Need Help Re-encoding a file

[Clocker]

Any advice would be appreciated. I can't even tell what codec is used. I think it is a WindowsMedia 7.1 but I'm not sure.

I need to encode this so it can be viewed using Windows Media Player 6.4 with an older codec...

File is here....7MB (sorry). http://www.wideopenwest.com/~kharper/video.avi


Can anyone help me or give me some advice? I need to get this done pronto! I have about 8 other similar clips. Right click and save file as....

Thanks,
Clocker

I don't know what codec it is either, but a quick check with VirtualDub shows that you can re-encode it with any codec you have on your system. Is there a specific one you wanted to use?

I'll play with VDub. TMPend could not open it ....weird.

Thanks I'll try it...not sure what codec I want.....an older one so I can be confident this Win2K box at work can open it...

Worked great! MS-MPEG4 V1 should probably be pretty old and available on Media Player 6.4 I'd guess... Right?

I'm almost positive that'll work with 6.4. VirtualDub is such an invaluable program, and I can't live without it. I use it for almost all of my encodings.
