opentld.exe says "Unable to open video" with various AVI containers

[Alex Edgcomb]

I'm on Windows 7 using the pre-compiled opentld.exe from OpenTLD_1.3.0. I'd like to run opentld.exe on some AVI files. When I use the following command line, I receive the error "Error: Unable to open video":
opentld.exe -d VID -z 0 -i cam1.avi

This error is generated from "ImAcq.cpp" on line 56 when the video capture is NULL.

I've converted my AVI files to each of the pre-loaded AVI formats provided in "Any Video Converter 5". Same error is observed.

opentld.exe runs perfectly with a webcam (great job btw!).

How should I proceed?

Thank you,
Alex

Hi,

OpenTLD can use only codecs that are registered with Windows, so maybe
installing a codec pack might help? If everything fails, you could try
converting the video to a sequences of images, there are tools that can
do that for you.
