hi there, I've read the thread at the top of the page about codecs and I'm still stumped. I've got an .avi which I want to convert with Cinema Craft Encoder. When I try to load it I get a message "could not find appropriate codec for XVID" AVIcodec tells me I've got XVid MPEG 4 codec installed as I've installed XVID 1.0.2 and NIMO50Build9beta and also FFDShow, however GSpot tells me that I dont have the correct codecs installed for video. audio is ok. please help as I cant load this into TMPGEnc either and I suspect it's the same problem.
