help me to convert WMV to AVI,mpg etc

[wesley]

hi

i got a large WMV video which i like to edit, make the video shorter, making few GIF's etc

so i used format factory to convert the video to AVI, but virtualdubmod wouldnt open the converted video, i also tried different codec, XVID, DIVX, all same error

message saying

[!] Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'avc1' (unknown).
VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec to
decompress video. DirectShow codecs, such as those used by Windows Media
Player, are not suitable. Only 'Direct stream copy' is available for this
video.

i tried converting to mpeg, mkv, mpg. still cant getting it working

anyone ?

thanks
