  1. Hello,

    I downloaded a flv file from YouTube, then converted it to avi using ffmpeg windows binary. The resulting file doesn't show any video in mplayer2 but is fine when using VLC player.

    Now I want to edit this avi, so I opened it in VirtualDub and get this error as shown in the attached image.

    Can anyone kindly help?

    ffdshow video encoder configuration > Decoder > Codecs > Other MPEG4



    Or change FourCC (to DIVX or XVID) - AVI FourCC Code Changer or Nic's FourCC Changer (with Xvid codec).

    Or use Ask for extended options after this dialog when open file in VirtualDub and option Force video format FOURCC code to.

    How you used FFmpeg (syntax)?

    Next time try differently (simple example):
    Code:
    ffmpeg -i name_file.flv -vcodec libxvid -sameq -acodec copy name_file.avi
    (libxvid or in older FFmpeg just xvid)
