I have just downloaded Avi2dvd and when attempting to convert an AVI file i get an error

Avisynth open failure:
AVISource: couldn't locate a decompressor for FourCC XviD
(c:\avi2dvd_temp\Aviscript_Script_file.avs,line2)

When I downloaded Avi2dvd I also installed Avisynth but using the defaults during install.

Any help would be appreciated

Sounds like you need a codec.
You can drag the AVI onto 'Gspot' and it will let you know if the codecs are installed.

You might want to check out this AVI conversion program.It has it's own codecs.

Set 'Aspect' and 'Standard' before converting.

Loaded GSpot and tested the AVI file and the required codec is installed.

Did you try to convert it with the VSO program?
What type of AVI is it?
What information did GSpot show under 'Video'?

Yes tried the VSO program but got lots of error messages as follows

Video packet dropped due to error on frame NNNN

Gspot shows Codec: XviD Name: XviD 1.2 SMP MPG4

Codec(s) are Installed

The file is an australian movie called Kenny

I can't think of any good reason why the two conversion programs would have a problem with this file.

If you wish to scan the file for errors,run VirtualDub and drag the file on to the window.
Click 'Video' > 'Scan video stream for errors' and see if it reads a problem.

VirtualDub most recent stable
http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/

BTW does the file play ok on the PC?
