I have the XVID codecs and AC3 audio codecs according to Gspot, picture 1. VirtualDub disagrees, picture 2. AVI Joiner also disagrees, picture 3. Any ideas? Who do I trust?
Some applications use Directshow codecs some use VFW codecs. VirtualDub can only see VFW codecs. FFDSHOW has a separate setup for VFW codecs. Turning on the XviD codec: 'Start' => 'FFDSHOW' => 'VFW Configuration' will allow VirtualDub to see it. In VirtualDub, under the menu selection 'Video' => 'Compression', it lists the codecs it can access.Once the codec is turned on for VFW, it should be on this list. http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/ffdshow_install_configure.cfm As a side note, I would be joining AVI files with 'AviDemux' instead of VirtualDub - it's more flexible when it comes to appending files.
