Video Enhancer can't process my file

Yes 24 and 32 are bit depths, VE and all the filters internally work in RGB32. Usually there should be no problem in this difference, but in your case most probably some of the codecs is being inserted for "decoding" RGB24 and fails to deliver RGB32.

The .txt file in debug mode should be created in the folder where you told the output video file to be. Please check carefully.

Hi.

Thanks for confirmation re those numbers.

I have checked again re the.txt file.  I told VE to save the "converted" file in the same folder as the original; obviously, no converted file is there and nor is there any .txt file there.

Sorry!

Just to make sure I'll do a full search of my PC to ensure it's not been put somewhere "unusual".

Update: have searched whole of computer, definitely no .txt file of anything to do with VE!

Too bad.
In this case you can either wait for the new release (few days) and hope it will do better, or if you're ready to spend some time and efforts, we can try to diagnose the case using GraphEditPlus.

Can I choose a combination of the two?!!

Wait for release of next version and if that doesn't resolve my problem, try diagnosing with GraphEditPlus?

Put simply, if the new version is out within a few days and more investigation is needed I should have more time available in a couple of weeks.

Thanks very much for all your advice here.  As I said in a previous post, it looks as if VE is exactly what I need to improve the quality of the VHS to DVD transfers I do; often the VHS originals are old and not of high quality.

Looking forward to trying the new version!

Final Update (for now): Since I have a dual-boot system (XP/Win7) and all my attempted use of VE has been under XP, I decided to install VE under Win 7 to see if that was going to be any different in terms of outcome.  Unfortunately it was not; the error message was identical!

If you succeeded opening your video in VirtualDub and if your video is all like the piece you uploaded, then you can improve it a bit by applying deinterlacing and other filters in VirtualDub itself, there's no need for VE. I don't think VE will be able to reveal new details in this kind of blurry video.

OK.  Thanks again.

I will download the new version when it becomes available and at least give it a try!

Thanks for all your help.
