It says Codec: dvsd Name DVC/DV Video and the status says Codec(s) are
installed. I downloaded the Panasonic codec in your article. However,
Windows XP Video Decoder Checkup Utility says there are no MPEG-2 decoders on
my system. I used the Panasonic codec to save a second .avi file in
VirtualDubMod.

There is no volume on my avi file - I am assuming I need to find an audio
codec as well?

I really appreciate your assistance! I am amazed at how bloody complicated
and confusing this whole process is. All I want to do is combine video clips
of my daughters into a movie on WMM. It should not be this difficult.
