Codec Problems with Editing videos in VirtualDub on PC/Mac

VirtualDub can delete segments of a video file, append new segments, or reorder existing segments. Appended segments must have similar audio and video formats, dimensions, number of audio channels, frame rates and sampling rates. Otherwise, VirtualDub is incapable of mixing dissimilar video files or adding transition effects between segments.

VirtualDub comes with a number of video editing components known as "filters". They can perform such tasks as reducing the video size by half, converting the video to grayscale and arbitrary rotation. Filters may be used during the video assembly as well. Filter plug-ins further extend VirtualDub's capabilities. A plug-in SDK is available for developers to create their own video and audio filters. But users still have problems when editing videos in VirtualDub due to the codecs problems. So here we provide you the solution for editing video without the video codecs issues.

VirtualDub best editable format is AVI format. The direct way to edit MP4, MKV, FLV, MOV and other formats in VirtualDub is to convert it to AVI so that you can import the media into the application. Pavtube Video Converter (Pavtube Video Converter for Mac) is the recommended program you can use for this task. With it, you can easily convert any upsupported video and codecs like MP4, MKV, H.265, MOV, MPG etc to VirtualDub best AVI format for smooth editing.
