I had to go back and manually set the Project Settings and then load the video file. The only problem - easily remedied - was that placing the video clip on the timeline did not automatically force Premier Elements’ Project Settings to the 720x480 of my video. BINGO it loaded into Premier Elements and ran smoothly. Well, I just did a VirtualDub capture using the UT Video (601) video codec, in the AVI container.
#Virtualdubmod mp4 codec mp4
That would mean that, for Premier Elements, I needed an intermediate re-encoding of AVI to MP4 (violating the “do as little re-encoding as possible” rule). Furthermore, if I was resigned to capture and compressing using H.264, you confirmed that Premier Elements does not like to see H.264 in the AVI container. Neither HuffYUV nor Lagarith video codecs worked in Premier Elements.
#Virtualdubmod mp4 codec how to
I have some 1980s VHS tapes that I want to convert to digital, edit in Premier Elements 11, then burn to DVDs and to MP4s.ĭue to the VHS source and amount of editing expected, I have spent months trying to figure out how to capture and compress the VHS material LOSSLESSLY using VirtualDub.
Thank you very much for your suggestion that I try video codec UT Video.
Then use Handbrake to “ready it” for Premier Elements by converting a copy to MP4 / H.264.Īny guidance would be appreciated thank you.
#Virtualdubmod mp4 codec archive
To add one more potential element to the mix: IF Handbrake can convert a Huffyuv- or Lagarith-encoded AVI video to H.264, then, for archival purposes, it might be worthwhile to have VirtualDub capture as AVI using Huffyuv or Lagarith, and archive it. It might be that IN ANY EVENT VirtualDub2 captures as AVI, and then, upon saving, if one chooses to save as MP4, VirtualDub2 re-encodes the capture as MP4. While at first glance it may seem that “B” above is the obvious choice - no intermediate re-encoding by Handbrake needed - perhaps that is not so. Use Handbrake to convert the AVI to MP4 (which I have read that Premier Elements fully supports), load into Premier Elements then edit orī) Use VirtiualDub2, save the capture project file as MP4 (handbrake not needed), load into Premier Elements then edit. I suppose I can then do one of the following:Ī) Save the VirtiualDub capture project file as AVI (VirtualDub’s primary format). It is also my understanding that the H.264 codec is not at home in the AVI container (it may be a bit of a kludge).įollowing your suggestion, I will try capturing my VHS into VirtualDub using H.264 compression. My understanding is that every video ENCODING degrades the video therefore, one should keep re-encoding to the minimum possible. VirtualDub2 can now also, alternatively, save a project file as MP4. In light of my experiences so far (stated or implied in my previous question), could you please guide me in the following:Īt one time, VirtualDub captured and saved only as AVI.
Thank you for your response to my question. If intending to edit in Premier Elements, must I capture VHS using H.264 lossy video codec and a compressed audio codec such as AAC? Is it so that Premier Elements does not recognize Huffyuv as a video codec? Would the same be true of Lagarith and UTVideo? And does Premier Elements not recognize uncompressed (PCM) audio? If I recapture using Huffyuv and a compressed audio codec such as AAC, the resultant AVI will load the audio into Premier Elements, but no video.
When I load the resultant AVI in Premier Elements, there is no video track and no audio track. My captures, as they appear in VirtualDub or VLC media player, are ok. My INTENDED workflow was to capture with the AVI container (what VirtualDub does) using lossless compression such as Huffyuv and PCM uncompressed audio. My project is to capture VHS (through a Hauppauage USB device) using VirtualDub, load into an older version of Premier Element, edit, burn to DVD.įor VirtualDub, I downloaded and installed lossless video codecs Huffyuv, Lagarith and UTVideo, as well as lossy H.264.
