Install codecs for VirtualDub
107,920
VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows (Vfw) compatible codec to decompress video.
DirectShow codecs such as those used by Windows Media Player, are not suitable.
This means that not all the codecs installed on your computer can be used by VirtualDub.
A very good codecs package that has VFW is ffdshow.
Just ensure you enable all your format decoders under VFW Configuration -> Decoder -> Codecs.

I have many video codecs installed on my machine but Virtualdub only lets me choose from a very basic selection.
Do I have to manually point VirtualDub to the codecs somehow?

Electrons_Ahoy over 14 yearsAs an additional note, any VFW codecs installed will be found by VirtualDub automatically - no need to do anything manual. So yes, that teensy list in VD is all it can use.
