a user found this codec was used by his tv capture card but the codec is not important to him, and i have not seen it in the wild. only one codec init's ok, but it does not work there are 2 codecs in the folder, wnv1 and winx.

Movplay1.dll movwinx.dll winxplyr.inf wnvwinx.dll codecs.conf.txt winx-codec.avi wnv1-codec.avi

Compn, you were almost there (yeah, the error message could have been more informative). You forgot the output format. Use this entry in codecs.conf to get winx working

videocodec winx info "winx codec" status buggy fourcc WINX driver vfw dll "wnvwinx.dll" out BGR24

The codec support many output formats, like BGR32,BGR24,BGR16,IYUV and probably others i didn't test. You can add them all to the out line

so then it works for you? here i get this error.

About wnv1, looks like you need a different dll to decode it. This one strangely accept the fourcc, but then returns a zero length BITMAPINFOHEADER structure when queried for decompressed format (ICDecompressFormatSize), and that causes a sig11 later when initializing vo. BTW, we should probably check for it and report an error instead of sig11,

Please ask hin if he have other dlls (something like wnvwnv1.dll could be the right one).

i got those dll's from the companies' website. i should have included it in the email but i forgot. google winx codec gives you company site ... http://support.winnov.com/general_info/codec/wnvx.htm i'll ask the guy, i dont think there are other dll tho...

Ciao, Roberto

thanks for testing! -compn
