I'm I missing a codec?

I have certain asf files that VirtualDub 1.3 tries to open, but I get this error message "couldn't locate decompressor for format 'WMV1(unknown)"I've loaded all the codecs that I found under tools on this site...what am I missing here? Thanks.

Go to the tools section and get Gspot.

i have the same problem....

i got this error in virtualdub
"couldnt locate decompressor for format IV41(indeo video 4.1)
v-dub requires a video for windows(VFW) compatable codec
to decompress video. directshow codecssuch as those used by
windows media player are not suitable."

and i got gspot in the k-lite codec pack.... ran a few vid files and all those were ok... put in the one that gave me the error in v-dub and i dont understand what the results mean....

help plz

Gspot isn't a codec it's a program that anylizes your video file to determine what codecs you need to play it. Run gspot, load your video file, and see (tell us) what codecs it says you need.

(for both video and audio).

ok using Gspot on 2 video files i have i got this...

1. not a valid avi file
video format : 4CC - n.a.
name n.a.
direct show renderer
non-avi file
type unknown
file rendered successfully
source: media subtype_avi
video media: dcc IV41
video codec: indeo video 4.3


2. file length correct
video format : 4CC: IV41
name: indeo interactive
direct show renderer
source :mediasubtype_avi
4CC: IV41
video codec: indeo video 4.3


pretty much the same exact things huh? so im wondering whats wrong with the first file??
also, both files do not play with the most recent DivX player.... strange thing tho, video 1 causes Windows Media player to crash, while video 2 will play normally in windows media player...
so what do you all suggest? if you need more info, tell me what i need to post THANX !!!!

Virtual Dub 1.4 won't open ASF files.

Version 1.3 will with an add on file that is linked to from the Tools Edit/join/cut section of this site.
