VirtualDubMod help by NiteMare on 05-26-2006 at 07:07 PM

I'm trying to use VirtualDubMod to recompress a video with Divx, but when i open the video i get this:

quote:
[!] Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'dvsd' (unknown).
    VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec to
    decompress video. DirectShow codecs, such as those used by Windows Media
    Player, are not suitable. Only 'Direct stream copy' is available for this
    video.



what do i do?

Like the message says, you need a VFW codec for it. One might have come with your camera, or you might be able to load the file with AVS.
