Shello,
i downloaded the program n followed the instructions. in the log
window, when doing the video encoding this message appeared: AVISynth Error!
AVISource: couldn't locate a decompressor for fourcc DIVX. I pressed ok and
then it came up after a short while. all jobs done.
wat did this message mean and has the covertion from avi to dvd, been done
properly?
