Trouble converting to AVI and or codec trouble.
« on: February 07, 2007, 06:16:22 PM »
I have a film that I wanted to do some voice over stuff with.  I first tried to add voice in the film viewer.  I quickly realized that the film freezes every time the "T" button is pushed :( .   Film viewer directions say that this is normal?  I dont understand why?

So I did a quick web search and found a program called "dubit" that can do voice over an AVI file.  I read the AH viewer directions for converting to AVI.  A couple of problems followed......

First I want to run the film a touch slower than normal speed.  If I changed film speed it wouldnt convert to AVI.  Then I said to heck with it and ran it at normal speed.  It did make a file.  I didnt use a codec to compress it.  Film viewer says not to if film is to be modified in AVI format.  First I tried to open it with dubit and it says "Unable to open .avi 800" then it says ".avi does not contain a video stream".  

Then I tried media player and it says "cannot find codecs"  So I found a AVI codec pack and installed it.  No good.

Any ideas?

Thx.... Dave
