AVI Help Follow Up

Thanks to all those who helped in the first topic, but things are still grim. Using AVI Codec I found out why I couldn't play the Seinfeld/AVI files, so I got DivX 3.11 Alpha, installed it, and it still doesn't work. And all my video converters won't let me convert the .AVI files to something different. Please, PLEASE, help me!

 

This should end your codec woes. http://www.free-codecs.com/download/ACE_Mega_CoDecS_Pack.htm

Now, before you download this codec pack you should know a few things. This is a very big file, 44 mbs. If you have a dial-up connection it will take you forever to download. Be aware that this download is a budle-package of not just codecs but programs that use codecs and change & enhance video. This download can be very invasive to your computer. I noticed that after I installed it that a few things would load upon booting my computer. They would show up in my taskbar. I had to manually disable them. Not a major problem, just an annoyance. A few things showed up in my control panel also. You don't need to worry about them or get rid of them. I just thought I'd give you the heads-up first. After you download it you should scan the download for viruses. You can never be too careful.

This is the Mother of all codec downloads, so, if you still have problems with your .avi files after this... I don't know what to suggest.

Enjoy.

 

Have you identified the CoDec?
If not look at G Spot http://www.headbands.com/gspot/
Once you have the codec and can view the files, then you can convert.
A good place with a lot of guides for video topics is www.vcdhelp.com

Hope that helps.

 

I just read your other post about your codec problem and would like to suggest VirtualDub for your video converting needs. It is a freeware program. It will come in a zip folder. All you have to do is unzip it to a location of your choice. Once unzipped it's ready to use. You don't have to install the program.
