Hi,

I've used Flycap v2.5.2 to record a video of a about 1 hour (8.12GB). Unfortunately, I cannot open de avi file!
VirtualDub gives this error:

"Cannot determine file type"

And as avi compatibility mode:

"Avi Import filter error: bad format (80044066)"

Is my file lost? isn't there a way to at least extract the audio track? At worst is it conceivable to edit and change some headers ?

It really annoys me to loos that job mad.gif

Thanks for your help

Does the AVI play in Mediaplayer ? If so you can try AVISynth and its 'DirectShowSouce' command to frameserve it to Vdub and make a valid AVI from it ...

Seems I remember hearing bad things about flycap somewhere. Don't ask me where though. I agree with Christian here just a slight alteration. With AVISynth 2.06 you should try the avisource option. It should pick up both the video and audio. Unless there is a newer version of AVISynth that can pick up the audio via Directshowsource.

Thank you for your reply, and sorry to answer that late.
I've tried the avisynth solution (that's a really cool piece of soft btw), but to no avail sad.gif , tried other stuff claiming to open any avi, even broken, but they all failed.
So, since the audio was pcm, I renamed the file to wav and openned it in a wav editor. There I found the audio chunks.
So now I'll tackle the writting of a prog that gathers all these chunks...

many thanks
