.7z is not a default Windows extension - you need to install a 3rd party program to open it - e.g. 7-zip (free).

I'm assuming your .7z contains files inside it which you use to install the codec. I can only guess.

I don't know where you got it or why, or what you understand to be.
Notice here there's also a more familiar zip version by the way:
Release ffmpeg git 2021-11-25 builds . GyanD/codexffmpeg . GitHub
- might have been easier for you as Windows can open zip natively.

If you return to where you got it from, you may find guidance as to what your supposed to do with it. Clearly you downloaded that for a purpose- I feel you're simply guessing as to what to do with it.

You now suddenly and rather randomly mention Virtualdub.

This may help wrt ffmpeg and Virtualdub:
Virtualdub FFMpeg Input Plugin download | SourceForge.net

I'm following bellow URLs to install ffmpeg

That method is not related to Virtualdub, if that's what you're interested in.

I've given you one that adds ffmpeg as a plugin for Virtualdub.


Missing from all of this is your actual goal.

What is it you are actually trying to do?

As to Virtualdub, as you saying it doesn't launch, or what, exactly?
Please post a screenshot to illustrate. Thanks.

Sorry for missing to mention VirtualDub at the beginning.

I have been working several days unable making VirtualDub, both VirtualDub1 and VirtualDub2, to browse video files, .avi, mp4, vob etc, only audio working on VirtualDub2. I thought the problem may come from ffmpeg therefore I reinstalled ffmpeg but fail. That is the start of this posting.

Please refers attached screenshots

VirtualDub1
A warning popup

VirtualDub2
Only audio playing without video

I installed the 32 bit version: it opened an avi, but for an mp4 I got


despite mp4's being playable e.g. with WMP.

I found this for your error message: but it does NOT apply to Win 10..

How to Fix VirtualDub 'Missing codec AVC1' error - YouTube


What is it you actually want to do with video files? It may be better to look at some other program..

I'm going to following the steps on following YouTube;

to enhance the quality of my old video ripped on computer from VHS and V8 tapes

It required VirtualDub
