  1. Hi

    I am trying to TMPGENC an .avi movie, but TMPGENC comes up with "...avi cannot open, or unsupported".

    I tried DIKO, which came up with "AVISource; couldn't locate a decompressor for fourcc h264".

    I ran the .avi through GSpot & under Video Codecs, it said:

    Codec - 4CC h264
    Name - ITU H.26n
    Stat - Codec NOT installed!

    I have located the h264 codec, installed that, but still no joy.

    What am I doing wrong? I downloaded the h264 codec, double-clicked it & it seemed to install, yet I still can't play it through Windows Media Player (it plays fine through VLC) and TMPGEnc still doesn't like it!

    Any advice/links/guides/instructions will be greatly appreciated.

    Ian

  3. Hi Mats,

    Yes, after "installing" the h264 codec, GSpot still says Codec NOT installed .... I'll try this ffdshow & see if that makes a difference!

  4. Ok - Just installed ffdshow & tried opening it in TMPGenc ... It worked ... BUT ...

    I ran the avi through GSpot again & it STILL came up with "Codec NOT installed" ...

    Under the ffdshow folder in the Start menu, pick "VFW configuration." Then, in the window that opens, highlight "Codecs" in the left frame. Is the H.264/AVC option set to 'Disabled'?
    If cameras add ten pounds, why would people want to eat them?

  7. Went to the VFW configuration & h264/AVC had "libavcodec" next to it (others were disabled) .... hmmm .... Oh I don't know! hahahaha

    I'll see if it converts to dvd now ... Thanks for all your help
