Hi, I am so a newbie in xvid to vcd conversion. i followed the conversion instruction posted on Guides. The movie i'm dealing with has ac3 audio type. Thus, according to the instructon i need VirtualDubMod to separate the audio file from the.avi file. i downloaded VirtualDubMod and just when i opened the .avi file, it gives me this error. VirtualDub Error Couldn't locate decompression for forma 'XVID' btw, i'm running on Windows XP What do i need? and how do i get it? Please help! thanks
oh yeah, this is also included in the error message VirtualDub requires a Video For Windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress Video. DirectShow codecs, such as those used by Windows Media Player, are not suitable
Hi Kev1092, thx for responding =) I do have xvid codec installed. Here are the codecs I have: XviD MPEG-4 Video Decoder AC3Filter and the movie plays well with Windows Media Player is that the right xvid codec i need? thx again
I would think so, I was getting the same error the other day and then I installed it and was able to work in that program with no problems. Just curious, but do you also have a DivX codec installed or try viewing the file in AVI Codec for any odd signs or formats. If you were missing a required codec, AVI codec should say unsupported or something like that.
Here is the link for AVI Codec http://avicodec.duby.info/ It will give you useful information about the video and audio streams in your file, if you see one that is 'unsupported', then you might be missing the correct codec. ^_^
I downloaded AVIcoded, looks like its sumthing like GSpot =) Everything looks fine, both video and audio are supported, no sign of error or anything. What seems to be the problem? Thanks a lot for the info
