Convert help (WMV -> AVI)

Well, I have to use Windows Movie Maker 2.1 for my AMV's, but the farthest I can get with AVI is about to saving it in the multi- GB form. After which, I opened the AMV in virtual dub, but it said it uses a windows codec that It cannot use. It gives an Avi option, but that one doesnt work either... So Im looking for a way to either save it as a different AVI, or find a way to change the codec. I wanted to know if any of you know a way around this? I really want to remove those subtitles... PLEASE HELP ME OUT.

Well, some/all Windows Media Codecs cannot be opened in VdubMOD due to some restriction on third party applications. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

What you can do is make a AVSscript

DirectShowSource("Clip")

And Vdub should be able to open the WMV file indirectly through AVS.

But the again, you can easily convert the WMV to avi by using eo-video converter.

The AMVapp is a collection of very useful applications that are used for video editing. AVIsynth is among the tools that it comes with. You can get it here:

You can download AVIsynth individually by going to http://www.avisynth.org/ , but I still recommend the AMVapp as it comes with other useful tools.

Learning AVIsynth:

And I highly recommend you read the guides as it is an excellent guide to All things about Video and Audio.

Or you could convert the WMV to AVI with STOIK Video Converter. It's pretty good for a freeware.

save as DV-AVi and convert the DV type to type2
or try using AMVfreak's method
which is a better method since you can do all sorts of manipulations before you actually encode the mofo
