Loading AVI files in VirtualDub

[JacquesN]

When I try to load my (previously captured, or saved in Premiere) AVI's in VirtualDub, it refuses with the message:

"Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'DVSD' (unknown). VirtualDub requieres a Video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. DirectShow codecs, such as those used by Windows Media Player, are not suitable."

So what do I do, install some codecs, or convert the AVI's to some other codec? I could do this with Premiere, but frame by frame, sloooooow!

Also, does using a VFW codec mean that I have a 2GB file size limit? My AVI's are > 4GB.

Are your Nimo Lite Codecs installed?

Before you do anything, locate a small free program called Canopus DV File Converter. This converts losslessy between various DV formats. One will almost certainly load into Virtualdub. 8)

Done so as you suggested, makes no difference.

Then do as I suggested!
