I'm having a few problems encoding an AVI file that I would like to use as a source for an AMV. When I try importing it into Vdub as an AVI file, that doesn't work because it can't decode frame 0 or something along those lines. Same when try to make an AVS script using the line AVIsource...
Heres some quick specs on the file.
Width 1280
Height 720
Frame Rate 119 frames/second (no thats not a typo, this is why I think Im having problems)
Video Compression: XFcodec(some codec I've NEVER heard of however a google search reveals this is the codec that installs when you get the new Xfire video thing )*shrug*
Any thoughts on this would be very much appreciated, as I'd like to recompress this as a lossless file to edit with.
XF codec?

Quick note: this may not work, I'm just throwing this out there.
From a cursory Google search, I think it's just a normal MPEG-4 (dunno if it's ASP or H.264) file with a strange FourCC code*. Therefore, see if you can change the FourCC to something recognizable, like MP4V or XVID or DX50, and see if ffdshow plays it in WMP. If it can, then you can enable those same codecs under its VFW configuration and open the file in VDub.
*Actually the references were to an XF mode, which was a quality/resolution/length setting - all the discussion centered around MPEG-4, though, so hence the wonky ID code idea.
To change FourCCs, you can use Nic's FourCC changer. It comes with Koepi's XviD builds, and you can find it in XviD's program directory (i.e. Start->Programs->XviD->Nic's FourCC Changer). Just load the AVI in there and it'll display what the IDs are - you need to change both of the entries just to be safe.
