I have a an xvid file that i wanted to demux into seperate video and audio, the audio is ac3 at the moment and if possible i'd like to keep it at that way. When i load it i get this message from virtualdubmod

Couldn't locate decompressor for format xvid, virtualdub requires video for windows vfw compatible codec to decompress video. Directshow codecs such as those used by windows media player are not suitable. Only direct stream copy is available for this copy.

Bit confused by this as i have the xvid codec installed and i thought it worked with vdm - i'm sure i've seen packs to download described as vdm+xvid. Can you get different versions of xvid, a directshow one and a vfw one ?

If you get that error, then XviD isn't properly intalled. Does it show up as an option under codec selection in VDubMod? Probably it doesn't.

I fail to see the problem anyway. Not having a decoder installed won't effect what you are doing.

Yes exactly.
Since direct-stream copy is what you wish to do, you have no problem.

I use Nandub, not as a video tool but works great with all VBR MP3 and AC3 audio :^) Perfect for your requirement.
