602 .avi codec?

kfrank said:

Just got my s602z yesterday, been playing with it a little (wow! I
can't believe how speedy it is compared to my old Kodak 3400), and
tried taking a movie of my son. I can view it in the
VideoImpression app (which I installed directly from it's subfolder
on the cdrom -- I've had too many bad experiences with USB drivers
of all sorts screwing my win2k box up to risk the "full" install).

Anyways, I can't view the movie on any other pc in my house (a
collection of win98 and win2k boxes). How does one go about
converting these .avi's to something a little more standard (say,
mpg, and with a whole lot more compression)?

I have no problem viewing the .avi's on media player 6 (packaged
with the free IE 6 update) and finepix viewer in windows 98se.
Media player 6 looks better with less blocky pixels showing during
playback.

Hmmm, I've got media player 7.01 on my win2k box, and I cannot play
these .avi's on it. (I can play them with the QuickTime 5.0.2
player).

I would also like to learn how to convert these to .mpg's. I tried
once in finepix viewer and I got an error message I haven't tried
to figure out yet.

First of all.. Download the latest DirectX drivers from microsoft.

Secondly, once this is installed, use any video file converter (do
a search)
and you should be able to convert to any format. (FlashMPG, Can't
remember other file converter software)

I've been using VirtualDub to convert unpacked avi to DivX avi.
Size is about 12-14% of normal avi and quality is same. Of course
you need divx codecs (download from http://www.divx.com ). VirtualDub
homepage can be found with google.
