if source does have some unsupported x264 features, then will not be able to Direct Stream Copy.

Dont think "Select different input driver" will make any difference, unless it decodes to uncompressed video, which you could then copy to
output AVI as uncompressed video (perhaps YUV or maybe only RGB, dont know).

I would use Fast Recompress, to some output codec, but that stuff has changed in Vdub2 (cant remember in what way it changed).

EDIT: The VirtualDub x264 compression thingy docs will likely tell what features of x264 are unsupported in AVI files.
I've just tried the very same thing, on the very same file, with old VDub 32-bit without a problem. But VirtualDub2 only keeps telling me "Select different input driver" on the very same file.

I've checked that before mentioning the issue here. It's what VirtualDub2 is set to by default, but still that error msg where old VDub has no problem at all.
