Problems viewing test file

The test file, videoclip1.avi, which is part of the initial setup zip file downloaded from our server, is compressed with Microsoft's MPEG-4 V2 codec, which is a good way to make supercompressed video clips with scene change detection capabilities.

The easiest way to use it is to convert it. One reason we've compressed it with MPEG-4 is to show you how efficient our in-built converter actually is.

If you insist on using it without converting it first, you must have a fast Directshow MPEG-4 codec filter installed. We recommend that you install the LAV codecs or the freeware program FFDshow, downloadable from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=53761.

If you are still having trouble framestepping after installing Ffdshow, please select Options/Setup/video configuration/scene change and tick the "enable scene change detection" box, then restart the program.
