Conversion of AVI captured with digital camera.

[micapet]

I have an AVI movie clip captured with a Fuji digital camera, and would really like to convert it to something a bit smaller. But when I try and open it in TMPGEnc, it says that the file is unsupported. Any ideas on why it is doing this? It plays fine in MP, so guess it can't be a missing codec?

If you get an error message when opening like file unsupported or can not open or is not supported
or you get an empty(black) video preview window
or the video look wierd in the video preview window like green or purple or pink
Try first to change the directshow codec reader priority settings in TMPGEnc under Option->Environmental settings->VFAPI plug-in and right click on the DirectShow Multimedia File Reader and increase the priority to 1 or 2 or to the top of plugin-list and try open the video.
If that does not help be sure that you have installed DivX or XviD or MPG2 or DV Codecs...
