then, don't use codec's with your editor -- it can't handle them!

... Kindly do the opposite of the Talking Heads and <i>start</i> making sense.

What is this about "not using codecs"? You kind of have to use a codec in order to do any video processing more complicated than a simple "direct stream copy", because you have to <i>1decode the video</i> in order to process it.

And stop using apostrophes to make plurals. It is never correct for normal words.

See above comment about making sense. What the hell do you mean by "container type files"? Every* video file uses some sort of container, be that AVI, MOV, WMV, MPG...

* Setting aside for the moment raw data without file headers, but does anyone ever actually use that?

Sense everybody on this web sight but BasharOfTheAges already know this, a ranting tangent is all anybody can actually do at this point! SSJNaruto245 should have read the fine-print on the box the software can in.

So, if that's true, then how do you explain why DivX-encoded clips sometimes work perfectly fine in Vegas (and other NLEs)?

This is ridiculous.

Usage of the Video for Windows API has never required developers to pay royalties. Windows Media components require licensing, but that is a completely different issue.

Having shown your premise wrong, it's not necessary to address the rest of your post.


Now, here's a suggestion:

Do some real research or shut up. You, like MSNBC's Hardball, loudly spew so much incorrect inanity with just enough buzzwords to make it sound superficially plausible. You are doing a tremendous disservice to everyone here looking for help and everyone trying to help out.

To the original poster: Infinity Squared and BasharOfTheAges have good recommendations. Another thing to try is Avisynth and its DirectShowSource / AVISource filters. These will not only allow you to open the file in (say) VirtualDub, but also facilitate clipping out sections for export to uncompressed video.
This is a block of text that can be added to posts you make. There is a 512 character limit.

god...this is out of control. You guys didn't help one bit!=\ sorry to say. All I wanted was someone who actually uses AviC FourCC to help me, instead I get complex replies and stuff. God, well I appreciate you guys 'attempting' to actually help me, but it wasn't any. Shinodude helped me with my problem so that's it. :o
Let this ranting end please...

Setting aside for the moment the fact that you never mentioned AviC FourCC in your original post(s), we figured that it was more useful to let you know why <I>changing the FourCC wasn't going to solve your problem</i> and what you should have been doing instead to fix it.

But at any rate, good to hear that the problem got solved.

Drop the file in AviC Four CC changer, make both drop boxes to DIVX.

If it still doesnt work, then the only possibility is to convert those files to a lossless codec.
