AVI_IO mpeg-4 capture probs

[kenobi]

I am trying out the trial version of AVI_IO. I am having trouble getting it to capture in mpeg-4 format. Every time I try it I get a
ERROR INITIALIZING VIDEO COMPESSION.
All other codecs work fine but those. The mpeg-4 is the format I need and the reason I would perchase. I read the note about setting capture setting befor the first capture, still no luck.

I get this message if I try to capture in a format not supported by MPEG-4. The frame size is an issue here. Have you tried 352x288. Soemthing else. It apears like MS changed something in their codec to PREVENT it from working with AVI based programms. So the question is if you can capture in VidCap useing this codec or not.

There is a modified version of MPEG-4 available from some sites which removes some of limitations on it that Microsoft have put on it.
I believe that some of the older MPEG-4 codecs worked but new versions don't.

If you would like to get the modified MPEG-4 let me know.
