    This is the message I get in VirtualDub:

    Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'mp43' (Microsoft High-Speed MPEG-4 V3)

    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.

    I have downloaded Nimo Codec Pack, and loads of other things that people have suggested and some things I found on Kazaa but nothing has worked. Am I suppose to stick them in a different directory?

    Has anyone any other ideas? I take people download avi files from Kazaa, am I the only one with a problem.

    Hey, I have the same problem too. I get that error message when I try to play an AVI file with Vdub.

    Where can I get the VFW Codec?
