Joe-

I'm getting pretty far through these steps. I come to a screeching halt when
I try to bring them into NANdub (virtualDub). The error I get is:

"Couldn't locate a decompressor for format VFP (unknown). VirtualDub
requires a video for windows compatible codec to do compressed video.
DirectShow codecs such as those used by Windows Media Player are not
suitable"

Do you know what codec to use? I've loaded the PowerDVD player, but it
doesn't seem to change anything.. Maybe that's what they mean by directshow
codec?

Any ideas? Thanks.
