Hi
In a conversation last year, someone's advice for solving a problem with FMP4 was "Change the 4CC from FMP4 to DX50". That was in answer to someone's question in which he said he was using GSpot to determine the type of file.
I also have an AVI file which plays audio, not video, and which "AVICodec" identifies as containing an FMP4 format.
The change from FMP4 to DX50 can't be made in GSpot, so I'd like to have some elaboration on that advice. I can't make the change in AVIC, it only 'goes up to' DIV4.
What progress has been made in this area since last year?
I've searched "4cc fmp4 dx50" here and didn't see anything on the subject except that one conversation from last year.

Thanks

Type the new codec in 'lower case' in the upper field and 'caps' in the lower.

Hi Attar, thanks for the help. I didn't think of trying to enter that manually...
With that change made in "AVI FourCC Code Changer", I can see the video.
I tried to load the file into DivX Converter, but it wouldn't work. So I'm running it through DivX Author, which hopefully will fix the codec problem.
(These poor files have had a rough journey, DV first, then DVD apparently, then AVI in this exotic codec, and now they want the files readable with menus, so I'm going to try to convert them all and give them menus with the DivX software. I couldn't even figure how to read the files, until you helped... Gonna be a long rest-of-the-summer, maybe, heheh)
Thanks again!
