I keep getting AVI-NI: No video stream. If MPlayer 1.0-Pre8 cannot play
type-1 dv, is there any other software that will play type-1 avi.

I have too much DV Type 1 and it is impractical for me to convert every one
of them to type 2.

Thank you

Hi,

No it can't. Your best bet is to use another player or to convert. In
Windows there's an as-yet imperfect work-around - I've noticed that when I
have the file opened in another, DV AVI type 1-capable player, mplayer IS
capable of playing it. The output isn't impressive but fiddling around with
forcing codecs etc. it improves substantially. I gave up when I came across
an acceptable (to me) conversion utility.

Regards,
Francois
