Decompressor???

[travle]

ok some of my avi files i try to encode will work but some say they couldn't find a decompressor......is there any way to fix this without getting a different copy

is it the audio or the video giving you the problem? if it's ac3 install this

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/AC-3_ACM_Decompressor.htm

you may want to post the file info from virtualdub/gspot

[travle]

ok i downloaded that and read the readme file and the file it said for me to right click on and choose install is just a text file and i don't have an option to install on the other files

[travle]

sorry for my ingnorance i forgot to extract the files first

ok i installed what you told me to and i still get this Avisynth open failure: AVIsource: couldn't locate a decompressor for fourcc xvid

[LT. Columbo]

that's why i asked if it was the audio or video giving you the problem. you can install fddshow or xvid 1.0.3

xvid (get the stable version)

fddshow

ok yeah i already have fddshow and i used the VFW codec configuration to turn the xVid off disabled .....this idea hit me after i sent that last message...thanks for your help though now it works perfectly
