Essex, innit?
My parents have uploaded an AVI file from a camcorder for me to download.

I've downloaded it, but whenever I open it, a weird "AVI Chuink Viewer" opens. It looks like a graph of some kind.

The text with it says the following:

The AVI file was not prepared for sequential reading, the alternative 'AVI Splitter' will now let the default one handle it. The complete interleaving of this file is strongly recommended before buring it to a slow media like cd-rom.

:confused: Anyone know what this means?

Thanks

James

Interleaving means it's sending a mixture of audio and video at the same time instead of just a big chunk of video then a big chunk of audio.

In most re-encoders there should be an option somewhere. (sorry i'm not much help)

erm, sorry, what's a re-encoder??? :o

An encoder turns one type of format of video into another.

Say from DVD to XVID(it's a codec to compress the video)

Or they can do other things with it.

Thats a link for an encoder that is quite easy to use, but i'm not sure what the free sample is like.

There is also a free one I know of but I can't remember the name, i'll go look it up later bit busy at the minute.
