be about right. Hard to tell since there's not that much talk in these trailers... Frames: B-B-I-B-B-P-B-B-P-B-B-P-B-B-I... It would seem so... What makes me wonder is how is it that when I "browse" through those frames "manually" I don't get black boxes? Also, MPEG-2 decoders for AVISynth don't experience such problems. It's easy to skip the first couple of frames but I curious why is it so. P.S.: Try it a few times, PkmoNk. Got error the first time I've tried it also.

Yes, it's the bothersome Film/NTSC mix - that's why I use Decomb. I've always assumed that it's really 23,976 FPS - didn't know that the actual framerate can vary. Thanks for the explanation. Audio/video offset is not a big issue as it can be fixed with "Audio skew correction" in "Interleaving...".

fccHandler published an updated MPEG-2 patch to VirtualDub 1.5.1. This one should take rid of the separate fields issue and has other improvements, too. See the original post with more information here: Get the thing here (fccHandler's homepage): Good work! DeXT
