In order to determine which codec(s) you need for a particular .AVI, you should do the following:

1) Load the file into VirtualDub

2) From the "File" dropdown menu, select "File Information"

3) Post (here) EVERYTHING you see (both video and audio information), or post a screen capture .jpg of the information box

This video requires that you install the DivX v.3.11alpha codec...

[setarip]

Just click on the DivX Digest link at the top of this page ;>}

[setarip]

Turn off any firewall(s) that you may have installed.
