Problems with WinAVI Video Conerter and Codecs for it

[NewJak]

Hey Forum, I did some looking around because I wanted a good video converter that can pretty much convert all formats to any format i needed. I decided to give WinAVI Video Converter a try and I downloaded the shareware for a trial. Now, Here is the problem...The program is telling Me I need A Real Media Codec (9 or higher) and a Windows Media Codec (9 or higher). I looked all over the internet and I can't seem to find these codecs. Can anyone tell Me where I could find them and If they are free or not? I appreciate any and all help since I'm a Newbie. Thanks Everyone

Load real media 10 & windos media 9/10 on your system and WinAVI will not ask you again.

Howdy-
Just a note...If you don't want to convert those formats just ignore the message; all the other formats will work ok without those particular codecs.
