startmovie avi error - "A suitable compressor could not be found"

Trying to record a Demo 7alfa gave me from the IsF vs RQ match, but when using startmovie avi I get the following error message:
“A suitable compressor could not be found”
resulting in a .avi of exactly 0kB in size. :S
Is it because the update broke the Demo or did it break the Demo recorder?
Kind of goes around your issue, but why would you want to render to AVI? Rendering to targa/wave is a lot less buggy…
Some others have had the same problem, I’ve learned that recording to .avi is very random
But recording to .tga always works
and
“Currently, Source’s avi utility does not create open-dml 2.0 compliant files, meaning files over 2 gb are corrupt, and has a 4 gb cap.” (im not sure if this has been updated)

Because it’s simply faster, and worked flawlessly for me until this update. Rendering as .tga and converting also seems to give a little desynchronization of the audio at the larger clips.

Noticed that, but this is a 6 second (~300MB) section I want to convert. :S
