I recorded a video years ago of my children dancing to a song. I used a super cheap “TwinkleCam” (it was good enough at the time).
When I upgraded my camera I gave the TwinkleCam to a friend. He soon reported troubles with it and tossed it... and the setup CD... in the trash!
When I returned to my video files... YIKES! They wouldn’t play! I’ve installed some TwinkleCam drivers I’ve found... but the files still would not play.
So: thanks for these codecs, dudes!!! I just plugged it in and: Boom! my kids from 5 years ago are jumping around like silly imps. My wife’ll be brought to tears when she sees this!
