VirtualDub

What works

Works perfectly, installed K-lite codec pack and tested all audio and video compression codecs.

Added flv, wmv, MP4, QT and Direct show input plugins, work like a charm. Can now play, edit or convert Youtube vids.  You may have to manually add ac3acm.ax to system.ini to make VDub play AC3 encoded video. I think this is due to the K-lite intaller not wine.

Additional Comments

If all others fail, it makes a good video player in wine as well...

To have a context menu in KDE (e.g. Dolphin):

• add the following file:
  ~/.kde/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/virtualdub.service 
  (in KDE 5 moved to ~./local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus)

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Service
ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin
MimeType=video/*
Actions=Virtualdub;
#X-KDE-Submenu=Virtualdub
#X-KDE-Submenu[de]=
Encoding=UTF8

[Desktop Action Virtualdub]
Name=Compress using Virtualdub
Icon=video
Exec=~/bin/virtualdub.sh ~/path/default-compression.vcf "%f"

• create a "default-compression.vcf" somewhere by Save processing settings... from Virtualdub. (includes current filters and codec settings)
• add the following file, make it executable
  ~/bin/virtualdub.sh
  

#!/bin/bash

export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine
WINE=/usr/bin/wine 
VDUB=~$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Progs/VirtualDub/VirtualDub.exe

VCF=$(winepath -w "$1")
JOBS=$(winepath -w ~/path/virtualdub.jobs)
VIDEO=$(winepath -w "$2")

#echo $WINE $VDUB /master $JOBS /s $VCF $VIDEO
$WINE $VDUB /master $JOBS /s $VCF $VIDEO

If you don't need compression presets, you may remove all VCF stuff. If you want to use the default JOBS file, you may remove all JOBS stuff.
