#XVID DECOMPRESSOR INSTALL#
So you have to download and install all this other stuff, adjust many settings to something other than the defaults, and on and on. Based on many of the tutorials I watched, there are no recommended codecs included as part of the package. Trying to use VirtualDub is like starting over with PCs at ground zero.Įverything is so convoluted. Train: Thanks for trying! I looked at several of the tutorials and my opinion has remained unchanged.

Slow down and go slowly until it falls in place. (d) How can I get VirtualDub to open that avi/mpg file. (c) Is there any special 'place' (folder, etc) inside Windows XP (Home SP2) that I should put my codec so that it can be shared by other programs ? I downloaded and installed a XVID codec (that I downloaded from ), and VirtualDub still gives me that error message, and refuses to open my files (I tried avi, and I tried mpg - same error encountered). DirectShow codecs such as those used by Windows Media Player, are not suitable."

VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows (Vfw) compatible codec to decompress video. "Can't locate decompressor for format 'xvid' (unknown). But I cannot get VirtualDub to open the file.

I want to rip the sound track from the avi/mpg file using VirtualDub 1.7.8 (Build 28346). I can play that file with Windows Media Player (v.11). I have an AVI file which I successfully converted from flv format to avi/mpg format using avs Video Converter (v.6).
