After moving to new system -Codec?

[john510]

I recently moved to a new computer and now when I try to open some video files by using Virtual Dub, I get this message, :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] 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. Only 'Direct stream copy' is available for this
video.
------------------------------------------------------------------------


Anyone know what I need to download to get this working again?

thanks

Anyone else have a idea what I can do to make Virtual Dub read this , is there a codec I need to install again???

Here's one: http://movavi.com/codec/mp43.html or you can go to MicroSoft and get one there.

EDIT: Seems to work. New codecs show up in VD. I don't have any MP43 video to try it.
