Default How to view a file .avi with Irfanview that asks for H264 on Win98

I just ran avidemux on the WinXP. Worked PERFECTLY for
these security cam videos and easily step either direction,
BUT! can't change image size?! can change control window
size, but not the image size. Oh well it does do what I
want and the images off my cameras are large enough so will
work/function.


Well if you have the still images, simply open them in
IrfanView and use "ImageResize/Resample..." from the menu. It
may well do a better job at resizing the images than most
video players would anyway.

I tried to view an .avi from a realtor that I got years ago
when we were house hunting. The image pops into the screen,
but when you hit play, the program announces it's creating
a 'rash' file and quits! Can't view these avi videos go
figure, I used to watch them on the Win98 and now these old
avi's won't view on the avidemux on the WinXP.


I haven't much experience with avidemux. However I do make
much use of VirtualDub (http://www.virtualdub.org/) which runs
on Windows 98. I've used it before to grab frames from video
using the "Copy Source Frame to Clipboard" option in the
"Video" menu and it worked quite well.

You will need a codec for it to work though. Xvid
(http://www.xvid.org/) is a popular Freeware one, and
supposably supports 98. With that installed, the Windows Media
Player interface in IrfanView should work too, as well as
Media Player Classic.

Ffdshow Tryouts (http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/) has
the same decoders in it that VLC uses, but they are able to be
used as codecs (hence work in IrfanView, MPC, VirtualDub
etc.). I'm prety sure I've tried and failed to install it on
98 though. Perhaps KernelEx would help...

Thanks for the hint, will look again. I have Win98SE, which won't run Adobe's Acrobat 6 which specifically states it will run on Win98SE, so don't know what the OS actually is. maybe half way between.

But VLC is installed, yet Irfanview wouldn't view the avi. And, VLC simply locked up the system.

Forgot what works best, but has frame forward and frame reverse, which none of the others had. I needed the frame step characteristic for viewing security tapes.

..snip...excellent information

Thank you for this wealth of information!

I checked and found an older copy of AnyVideoConverter, [16MB] circa July 2010 installed back when I was trying to view other videos. I had tried that version of AnyVideoConvert at the time and it failed miserably on this machine.

My machine has not changed since then [I think, perhaps kernel got installed]

Are you certain that later versions of AnyVideoConverter would work better? Seems to me the bloated code, going from 16MB to 31+Mb, would be more to address WinXP, etc.

Thank you for providing the specific URL.
I downloaded and have it stored ready to use.
Interesting. unicows.dll is dated 1/21/12 258kB

Looking around inside this PC, I found five locations of two unique versions of unicows.dll
the one associated with java script in bin is 1/21/12 240kB
the other four are 12/7/04 253kB and located in
C:/Program Files/Windows/System
C:/Program Files/VideoLAN/VLC
C;/Win98/MicrosoftUnicodeLayer
C:/Win98/UnicodeLayer

The Win98 folder is one I created to store SW specific to Win98
[note i use forward slash, just in case this server balks at having backslash buried in a posting]
