Xvid MiniConvert says source file not supported

Trying to convert some old AVI clips from a camcorder. Xvid MiniConvert throws 'source file not supported' on every one. They play fine in VLC. Missing codec, or wrong tool?

if HandBrake opens it fine, I'd just do the whole conversion in HandBrake and skip MiniConvert entirely. it's had no updates in years and there's nothing it does that HandBrake can't.

what's the source? if it came off a phone it's probably HEVC/H.265, and older converters choke on that. run it through HandBrake first, or check the codec with MediaInfo so you know what you're dealing with.
