I am trying to convert .avi file so that it can be used in Movie Maker
(otherwise clips don't work and I get error messages:

I used GSpot and found out that the .avi file is OpenDML AVI file.
The following codecs all claim to be capable of processing this format:

--> {DivX ;-) MPEG-4 Low-Motion}
{3ivx D4 Video Decoder}
{InterVideo MPEG4 Video Decoder}
{DivX MPEG-4 DVD Video Decompressor }

DirectShow is apparently able to play the file as well (see "DirectShow
Render", below),

The following codecs all claim to be capable of processing this format:

--> {Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec (professional)}
--> {Lame MP3 Encoder ACM Codec}
{ffdshow Audio Decoder}
--> {MPEG Layer-3 Decoder}

DirectShow was also able to find a codec to render it - the sound for this
media clip should work fine.

See the DirectShow Render details for more info.


More info (after rendering):

DirectShow claims to be able to play the file. The following combination
of filters were used:

{D:\My Shared Folder\L2\Labyrinth.avi} (Source)
{AVI Splitter} (Splitter)

{ffdshow MPEG-4 Video Decoder} (Video Decoder)
{DivXG400} (Video Post-processor)
{Video Renderer} (Video Renderer)

{ffdshow Audio Decoder} (Audio Decoder)
{Default DirectSound Device} (Audio Renderer)

I also got message that for video (codec div 3 DivX 3 Low-Motion [4
compatible codecs are installed]) and for audio (codec: 0x0055(MP3) ID'd as
MPEG-1 Layer 3 [4 compatible codecs are installed])

Please help.
Thanx for your time.
