I have dl'd, and it appears to be working... I am now re-importing all my files. YAY!!! Thank you! Where have you been all my life? How did you know that would fix it?

I am concerned however, just before I ran it, it had a mysterious error message saying this prog hadn't been tested or something and might cause problems later, so I made a system restore point.

Now I can finally start my new amv!!! ::cries::

Now, whenever I try to *use* those avis, WMM suddenly encounters a problem and needs to close!!!

Because you posted the VDub error message that said it couldn't find a VFW decompressor for the FourCC "DIV3", which corresponds to the DivX 3.11 Alpha codec.

As for WMM failing to open them, I hope Sailor Earth doesn't mind me using a bit of her bandwidth here...

But if you have ffdshow installed, you might find it useful to make sure that it's set to NOT decode DivX 3 content.

Um, okay. Man I'm so close now - what do I do now?

I just don't get it. It's been working perfectly fine til the begining of this year, and now it's going kerplooey. Why is it so hard to get back what I had before? Should I just upgrade to a better prog? What do you recommend for free? Do I follow Kariudo's plan next?

no, now that you have the proper codec, you should be able to re-encode your footage with vdubmod

You're right. The file will play now, both audio and video. Now to figure out what to do next. I use Vdub to make a... huffyuv? And I import that into WMM? ::looks for button:: Okay, the change button is pressable now...

Alrighty, I think I have it doing... something. So... it's gonna re-encode my file as a.. another avi file? And I have to do this with *every* file???

Woah. I try to X out, and a whole bunch of numbers come up-
