Changing Codecs

Okay. So the problem with some of my AVI raws is the fact that they are in Divx codec and thus crashing Adobe. I need to convert them to Huffyuv. Is there a simple way to do this? Can VirtualDub be used for this or something?

Okay, well, I tried this an the problem is that the footage now lags terribly. I don't know why?

If it lags on playback, it's normal. It will be just fine when editing.

It is supposed to be an editing codec and not a playback one.

Also, is there any easy way to convert an mp4 video to an AVI?

Really? Even if playback lags in Adobe too? The end result will come out okay?

That depends on your system specs.

Breaking it into clips and saving it through Adobe seems to clear up the lag. Awesomesauce.
