MPEG Video Wizard problem

[striker9]

I've read (I think it was even on this forum) that I could use WVW to fix out of sync files, so I downloaded it the other day to try it out.

But when I open my avi file to the program, it gives me an error that "DivX(tm) MPEG-4" codec, and that the editor cannot find it's codec on my system..
I usually use VLC player, so I downloaded FFDshow off DivX.com, 'cause it had all the codecs I needed...

but after installing it, WVW still couldn't find the codecs needed..

Is there a way to fix this? in that case..how?

Isn't it an MPEG editor only ?

[striker9]

it says it supports avi as well..=\

[Baldrick]

install the divx codec.

but mpeg video wizard is mainly for mpeg editing...not for fixing divx syncing...or what are you doing? converting to dvd?? or?

I stand corrected.

3. Can I import AVI files into MPEG Video Wizard?


Yes, you can.
In order to import an AVI file, the editor will need the help of an installed video/audio codec. Currently, the editor only recognizes VFW (Video For Window) drivers.

Please also note that AVI is just a file name and like a big box which can contain different things --- compressed or uncompressed video and audio.

Who would've thought their FAQ would hold the answers, eh ?

I want to fix an out of sync avi file.. a movie.. I've read that the program can be used for fixing out of sync mpeg's, so I though why not try..=P
