captured by Miro but format unsupported???

[ronbruce]

I have read lots here but cant get started!

I have lots of video clips captured from television with a Miro DC 30+ card and saved on my hard drive.

When I try to open them in TMPGenc I get "cannot open- file unsupported"

When I look at the Properties/Details of these .AVI files I see
Video Format: 384 x 288 , 25FPS, 585kb/sec, UNKNOWN FORMAT!

I have read lots on this site but cannot see any reference to this problem ( yet it is probly really common)
I have downloaded: VirtualDub and Nimo Lite .

I have these codecs: in Multimedia /devices/Video/
Indeo V 3.3
Indeo V5.06
Indeo V4.4
Indeo RAW YVU9
MS Video 1
MS YUVY
MS YUV2
MS YUVU
VDO net VDO wave

I see that on System.ini there are things like:
MS ACM DIVxA 32 Plus others

Whats happening here , what am I doing wrong
These movie clips play perfectly om MS Media Player 6.4

-> MJPEG

Install Pic Video MJPEG codec or Morgan MJPEG codec (both are shareware). There might be a free version floating around and maybe on the Nimo pack (check it to make sure).

Please explain MJPEG

MIRO's use MJPEG for compression. MIRO's come with a hardware MJPEG codec chip. TMPGenc requires a software MJPEG codec to encode the .avi files into .mpg.

MJPEG is the type of compression used.
