Hi, I've used virtualdub for a long time, I opened an avi video and this error came up: "Couldn't locate decompressor for format "Xvid" (Unknown) 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. I really don't know what this means. So can someone help me? Thanks
well, from the error display i can say that you need The VFW Xvid codec which is included in the k-lite codec pack, be sure to manualy select the VFW Xvid codec or select from the drop-down menu - "lots of stuff", i am not sure though couse i havent had any of this problem before
well yeah, but is it worth it, to download just the xvid codecs, and then when you need something else, download them again separatly, when you can download k-lite at once, and not deal with it anymore, until the next update, plus you dont have to worry about separate updates... becouse k-lite takes care of that, so in the end it ends up its more time and byte consuming to download everything separatly then just k-lite, and get it over with,
well yeah, but is it worth it, to download just the XviD codecs?? Is it worth downloading XviD when you need XviD for decoding?? Of course it is. Makes much more sense to me than downloading a giant codec pack which is full of other crap that you probably don't need. How many things change between klite updates anyway? Probably you are just redownloading most of it. New XviD build maybe, new ffdshow probably. Think they added CoreAVC, but that is 100k or so.
