I used "Capture Flux" v. 5.2.3 by paul glagla to record a home made video on my web cam. The video was 45 minutes long. in a 320x240 screen size at 29.97 fps. I set it to record to avi in "pal" with a frequency of 48000.
The problem is twofold:
-First the saved file is too big, its a 45 minutes long avi file and its 9.8 GBs big, for a webcam video in 320x240 thats insane, i dont know why this happened.
-Second, when i play the saved file, (i have used both windows media player and flv player) it shows a message saying:
"This .avi file was not prepared for sequential viewing, the alternativ "Avi splitter" will now let the default one handle it. The complete reinterleaving of this file is strongly recommended before burning it onto a slow media like cd-rom."
Then the video in the file plays at x2 speed!! (yea like in fast motion) with the sound playing normally, causing obviously the video to end way sooner than the audio track, afterwhich the file keeps playing just the audio.
I cannot just re-record, i need to fix the already existent file
PLEASE HELP, I SERIOUSLY HAVE RAN OUT OF IDEAS HERE.

Do you still have the source so you can start from scratch ?
The reason it's so big is that it is uncompressed RGB. It's massive
compared to xvid or Divx.
Give this a try. Open the file in Virtualdub. Set video/frame rate
to 29.97.
Set video/ video compression / xvid /configure.
Set the defaults and OK out.
File / save as avi.
