avi to wmv - getting error

[KarenDay]

I used avisynth and then virtual dub to create an AVI.

However when I go to convert it to WMV using Windows Media Converter I get the following error: "The input media format is invalid (0xCOODOBB8)"

I normally have no problems when I want to convert AVI to WMV. However this is the first time I have used an AVI I have created in VirtualDub. Has someone else experienced this problem and can offer a solution?

Thanks in advance!

Have you recently installed Service pack 2 ?

If you are using WinXP possibly try Windows Movie Maker ?

Hi,

sorry for the belated reply but my ToDo list grew and this got pushed to the bottom of the pile.

No I havent recently installed service pack 2 and Im not using winxp.

Any other ideas? Thanks for the help so far!

however Im not converting from mpg, im converting from avi.

This might make it clearer!

Was it a file you captured using virtualdub ?

Normally if I have any issues with AVIs, I just run them through virtualdub on Direct Stream Copy for both audio and video and so that it basically just rewrites the headers.
