i cant find this codec

Let's start from the beginning. What codec did you save the video you are trying to compress in? Uncompressed AVI? DV AVI? Huffyuv? Lagarith?

Did you try to load the video into VirtualDubMod with an AviSynth script like:

Code: Select all

AVISource("c:\path\yourvideo.avi")

where path is the location of the video file and yourvideo.avi is the name of the video.

He should also try DirectShowSource as well as AVISource, in case it's using a codec with no VfW version installed.

ok ill start from the top
1. I created a AMV on WMM.
2. When i tried to save the movie file to anything OTHER than DV-AVI(NTSC) WMM would stop at a certain % like 80 or 33 and wouldnt save anymore. I could cancel the save so the program didnt crash it just wouldnt save it anymore.
3. So i saved it to DV-AVI and they work fine its just that there too big to upload anywhere.
4. and VDM is very confusing to me.
5. I tried opening the video in VDM but it wouldnt open i got some error.

i tried opening it with avisynth on VDM and got this error
"Avisynth open failure:
AVISource: couldnt locate a decompressor for fourcc dvsd
(C:/Documentd and Settings\J\My Documents\The Brothers--default2.avs, line 2)

So try using

Code: Select all

DirectShowSource("video.avi")

as suggested above; you're probably decoding DV-AVI with DirectShow instead of VFW, because not a lot of Windows boxes come with DV support.

i kno i keep postin and it looks like bumpin but i keep gettin tryin fix this shit. I really just wanna kno why my WMM keeps freezing when i save my movie files. like for my naurto video, it freezes at the 80% mark and the timer starts counting up. and keeps going up and the bar neevr moves forward.

This replaces any use of the AviSource() function in your AviSynth script.

He could use directshowsource() but perhaps it's easier to just download a DV codec - Mainconcept, Sony, Panasonic, and finally ffdshow, are just a few that will work.
