hello,
Seeking input on a safe program I can download to my laptop to edit AVI files....
The registrator viewer will not edit them. Thanks!
 
wow this is frustrating. I have tried 4 different programs and they will not work. I am transferring these videos from my SD card to my desktop and they are AVI files....I do not understand why or what that is. I have tried the Registrator Viewer, Windows Movie Maker, VirtualDUB, and one other I cant remember the name of that was like solveigmm or something. VirtualDUB says "Couldn't locate decompressor for format H264" when I try to open a video. My experience with computers is very limited, any help would be appreciated, thanks. I am simply trying to edit these videos, but particularly cut time in them.
 
AVI files are tricky, RegistratorViewer will only edit/export MOV / MP4 videos.

I believe http://DashCamViewer.com has limited export abilities, give it a shot. (not sure if both Mac and Windows versions has it)

Thank you for this response. I was able to download this program and play my videos but I do not see anywhere I can edit it. I downloaded the free version so I'm not sure if that made a difference...but I am looking cut smalls portions out of the three minutes videos I have.
 
Maybe @traveler can elaborate. It appears to be a Mac only feature at this time.

Assuming you are using a Windows machine as you have WMM? What's the error you get when you try to import your avi?
 
I was not running the latest version of windows movie maker so that is why it was requiring the codec download. I downloaded the latest version of WMM and everything is fine now. Thanks to everyone for the help.

I've viewed and edited avi files that have h264 (avc) video in them using Virtualdub successfully. I think Virtualdub utilizes Windows' old school VFW codecs (from Windows 95 era?) for opening/saving files directly. Get a full featured freeware open source codec pack with 64 bit support such as K-Lite Mega Codec Pack or similar. And be sure to update Microsoft DirectX and install x264 and all other VFW codecs. And reboot/signout before using everything. Videohelp.com forums are great for more info. Cheers :)
