Problem with VirtualDub loading DV AVI file

[harmsway1976]

I recorded a short clip via firewire directly from my camcorder with WinDV and when I tried loading the clip in VirtualDub I get the following error message. Anyone know what's going on?

That's beause it is DV1, Virtualdub wants DV2 only. Convert to DV2 and it will work.

probably sound dumb saying this, but i don't know what you mean.

i got it solved. thanks. i had the codec already downloaded and forgot about it. i had to reformat my pc recently, so i'm still working on getting everything set back straight.

If you try to put AVI 1 files (DV 1) into Virtualdub they will fail. Look in help or tutorials, this is basic stuff.

Not true. VirtualDub can handle type-1 DV files, it just can't get the audio out of them.

No audio is a problem in many cases.

i have heard type 1 and type 2. i just hadn't heard them called dv1 and dv2 before. now i know and there's no confusion. and i was capturing type 2 in the fisrt place.
