You could always try to correct the files manually, by checking and rechecking what should be where, and put it there. The RIFF format (also known as "avi", but that's just a special case) is pretty simple. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIFF > Is there any way I can convert the files so they will be playable in linux. > I am intending to use them for editing in cinelerra. Not even mplayer is able to play them? With any luck, it's just a matter of inserting a better FourCC in the header. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FourCC The FourCC used by lavrec is MJPG. /Sam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
