AVI Codecs

[Guest]

I have use Moviemaker to import and edit a specific avi video before, and now
i get an error message that says the codec cannot be found. Anyone know where
to find this codec? AVI files are supposed to be supported, i cant figure
this out! Please help!

avi is a wrapper, containing many forms of video file, you need to find
which one yours is and then locate the codec for it.

How do you go about determining which format you have wrapped up in .avi?

This tool is what you require, it identifies the codec
(COmpression/DECompression)
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/GSpot.htm

Once you have used the GSpot tool to identify the codec used, you can
download
required codecs from same site.
