To anyone who is familiar with .AVI and/or Virtual Dub

I just downloaded a .avi movie that is 108 mb. When I play it, there is no picture, just sound. Is there something I'm missing, It played just the sound on Windows Media Player, it didn't open on DiVX and It didn't open on Quicktime. There has to be a way to get the picture it can't be 108 mb of audio?

Are you using the most up to date version of divX?

 

[WDWKing]

5.01 or something like that, I'm pretty sure its the most recent one.

Sounds to me like a codec problem..it may not be divX (there are about 200 different video codecs out there)...and you may not have the one required to play the video..

...at least thats what im assuming

I'll tell you exactly what it says when I load it in VirtualDub:

"Couldn't locate decompressor for format "MP43" (Microsoft High-Speed MPEG-4 V3)
Virtual Dub requires a video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. DirectShow codecs, such as those used by Windows Media Player, are not suitable".

Thats what it says when I load the file into Virtual Dub.

As NowInc said, it is a codec problem. Sounds like you need to find the hacked Microsoft one for this to work.

 

[WDWKing]

know where I can find it, you can PM me it if you don't want to post it on the board.

 

[WDWKing]

never mind, I THOUGHT I had the new Codec but it was DiVX 3.11, sorry about that, now it works. Thx anyways.

OK now I have another Problem, It's with TMPGEnc. It should support the .avi file. The .avi file works. When I try to open it with TMPGEnc, it says "....can not open or is unsupported". WTH is going on?
