Can't convert screen capture video (MSU SCLS codec)

[nonsey]

Hello!

I have recorded a screen capture video using MSU Screen Capture Lossless codec with Bulent's Screen Recorder.
It is 40 mins long, almost fullscreen (~1280*800), 8,77 FPS. It is almost 700MB's and after I added audio from wav source it is over 1,1GB.
I want to convert it to something smaller, but i can't. I tried SUPER, Avidemux, WinAVI converter, Dr. Divx and Bulent's built-in stuff too. None of them works. They either throw "unknown error" or freeze. I can play the file without problems in Media Player Classic though. I have K-lite installed.
Can anyone help me?

Try using VirtualDub

Do yourself a favor and get rid of the klite codec pack, it cause's more problems than it solves

Then reboot the system and work from there to resolve the problem.

VirtualDub can open the file finally. How to convert it?

Do you have any alternatives for Klite? Install the codecs seperately or what? I generally only watchh movies and klite was perfect for that so far.

If you generally only watch movies, use VLC or the KM Player. Both come with 99% of the codecs you will ever need, and don't pollute your system the way a codec pack does. On the rare occasion you do need an extra codec, install just that codec.

Now that you have the video open in Virtualdub, click on Video -> Compression and chose a codec, configure it, then click on File -> Save As and save your new video.

what compression do you advise?

[guns1inger]

What do you want to do with it ?

[nonsey]

make it a smaller, reasonable quality file. i want it to be viewable on pc. i thought divX should do the trick but it can't compress with the DivX codec (error code -2). i think sound should also be compressed from wav to mp3 to make it smaller. the codecs i have tried have a "Video Rendering Rate" up to 2FPS. Thats not too much i guess.

[guns1inger]

Audio compressed to mp3 @ 128 will be adequate for voice work.

For Divx you probably will have to resize to a multiple of 16 in both directions

If you can open it in AVI Demux you can use H264 (yes, you can do it under virtualdub as well, AVI Demux makes it simpler) and get even smaller files.

seems to be working now, but i have trouble with audio.
"No audio decompressor could be found to decompress the source audio format (source format tag:0003)"

I have the audio in a seperate file too. 128Kbs 44KHz mono wav.

In avidemux, audio=>main track=>audio source=> external wav

In virtualdub, audio=>audio from other file (you need a current version of vdub, 1.7.7 or greater, it's up to 1.8.0 now)

[nonsey]

avidemux never worked.

i have VD i can choose no audio, source audio or wav audio. i picked wav, set compression to mp3 and got the following error msg: "No audio decompressor could be found to decompress the source audio format (source format tag:0003)"

[poisondeathray]

Do you have lame acm installed?

Another method is to use besweet/belight or your audio encoder of choice to encode => mp3, then use avimux-gui to mux audio & video. Specify no audio when doing the video encoding in vdub.

[nonsey]

avimux worked, i could finally finish the vid.

thank you all for your help!
