In short: No matter how many times I install a H264/AVC VFW codec, Virtualdub keeps giving me the "cannot find decoder for H264" error.
Hello, I am new to the world of video editing, so please excuse me if my terminology is wrong
All I want to do is split video files. I have downloaded a few AVI and MP4 videos and wish to cut out segments (commercials) and save the pieces as separate files. While I have been using mainly AviDemux for this, every now and then AviDemux doesn't work. (I cannot scroll the seek bar, or sometimes it will lose a significant part of ending frames).
As a result, I am trying to use Virtualdub for these troublesome files. I have installed/uninstalled the x264vfw codec multiple times, but every time I try to open the AVI with VDub I still get the same "cannot find decoder" error. x264 also does not show up in the list under "Video--> Compression". I also tried ffdshow, and even when I set the H264/AVC to libavcodec, the error remains.
My OS is 64 Bit Windows 8 but my Virtualdubs, ffdshow and x264VFW are all the 32 bit type. The videos play fine with VLC, so I know the files aren't corrupted.
Any tips on how to troubleshoot?
Thank you,
