What is the best program for raw AVI?

[cnuke]

I have a new dazzle card and they claim that the only way to capture video off of my DV camera is Raw AVI. Once I have it off thier program sucks to convert it to MPEG and I can not get it to convert to compressed AVI.

If someone can tell me which program and version I can convert it to MPEG1 or DIVX I would be so happy.

Once I know the program I will do the research and get it working.

Thanks for all of your help!

For conversion to divx use VirtualDub (http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downloads/virtualdub.html).
For mpeg-1 use TMPGenc (http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downloads/tmpgenc.html)

I will try this, but I have used VirtualDub. When I do it stated the the format is unrecognized. I can play it in media player, but a 45 min file is 10 gb.


I will let you know and thanks

It's probably DV type-1. You can open it in VirtualDub using AviSynth and its DirectShowSource command.

For the Audio extract a WAV file using your Dazzle software. You can mux and compress it later in VirtualDub.
