You need to update the software to the latest version, those files are not supported in older versions.
You can download the latest version from www.vso-software.fr/download.php

I have the latest version, installed the .dll and it still won't work. Here's the log:

Hi,

for the error "Error while opening decoder for stream #0.0"
this version 2.1.9 which is not an official version yet should solve the problem:

http://download2.vso-software.fr/vso..._setup_219.exe

Hi all,

I too can't convert it. It made it thru the end of the conversion and also split the movie in chapters but the Video Playback is Green and the audio seems to be fine tho. Please help. I'll try to upgrade the new version. Hope it helps. How did your work out Cali Girl?

After several tries last month, i finally gave up and bought the WinAvi just to do the rmvb stuff.
For AVI..., VSO is way better.

you did add the Real Media dll to ConvertXtoDVD.exe path as stated here
http://www.cdr-zone.com/forum/about7348.html?

Yes...I did.

lavore: If someone says to you that his Chevrolet has problems in certain conditions, do you answer "I drive Hyundai, it works in those conditions" ?

Changing/getting another software is easier/cheaper than switching car dude.

Sure, you can switch when ever you have problems.
But that is not solving problems, it is avoiding them.

i admit i'm a quitter in many ways. but hey computers are for lazy ppl so i just want everything work fast and easy
