i have some avi files that i am trying to convert to dvd format. all of them converted with very little problem with winavi except for the ones that are in two parts. so i decided to try the virtualdubs (dub, mpeg-2, mp3-freeze) and they all say they can't find the audiodecompressor so i searched and found that i need to install ffdshow. so i did.
that is where it all breaks down for me. ffdshow appears to have installed without any problems but i don't have a clue what to do now because all the instructions say is, "install ffdshow".
but all the virtualdubs still say they can't find the audiodecompressor and all of the searching and googling i do just get me more and more confused including the posts that tell me to read other forum threads (which just explain what it does, now how to make it do what it does) or to read the readmefile that came with ffdshow (no read me or text or documents of any kind were included in the download of ffdshow)
i can't find a gui or anything that would let me make adjustments to anything, just a program file folder "ffdshow" on my C drive with 2 applications: makeavis.exe and uninstall.exe
i have tried entering the search "how do you use ffdshow?" but i can not find any instructions (just information on what ffdshow does) or else i am not recognizing them when i see them, just instructions for various problems people are having that aren't remotely related to the simple question, how is this used?
or at least, how do i make the virtualdubs recognize that ffdshow has all it needs?
