Hi again
I had a problem that can not see video from Canon .avi files.
Here's info from GSpot:
..avi
4cc:mjpg
Name:motion JPEG including Huffman Tables
3 compatible codecs installed:
ffdshow MPEG-4 Video decoder
AVI Draw
MJpeg Decompressor

Renders)-AVI Splitter-VFW:AVI Draw-DivXG400-SubtitleMixer-(r)
Direct Show claims to be able to play the file

Please advice what should I do to see my .avi files
Thanks
