Video in MuLab?

[BlackWinny]

In case anyone needs it, here's a handy Windows ffmpeg script to turn anything into an AVI file (should preserve quality). Set the value for "ffmpeg" to the location of the ffmpeg.exe on your system and then save it somewhere.

Code: Select all

@echo off
set ffmpeg="D:\Program Files\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe"
for %%f in (%*) do %ffmpeg% -hide_banner -threads auto -i "%%~sf" -q:a 0 -q:v 0 "%%~dpnf.avi"
pause

Then add a shortcut to the file to your {user}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo directory called something useful. You can then right-click, SendTo any (media) file and convert to something mediavst understands.

Very interesting!

Thank you pl!

ffmpeg exceeds expectations... I fed it a text file... it created a video of the text file scrolling up a console... If you want to set that to music...

Oh, and you can also feed an audio and video file to the following to create a MKV file (or whatever output format you pick):

Code: Select all

@echo off
set ffmpeg="D:\Program Files\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe"
%ffmpeg% -hide_banner -threads auto -i "%~s1" -i "%~s2" -map 1:a:0 -map 0:v:0 -q:a 0 -q:v 0 -y "%~dpn2.mkv"
pause

Note that this tells ffmpeg to use the incoming audio at it's native quality - it may be best to use lossy compressed audio, I've not experimented feeding it lossless.

There is another option for playing video with vst, still in beta:

it seems to be based on ffmpeg so should handle most file types. Haven't tried it yet myself.
