Hey I like this tutorial but I got a problem. When I want to open a file in the VirtualDubMod i get this message:

[!] Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'XVID' (unknown).
VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec to
decompress video. DirectShow codecs, such as those used by Windows Media
Player, are not suitable. Only 'Direct stream copy' is available for this
video.

Somebody who can help???

I think that means you don't have the Xvid codec installed.

Do you know where I can get it??

I'm sorry but I'm new in this stuff

that is the source code...which doesn't do you a lot of good unless you know how to compile it (and have a compiler)

xvid executable

*I made the same mistake too...stupid source code

From my little experience there are two ways.If they are wrong,experienced people,please share your knowledge even though we're are pushing your patience to the limit.

Anyway,either insert in a separate video track a white/black image and synch it with the point of the vid you want to flash.Don't forget,limit the duration of the image to minimum.Basically,that's what a person above said...correct me if I am wrong

As for other way,yesterday,I tried using a very quick soft flash transition to make a flash and it worked.

Hey Ladymercury,

Your tut really helped me with Vegas AMV basics. Do you think you could teach us about the "create your own efects" feature? If you know what I mean...
