Thank's for the advice not expanding the codecs any further.

GSpot returns the following message on rendering (tried a few avi's and the
message remains the same):

" DirectShow was unable to render the file. Following is the error it
reported:

 0x80040265: VFW_E_UNSUPPORTED_STREAM - Cannot play back the file. The
format is not supported. "

GSpot reports that several suitable codecs - for each avi I tried. The
suitable codecs may however differ per file. Typically GSpot report like this:

" The following codecs all claim to be capable of processing this format:

--> {Morgan Multimedia M-JPEG V3 codec}
--> {Morgan MJPEG Decompressor}
--> {AVI Draw}
--> {MJPEG Decompressor}

 Nonetheless, DirectShow is apparently NOT able to play this file. (see
"DirectShow Render", below). No further information is available concerning
the apparent discrepancy "

Would that info suffice for a clue? Thx!
