what I meant is that ffdshow has a list of options.
some of these options can make ffdshow try to decode files, like divx for example.
if you also have the divx codec this can cause problems.

since ffdshow can be useful for other filetypes (like h.264) it would be nice to make ffdshow only decode the file types that you want it to. This can be done through ffdshow's video decoder configuration

Now I get it so you mean ffdshow can decode some filetypes right? ok! this....... I get it

and though I have a lot of decoder here is the list:

CCCP
FFDShow
3ivx
Mtrska Haali
x264
Lagarith
Avisynth
Huffyuv
DivX
Xvid
Ogg/dscaler

so some of this must be removed but in what program

I use Vdub/MOD and WMM for my editing

though I remove ffdshow and CCCP in my WMM the clips encoded in huffyuv and read this so as I understand one of my codec is working but when I put back again the ffdshow and try to open my source clip in vdubmod I'm getting again an error that say the same thing

so I have to install again the CCCP and now it's start to work but my WMM can play the encoded huffyuv clips in the timelime even it's only 2 or 3 mins max.

And I don't how to config the ffdshow.... so what do you think? did I add or I need to remove some of decoder I have?

byw.... my source files is MP4 and two of my file can not open the decoder I mention above (@_@ I know it's off the topic but just to let you know why I have those codec in my L.P.)

You're using a lotta words I don't know. Went to this FFShow thing you linked me, all it seems to have for download are MPEG decoders. It's AVIs that are giving me trouble.

can you do something for me Pinky?

right click on the avi file and choose "properties"

then choose the "summary" tab

and tell me what it says next to "Video Compression"

and if that fails to tell you what codec is used, get gspot (click on pic in sig)

OK...

It doesn't say Video Compression - It has three headings with things under it - Image, Audio, and Video. Under Video it says:

Frame rate: 15frames/sec
Data rate: 37 kbps

thats odd...

it should be there under Video O.o

if anything get Virtualdub Mod and convert them to huffyuv, or another codec that is more compatable with your editor

but beware huffyuv makes large files... so you might want to clip them down to scenes, and remove the audio..

either way... good luck, and this is pointed out in the stickie at the top.

have you tried this solution yet?

you can get the programs you need in the AMVAPP

id recommend installing the app... (everything but FFDshowthingy, the one in the app is pretty buggy, and the Premeire plug ins, as youre not using premeire... you can easily uncheck them in the instalation process...)
