I have a Russian movie "Kin-Dza-Dza" on a DivX CD. I want to convert it to a VCD (or even DVD?) so I can play it in my DVD player. Problem is, I drag the movie file onto my hard drive, but it is a ".vid" extension & doesn't seem to be able to open in TMPGEnc or Virtual Dub!? The video file uses a "COL1" codec, if that means ANYTHING??? Can anyone please help me?
Thanks for your reply! YEP I've already done that. AviCodec tells me this: VIDEO: avi file with ".vid" extension, COL1 AUDIO: Voxware MetaSound What is "COL1"? When I try to open the file in Virtual Dub, I get this: "can't locate compressor for format 'COL1' (unknown)". Any suggestions, anybody???
OK I worked it out (should've done my homework first I guess!). For posterity's sake, this is what I did: 1) Opened TMPGEnc 2) Clicked on Options/Enviro Settings/VFAPI Plug-In 3) Right-clicked DirectShow Multimedia File Reader & increased priority to 2! Now TMPGEnc accepts my looney ".vid" file and I can convert to VCD/SVCD/DVD whatever! YEEE-HAR!
