Well recently, I upgraded to the newest version of ffdshow (version October 12, 2004). All of my video files play in Media Player Classic but when I try to open them up in VdubMOD, it says the decompressor can't be found and that VFW is needed to view the video in Vdub. The only video formats I have are DX50 and XviD.

I went in ffdshow and disabled XviD there. Then I went in the VFW configuration menu and enabled XviD. But still, it won't work in Vdub. I did all sorts of combinations by enabling/disabling here and there but it still won't work. Help anyone? :( Again, it plays in everything else except Vdub or VdubMOD. I was using a May 2004 version before this and that one worked. I forgot how I set it up though. :scared:

Let me guess, ffdshow doesn't show up in VDub's codec list? You need to edit the ffds vidc entry in your registry.

I'm not sure how to do that but nevermind, I downloaded the September 28, 2004 version and it works now. They should fix that bug in the October 12 version. :rolleyes:
