reading an avi file

| Hi
I am new in matlab. when I call this function
aviread(<filename> ), i am getting an error
??? Unable to locate decompressor to decompress video stream
Error in ==> aviread at 63
X = readavi(info.Filename,-1);
I have downloaded DivX codec after finding the compressor name by
aviinfo and media player started to run that file. But matlab is not
reading. Plz tell me solution. Should I install codec in some
specified location with some specified name for matlab?
Thanx

| Rishu,
Unfortunately aviread does not support reading DivX compressed AVI files.
As a workaround you can convert the file to an uncompressed AVI using a
tool such as AVS Video Tools:
http://www.avsmedia.com/VideoTools/index.aspx
After the conversion it should import into MATLAB properly.
