Hi all,

ImageJ has the possibility to open .avi files. However, when I try, I
get the error message "cannot open video files missing Huffman tables".
So my question is: how can I encode my files (coming from a DVD
recorder) into an avi that will be readable by ImageJ?
I tried some codecs from VLC or virtualdub but never succeeded.

Alternatively, the final aim is to measure the diameter of a round cell
along time. Our setup include a microscope camera linked to a DVD
recorder. I would like to use an equivalent of the ruler tool from
ImageJ. Do you know any possibility or any other alternative?

Thank You

Yann
