Video-creation problems.

Ho ho ho, Codexia.

Problem: DosBox successfully records avi-file of my adventures in retro gaming. I can view the clip in MediaPlayerClassic, VLC player or even Windows Media Player with zero problems. But when I import the clip into either Windows Movie Maker or Windows Live Movie Maker (WTF MS anyway?!), they both think it's an audio file.

I tried 2 shareware video editors, first one crashed when it tried to import the clip, second one gave an general "codec not found"-error and crashed. Awesome stuff.

So I googled up and found "Windows Essential Codec Pack" which people were raving at Microsoft Answers, how it solved their problems. Didn't solve mine.

Now, I'm pretty sure someone at Codex has made videos from DosBox and might have solved this problem. PLZ HALP!

Try Sony Vegas Pro.

Probably overkill to just merge few 320x200 videoclips with an .mp3 but what the hell, let's try.

Does this mean someone from the codex is actually doing a LP thats not all boring text?

Try avidemux.

Fuck you Sony for requiring me to register a TRIAL-version of your shitty software before trying it out. And it didn't work either -> .avi is still recognized as audio only. AND the fuckers had no uninstaller-shortcut, thanks a lot for forcing me to go to Control Panel. Oh well, uninstalled a lot of other shit while I was there so I guess it was a good thing in the end. Probably installed a rootkit or something on my HD while it was there.

Avidemux is much smaller and simpler, too bad it has the problem.

I'm thinking it's not a problem with the programs but rather with the video codecs, though I cannot understand how players can show the clips just fine but editors only recognize the audio.

Solved and I'm an idiot.

So what was the problem then? And you know, I kind of expected you to pirate SVP and not go straight for the trial version.
