I tried opening an mp4 with VD and it didn't recognize the file. Anyone know what can be done about this?

I can't make clips with Media player…

o_o VirtualDub only works with video files, right? Unless I am missing something it shouldn't work in the first place, since mp4s are audio.
-
mp3s are audio…...
20 characters?
-
mp4s are video. It's the type of file that K-F is using for their episodes now.
-
Have you tried downloading an updated VD? Other than converting the mp4 files to something different entirely, I don't know.
-
wait.. there's mp4 files? o_O

Don't you open up a .avs file for the OP .mp4's?
-
I don't know what you mean by that….
But I guess I'll try seeing if there's an update for VD...I'm afraid that converting mp4s to avis might be the only solution, at least K-F has some tutorials for that, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to go through such lengths just to make a clip of an mp4.

maybe there is a filter for vd that will allow you to play mp4s.
EDIT: it looks like there is'nt any. if you wanna make gifs, vlc allows you to make nice screencaps.
-
As far as I can tell you will probably have to convert it to avi and then use VD. A lot of people seem to be in the same boat as you and I kind of wonder why nobody has come up with a decent editor yet. There is obviously demand for it.
-
Yeah, maybe VD should do that for their next upgrade.

Better than WMP does? I've never tried taking screencaps in VLC before. But I don't suppose I can make any other kind of clips. Guess I'll have to learn to convert to avi to make avis or WMV.
