You need to have XviD installed or something else that can handle the fourCC via VfW. I would be worried about the PCM audio though and the runtime. Looks like it could be a fake file to me.
Im sorry Im kinda clueless on all this avi stuff but I have installed xvid codec but what is the VfW?
VfW = Video for Windows. It is the interface that VDub uses for video. If XviD was properly installed you would not get the error. In Vdub does XviD show up on the compression list? If not then it isn't installed properly.
I look and I dont see xvid in the compression list. Well I unistalled and intstalled agian but it still doesn't show up.
Most common reason for VfW codecs not installing is a corrupt vidc entry in the registry. Are you using Koepi's installer though? Because as I recall it checks and removes such entries.
Yeah I used the koepi instatller, but it weird I have onther xvid movie and it plays fine. guess you were right it must be a bogus file.
