1. Some AVI files can't be read or split, why?
The most common reason is that the proper codec can't be detected or install properly.
First, to see which avi codec your avi file is using?
Q: How can I know what codec an AVI file is using?
A: right-click the AVI file in Widnows Explorer, and then click Properties item in the popup menu. please select the Summary tab in the popup dialog, and you can get all information you need.
If it is DivX Codec, Please do as follows:
1. Download it DivX Codec from http://www.divx.com/
2. Install it.
3. Uninstall it
4. Re-Install it, Now your DivX codec is ok.
If it is Xvid codec, do as follow:
Koepie XviD Builds: http://www.roeder.goe.net/~koepi/
FFDShow Downlaod Page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow
Here's what I suggest you do in steps.
1. Install Koepi's latest Unstable XviD build, which includes a relatively bug-free plain vanilla decoder
2. Whether you got XviD playback working or not (I normally would say, when you got it working already, but you are a different case), install the latest FFDShow . Configure it to play XviD contents and nothing else.
If you avi is from DV, you can use the codec:
Panasonic DV Codec http://users.tpg.com.au/mtam/install_panvfwdv.htm
or
Mainconcept DV Codec http://www.mainconcept.com/codecs.shtml
If after installed above codec, still can not work. Download and install the
codec pack from:
http://www.free-codecs.com/K_Lite_Codec_Pack_download.htm
