How to open MPEG-2 / VOB files in VirtualDub

Saturday, July 13th, 2013

Ordinarily, VirtualDub cannot understand MPEG-2 video files, but there is a plugin that makes this possible:

  • MPEG-2 plugin v4.5 by fccHandler, Released March 23, 2012
  • File: [MPEG2.vdplugin] goes into folders Plugins32 or Plugins64 (as appropriate) of the folder your [VirtualDub.exe] resides in (32-bit or 64-bit):
    • Not the existing folder, simply called [plugins]
    • VirtualDub will find and use the plugins automatically
  • YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B78dsIqaW7Y
  • Download link – http://tinyurl.com/ykd42fy
  • Discovered via Google:[virtualdub mpeg2]

Prior to awareness of this, I would have used VirtualDubMod, but that development has been discontinued as of 2005 (though at http://sourceforge.net/projects/virtualdubmod/ the download area says “Last Update: 2013-05-07”
