I have an odd problem.
I have a 2 minute fishing video codeced in AVI (Ati's propietary one...don't know name off hand) and I can view it fine in AVI players....but when I play it in PowerDVD 2.55 and I attempt to make a .BMP capture of an AVI scene....the program crashes. I reload the program and same thing over again. I really would like to get a capture from one of my fishing scenes in the AVI but I am at a loss at how.
Are there any other AVI players which have a capture utility out there (free preferably) that I could try? Or is there a workaround I do not know about? Remember that it is an ATI based all-in-wonder pro codec from a few years ago...and I no longer have that video card....and I am using unofficial ATI codecs to play it back on my G400 max based machine...so that could be contributing to the difficulty in capturing...but alas the .AVI plays just fine.
thanks
