Whenever I try to open an .avi file from my mp3 player, it says..."Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'XVID' (unkown)
VirtualDub requires a Video for Format(VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. Directshow codecs, such as those used by Windows Media Player, are not suitable."
How can I get around this?
I can't seem to open any avi file.
I think vDub works only from *installed* codecs, and probably is not coded to look within its own folder for them, but rather in the Windows path. I had to install xvid, Huffy, and Lagarith codecs on my home pc to do my projects, and I can't play any of those resulting avi's on this pc without the codecs.
Try the VirtualDub forum, and they can at least confirm or deny this possibility.
