AVISource problem in VDM

See if the AVI will even load directly into VDM (as in, not through AVIsynth. Just drag the video into VDM and see if it reads). If it doesn't, and you know for a fact that you have installed an actual build of XviD, then I'd say something is wonky with the original encode of the AVI, and not with your system/codecs.

It gives a similar message in a different window "Couldn't locate decompressor for dvsd" but the video still loads into it for some reason, though it won't show the footage if I'm scrolling through, and it doesn't give me the option to use any compressors, and if I do export that same uncompressed footage, it comes out with the sound lagging about a second behind.

Would it be possible if I could just put the original AVI on a DVD, then decrypt that DVD and convert the Mpeg footage to XViD? If nothing else works, that is.

Okay, DVSD definitely != XviD.

You need a VFW DV codec; this one seems to work: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Pan ... _Codec.htm

It worked! Both the avs and the avi files load into VirtualDubMod without a problem now.

Thanks for everyone's help.
