wmv missing codec

[uglijimus]

I'm using VD to convert a wmv file to an avi. Here is the source vids specs:

C:\Program Files\xerox\Desktopbad\1.wmv

File : 1.64 GB (1.64 GB), duration: 2:30:08, type: ASF, 1 audio
stream(s), quality: 58 %, ,
Video : 1.57 GB, 1500 Kbps, 24.448 fps, 720*480 (4:3), WMV3 = Windows
Media Video 9, Supported
Audio : 68 MB, 64 Kbps, 48000 Hz, 2 channels, 0x161 = Windows Media
Audio 9.1, , , Supported

I have the wmv plug-in installed, it shows the progress bar, but when it's done, the screen is black with white text written "Missing Codec".

Any ideas as to solve this?
thank you

Try install WMV VCM.

edit: or it's probably just to save as wmv. See post below instead.

Install ffdshow and under VFW configuration, choose WMV9 for WMV1/7, WMV2/8, WMV3/9 and VC-1. Also install the DivX 3.11 codec since Virtualdub lists WMV1 audio as DivX audio.
