[SOLVED] Need help adding ancient Duck Truemotion S

[Oldcodecs]

This is what the install folder contains:

DK4BIT.ACM
DKAVIFIX.EXE
INSTALL.EXE
DUCK.INI
DUCK.HLP
DUCK.DRV
CODUCK.DLL

after running the installer it creates a dir in c:\DUCK containing:
DK4BIT.ACM
DUCK.HLP
DUCK.INI

I'm running Windows 98

Nothing appears under external encoders in Virtualdub and i'm clueless as what to do, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Edit @ topic, it's a Encoder, not a Codec.

I am no expert, so this is my wild guess...

that encoder is a 16-bit application, and VirtualDub expects 32-bit DLLs

Googling for "Duck Truemotion S" leads to various places, except a download page,
so if you could share the archive/installer, so that other forum members could test it...

For '90s era codecs, you should use a 90's era NLE with a 90's era OS. Then export to something like an uncompressed AVI as an intermediate (may need to be segmented due to filesize restrictions). Then open THAT in Vdub normally.

Are you sure of that

Have you already looked at "Video → Compression..."

Yup it appears now in the menu, I must have been very tired last time I checked, this thread can now be considered solved, thanks.
