When trying to use Virtual Dub to open an .avi file (really .d2v but passed thru the VFAPI converter), it wont open the file and i get the error message "Couldn't locate Decommpressor for format 'vifp' (unknown)". Does anyone know why this is? It's getting very frustrating! Have i installed it in the right place? Does it matter where it's installed? Is it just that i need to obtain a codec from somewhere? I really would appreciate some help from anyone out there! Thanks, n_style
