View Full Version : AviSynth reports missing codecs

Sorry if this doesn't belong here. Move it if necessary.

I just upgraded and rebuilt my system and believe I have reinstalled everything. However, AviSynth now reports that it cannot find a decompressor for several clips that used to open fine.

The missing codecs are:
div3
div4
MSVC
MP43

I have installed XviD and DivX3.11. I thought XviD would decode any/all mpeg4 video. What am I doing wrong? It seems to me there used to be a ffwSomething that would decode oddball formats. I can't remember what it is so I can't install it.

Thanks, I feel like a dummy.

The name you're searching is FFDShow : http://mitglied.lycos.de/ieggei2/ffdshow/I have installed XviD and DivX3.11Are you sure for DivX3.11 ? You can check with VirtualDub whether it is installed or not ( in the list, you should see DivX ;-) MPEG-4 low & fast motion )

If you still can't open the clips, after installing FFDShow, use DirectShowSource instead of AVISource.

ahhhh. DivX3.11a was installed, but not registered. Once I registered it, DIV3 and MP43 became decodeable. sweet. Thanks
