Captured video using Picvideo m-jpeg unreadable!

[CrumCon]

Hey folks,

ive got a strange problem here.
I have captured my movies using picvideo m-jpeg, after finish of capturing my computer doesnt recognize the file type, not even videolan could playback the file.
I was using virtualdub when capturing the movie, but even virtualdub doesnt recognize the file when tried to open!

the file ended up about 5GB+

I can played the movie fine when it as about 250mb.

could anyone help me please, what other codec do i need.

i am using picvideo version 3 for capturing my video.

thanks folks

Because it's motion-JPEG and not MPEG. M-JPEG is nothing more than a series of still photos. It isn't video.

You need to do some reading about video first:
