    Hi, I am trying to put together a Video Clip organizer for all of my captured AVI file clips. I need to be able to get it to play the clip so that I can see what it was in order to catalog it, so I went for the "simplest" method using MCIWndCreate() and MCIWndPlay() etc... Unfortunately when I try this, I get a message; "Video not available: Cannot find 'vids:dvsd' decompressor." But if I just click the clip in explorer, it plays OK in Windows Media Player (v10).... I am using Visual Studio.net 2003 on WinXP Professional. At the same time I am using some AVIFile functions within the program to access various stream information from the file; if this is relevant in any way. Anyone have any idea why this is happenning, and how to fix it, or is there a better way to get the clip to play? Thanks, Bryan.
