I have a audio recording that was saved as a avi file, which is strange because there is no video. When I try to play it on my iPhone or Android, it says the file is not supported. Even VLC will not play it, it says:
Codec not supported:
VLC could not decode the format "RFBW" (No description for this codec)
Unidentified codec:
VLC could not identify the audio or video codec
I've tried to convert it using other video to audio converters but they all fail.
I just happen to try it in Windows media player, and to my shock, it actually played it. Now I'm really confused how Windows media player can play it but VLC, which usually plays pretty much anything, fails to.
Anyone know how I can extract/convert the audio from this stubborn avi? If WMP can play it, is there a way in WMP to convert and save it?
Here is the MediaInfo from the file if that helps:
