I'm about ready to pull my hair out here, so I need some help
I just ripped and converted a series of DVD .vob files using Avisynth to open the .vob files in VirtualDub so I could convert the MPEG2s into .AVI format. I used Intel Indeo 4.3 as the compression Codec while saving. To make sure the process worked, I opened my first few small AVI files in Win Media Player and they looked and played great, no problems, so I proceeded, over the course of this weekend to convert nearly 5 hours of DVD footage to AVI format, still using the Indeo codec.
However, just this evening I decided to try and open one of these AVI files up in Virtual Dub. However, the program would not read the files and instead I got a message stating:
"Error Decompressing video frame 0
A codec-specific error occurred
(error code 1)"
Curious, I tried to bring the footage into a couple different cheap little video editors I have on my computer (windows movie maker and Magix plus), but in both cases the footage comes out "black" as though there is no picture. However, I can still watch the footage in WinMedia, so there is obviously something wrong with the codec--I think--but I'm not savvy enough to know exactly what to do.
I'd just redo the footage, but I just spent a weekend creating these AVIs and I don''t want to just dump them. Though I fear that is what I am going to have to do.
Would a reinstallation of the Indeo Codec possibly fix this, and if so where can I get this codec for download?
Thanks for any help.
