Doesn't support CINEPAK video format. Any idea how to convert?

[SaiDucc]

Hi I'm looking to convert some old Cinepak files (.CPK). Now it plays fine on my MPC-HC Media player, but I downloaded this Handbrake and it doesn't even recognize the format....any ideas? CPK is a type of AVI so I'm a but surprised as to why this app won't support it?

Could you please post your logs, instructions can be found here:

HandBrake should be able to open Cinepak in AVI. Are you able to provide a small sample that reproduces the issue?

Or a log to see what’s going on

But, does handbrake list .cpk as a file type to look at? It might open it as an AVI if the file extension was .avi ...

If only we had a log to look at and clarify the dozens of possible issues it could be...

HandBrake should be able to open Cinepak in AVI.

It certainly does, as a CVID .CPK even:

So, the OP has some more explaining to do (not that they've explained very much so far).
