As per the title, someone has sent me a DV file they captured many years ago to edit for them but I'm struggling to open it.
I can play it in MPC-HC but I can't open it for editing. If I drop the AVI into VirtualDub it says 'Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'CDVC'. Using AviSource in Avisynth gives a similar error, directshowsource says the file does not have a video stream, which it obviously does.Video

I have Cedocia installed and in the config it seems to suggest it should be able to open it, but no dice. Any thoughts? I found the ancient Canopus DV Codec but as expected since it's so old it doesn't do anything on W10.
I also found this tool - https://www.videohelp.com/software/Canopus-DV-File-Converter
But again since it's so old I didn't expect it to work, and it didn't. Well the program loaded, but it said 'the source file cannot be converted by this application'.
Try DVDFab Video Downloader and rip Netflix video! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!
