Hello everybody,
Does anyone use DVD2SVCD to convert DV-avi to SVCD's? I heared you must install a DV codec, tried it, but still DVD2SVCS doesn't recognize DV-avi (error 'couldn't find an appropriate decompressor' at the start of the conversion).
Regards,
Rob

Have you tried changing the "FourCC" code on the .avi to correspond to the codec? I use the Canopus codec with the 'cdvc' designation.
You also need a "Type 2" DV .avi file to be successful. I sometimes find that I must extract the audio manually with virtualdub as DVD2SVCD sometimes has an issue with some of my files.
