Unfortunately, the only way to troubleshoot is to know what the error message says -- or confirmation message, if that's the case. You may have to resort to video-taping the screen, either with a camera pointed at the monitor, or by use screen capture software.

I've had to do this myself, for a Windows pre-BSOD message. Camera aimed at screen.

This [SOLVED] post is partly wrong, you don't need the whole syswow64 + run as admin stuff

+ On Windows x32, just download HUFFYUV x32 and right-click the inf file and Install (and use VirtualDub x32)
+ On Windows x64, just download HUFFYUV x64 and right-click the inf file and Install (and use VirtualDub x64)

you need the hack ONLY to use HUFFYUV x32 on Windows x64 !!!

Ugh, still doesn't show up under compression in Virtual Dub.

What worked for in Windows 7 64-bit was using the instructions i post 3, but switching to the 64-bit huffyuv codec and installing it in system32 using CMD with admin rights.

The command looked like this:
1. Browsed to c:\windows\system32\
2. Typed in: runddll32.exe setupapi.dll InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 0 c:\huffyuv64\huffyuv.inf

My huffyuv 64-bit .dll and .inf was located in a folder called huffyuv64 on my c-drive. Suddenly huffy showed up i Vdub. Time to capture =)

Hope this can help someone out there.

I'd just like to thank the last three posters.

Sometimes the instructions don't always work 100% the same from person to person. So thanks for sharing your added failings and successes. We'll try to incorporate some if/then/and/but type statements into the third posts that discusses the available methods.

Much of this is just due to the variations of Windows, as well as variations in how it can be set up.

Thanks, Microsoft!
