Troubleshooting: “Unsupported Codec” Error in JINX! for AVI Files
If your AVI files won’t play in JINX! and you’re seeing the message “maybe an unsupported codec,” it means that the necessary Video for Windows (VfW) codecs are not installed on your system. The AVI player inside JINX! relies on the VfW API, so you’ll need to install these codecs to play your AVI files correctly.
Step 1: Install the ffdshow Codecs
The best starting point is to install the ffdshow codecs, which can be downloaded from ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net.
- Download ffdshow: Visit the ffdshow download page and download the latest stable release.
- Run the Installer: During the installation process, make sure to activate the “VfW Interface.” This step is crucial to ensure that the necessary VfW codecs are installed.
Step 2: Configure VfW Codecs
After installing the ffdshow codecs, you need to configure them to activate the necessary codecs for your AVI files.
- Start VfW Configuration: Open the ffdshow VfW configuration tool.
- Activate Codecs: In the configuration window, navigate to the “Decoder” tab. In the left pane, click on “Codecs.”
- Set All Stable Formats to libavcodec: Right-click in the right pane and select “Set all stable formats to libavcodec.” This action will activate nearly all the codecs you need to play AVI files within JINX!.
