Help: Couldn’t locate decompressor for format `XVID` VirtualDub requires a VFW codec

Just downloaded the application and all’s well

http://www.free-codecs.com/Nic_XviD_Codec_download.htm

If you have a 64 bit os, like Vista or XP 64bit, you will need the 64 bit codec for Xvid.

Download it HERE.

Sooo uh..
I have Vista 32bit Home Premium
I downloaded VirtualDub 1.3c (build 10740)
I downloaded the codecs provided and I still can’t get rid of the Couldn’t locate decompressor for format `XVID` (unknown) message, what am I doing wrong?

@Talkinggoat, download VirtualDub 1.8 and make sure u have ffdshow installed, if not, download it. Then, download this http://www.mediafire.com/?2mwqyjr9imn and 'reg' it!

THaaannnkss..SOOO MUCH..you made my day!!!

I had the same issue as the poster with a recently translated/dubbed video but now when I try to open a slightly older video, it gives the same error msg except now the system can’t find a decompressor for format DX50. Maybe the translator used a diff kind of codec? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
