Hi!
I understand that there's a codec problem out there. The download I recommended (Microsoft MPEG-4 V1/2/3 VKI Codec) doesn't seem to work for everybody.
Try
K-Lite Codec Pack, choose between basic, standard, full, mega or 64-bit, they're all free. Check out which one you think you need, download and install. Hopefully this works.
Very strange you couldn't open the .avi-file in MEE4, never had any such problems. The .fbr-file however only works in BBFlash.
Here's more on codecs from BB Flash's own help files:
"About AVI codecs
A codec is software that is used to generate and play back the AVI movie file. When exporting a BB FlashBack Free movie file to AVI format, you need to select a codec, and the one you select will have a large impact on the file size and image quality of the exported movie.
You need to be aware that because the codec may also be necessary to play back the movie, a PC may be unable to play back the exported AVI file if it does not have the codec you selected during the export process.
Windows default codecs
Windows comes with a small number of codecs installed by default: Indeo 3,4 or 5, Cinepak and Microsoft Video 1. If you choose one of these you can be fairly sure that the AVI will play back correctly on most Windows PCs. Of these default codecs, we have found that "Microsoft Video 1" gives the best balance of picture quality and file size.
Third party codecs
You can install other codecs on your PC, as well as these defaults. Some may already have been installed as part of an application. These third party codecs can give much better results than the default Windows codecs.
However, be aware that if you use a codec that is not included with Windows by default, it will fail to play back on many PCs.
If you want to use a non-Windows default codec, our tests have found that, in many cases, XVid gives the best quality and filesize. It can be downloaded from
www.divxmovies.com.
Note: for a PC to play XVid movies in Windows Media Player (the default movie player on many PCs), the XVid codec will need to be installed first.
There are hundreds of third party codecs. As well as the default Windows codecs, we've tested BB FlashBack Express with these: DivX, 3ivx D4 v4.5, Xvid, VP70, VP31, Microsoft MPEG4 v1-3, ffdshow (encoding Xvid).
How do I choose the best codec?
This will depend on what you are exporting, and what your priorities are: do you want the best picture quality, or the smallest files, or for your AVI to playback on as many Windows PCs as possible? Different codecs will give varying quality and file size when exporting different movies. You'll need to try it out and see the results."
