You need a VFW version of Xvid installed. If I remember correctly, CCCP (and probably a number of other codec packs) use ffdshow, so all you need to do is see if you have a folder for ffdshow somewhere in your Start Menu, then call up the 'VFW configuration' option, and enable Xvid decoding (go to Codecs, and set Xvid to be decoded using libavcodec, since you don't seem to have the Xvid codec itself installed.)

Edit: I'd actually recommend installing the regular Xvid codec over using ffdshow to decode Xvid (just follow the automatic link above), but I can't be sure if that would clash with any of the codec packs you've installed. Also, are you sure you want to be using an older version of VirtualDub? The latest versions are 1.6.19 and 1.7.2 experimental.

Edit #2: I'm confused - in your other post, you say you're using VirtualDub 1.7.2, but here, you say 1.4c.

Or get rid of the codec packs and install the correct codecs.

Try using AVI Fourcc Code Changer and make sure the fourcc codes are "xvid" (all lower case) on the top, "XVID" (all upper case) on the bottom

This guide uses older versions of Virtualdub, GSpot and Goldwave.

If you don't have Goldwave, you can skip step 5 through step 8 and just reinsert the uncompressed wave back into Virtualdub. This will work on most VBR files but Goldwave may have to be used on some.

You can also use a program called Avidemux that will rewrite the header and timecode of the damaged AVI and will fix most VBR files. There will be some files that it won't fix and you'll need to fix manually the Virtualdub way.

Another thing that usually works is to use VirtualDubMod instead of VirtualDub. When VirtualDubMod opens the file it will ask if you want to rewrite the header -- answer NO. Then use full processing mode on the audio and recompress to CBR MP3 or whatever other codec you want.

Lets look at this from another angle..

I open virtualdubmod > open mpg

Streams >stream list >rt click on stream >full processing mode > rt click again on that stream > compression ...

This is the root of the problem ( i think). I am unable to get any newly installed codecs to show up in this window. I have lame installed and a few others. They are not here tho....

There is one called MPEG Layer-3, when i check the "show all formats" box , nothing is displayed in the window.

I read that using 32 bit codecs in a 64 bit os wont work. Is this the problem>?>

Please help...

[j6044]

please delete the above ( and this one). I replied to wrong post..

sorry
