#Matroska codec for virtualdub install

You need to install a better one to get higher bitrate support. How do I get VirtualDub to encode 128Kbps MP3? The MP3 encoding capability you're seeing isn't in VirtualDub - it's being provided by an audio codec you have installed in your system. VirtualDub's MPEG-1 parser is intolerant to errors compared to its AVI parser, so unfortunately there is no easy solution to the latter problem.

You have an MPEG-1 file that is corrupted.

You have an MPEG-2 file, which VirtualDub doesn't support.

What does 'Packet sync error' mean? I get it when I try to open my MPEG file. I don't have a desire to write an MPEG-1 encoder at this point. Can VirtualDub write MPEG-1 files? No, only read them. Input/Output Can VirtualDub read QuickTime, MPEG-2, RealMedia, or ASF files? No, and installing codecs won't help. However, the current 32-bit versions run fine under 64-bit Windows. Is there an AMD64 (x86-64) version? Not yet. MMX, SSE, and SSE2 optimizations in the normal build will automatically kick in as appropriate on AMD CPUs. Is there an Athlon-optimized version? No, and I have no plans to make one, as I don't have a compiler that specifically targets Athlon anyway.

Some people have made unofficial modified versions in the past that did, but the official versions never had those features.

How come the current versions don't? No, they didn't. Previous versions used to have MP3 audio source support, VBR audio support, etc. All 32-bit x86 versions of Windows are supported except for Windows CE and versions of Windows NT prior to 4.0. Is VirtualDub compatible with Windows XP? Yes - in fact, both of my development platforms are now XP-based.
