what format are your video files in?
and what codec are they encoded with?

Look no further.

Here's how you do it:

1: open the MKV/OGM in virtualdubmod,
2: go to the "streams" tab, deactivate all audio,
3: then go to the "video" tab and select "Direct Stream Copy"
4: now File>Save As... and save as an AVI.

You'll have the video with no audio in AVI. If the file doesn't open in VDM, load it through a directshowsource AVS with the killaudio() command.

IF IT STILL DOESN'T WORK, you need to convert to lossless:
1: Download HuffYUV.
2: Open VirtualDubMod again, deactivate the audio, but this time select "Fast Recompress" on the video tab.
3: Video>Compression, select HuffYUV.
4: File>Save As...

Done. You have a huge lossless AVI file. If it's too big, then save clips rather than entire episodes.

I can't seem to import video either, even though the files are avi. I also can't import audio, even though it's an mp3 file. I'm probably doing something terribly stupid, but every time I try I get an error message telling me that there's something wrong with the file, but it does it with every file I try to use, no matter if it's audio or video. Any suggestions?

If your avis are compressed with codecs like xvid ofr divx the program probally wont accept them. Also its best to use .wav files instead of mp3s

OOOH!! I see!!!

OK, is there some way to re-save or change the format of the music so that I can use it? And what about the avi files? Can I save them as a differerent format or something to get them to work?

You can use this program to convert your mp3 files.

There are other audio converters but i can't think of them right now.

Your avi files can be converted to a different codec in Virtualdub or Virtualdub Mod
